abstract = {Interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere
play a fundamental role in the weather and climate system.
Here we present a comparison of summertime land-atmosphere
coupling strength found in a subset of the
ERA-Interim-driven European domain Coordinated Regional
Climate Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX) model ensemble
(1989–2008). Most of the regional climate models (RCMs)
reproduce the overall soil moisture interannual variability,
spatial patterns, and annual cycles of surface exchange
fluxes for the different European climate zones suggested by
the observational Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model
(GLEAM) and FLUXNET data sets. However, some RCMs differ
substantially from FLUXNET observations for some regions.
The coupling strength is quantified by the correlation
between the surface sensible and the latent heat flux, and
by the correlation between the latent heat flux and 2 m
temperature. The first correlation is compared to its
estimate from the few available long-term European
high-quality FLUXNET observations, and the latter to results
from gridded GLEAM data. The RCM simulations agree with both
observational datasets in the large-scale pattern
characterized by strong coupling in southern Europe and weak
coupling in northern Europe. However, in the transition zone
from strong to weak coupling covering large parts of central
Europe many of the RCMs tend to overestimate the coupling
strength in comparison to both FLUXNET and GLEAM. The RCM
ensemble spread is caused primarily by the different land
surface models applied, and by the model-specific weather
conditions resulting from different atmospheric
parameterizations.},
