Generating equations of CLSM F2.5 - GLDAS 2.0

[lsmvivek]

Hello LISF community,
I am looking for the generating equations of the CLSM F2.5 LSM model, which is part of GLDAS 2.0.

The model has been described in the paper Koster et al., 2000 & Ducharne et al., 2000. However, the current model output has some new variables (perhaps new names) not described in the original paper, like Profile soil moisture, Terrestrial water storage.

I would be thankful if anyone can help me point to some sources where I can get the actual generating equations.
PS: I have read through the papers which were used to build CLSM, like Beven & Kirkby 1979, Hornberger 1978, Koster 1996, Stieglitz 1994.

Hi @lsmvivek

Thanks for your patience with a reply. Several LIS team members were on leave in July/August, we have lost some staff,
and we had important annual meetings this month.

The LIS team are not the model developers for the Catchment LSM. You should contact Rolf Reichle at NASA/GMAO.

This documentation may also help: https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/pubs/docs/Mahanama804.pdf

Thank for your response, I shall go through the documentation.
