The performance of the TERRA module can be improved if the bare soil evaporation, the water withdraw from soil by the vegetation and the wa- ter transfer at the lower hydrological boundary are modified. Besides a realistic ratio of the turbulent fluxes, their accurate amounts are likewise important to achieve a realistic soil water content in the an- nual cycle as well. Both experimental model runs (with SMA/ without SMA) should be con-tinued to estimate the chosen options more reliably. To consolidate the findings similar validation studies are recommended at other boundary layer sites with different local conditions. Conclusions
