Simple Sensitivity Analysis of Community Land Model using data from Sleepers River Watershed Hydroclimatology Spring 2004 Dana Derickson, Sarah Doyle, Kelley Keese, Erick Leuro, Scout Skillman
Introduction • Sensitivity analysis on model created for the Sleepers River watershed in Vermont • Vegetation ( ↑, ↓ in LAI; grasses → trees) • Soils (clay, sand) • Increasing Temperature by 2 degrees • 1-D model representative of a subwatershed (8.4 km2) • Characterized by C3 arctic and non-arctic grasses with a maximum LAI of 3.5 and silty soils
Forcing Data • 5 years of forcing data from 1969 – 1974 • Hourly intervals • Air temperature • Precipitation • Specific Humidity • Wind speed • Incoming solar radiation • Incoming longwave radiation • Focused on the year of 1973

Predicted Outcomebased on the energy budget(↑ S - ↓S) – (↑ L - ↓L) = LE + SE + G • C1: No Veg • ↓ Rn b/c albedo↑ with absence of canopy • ↓ SH and G b/c less Rn • ↑ in ground E flux but no T flux nor canopy E→ ↓ LE ↑ SMC
