abstract = {Coupled numerical models, which simulate water and energy
fluxes in the subsurface–land-surface–atmosphere system
in a physically consistent way, are a prerequisite for the
analysis and a better understanding of heat and matter
exchange fluxes at compartmental boundaries and
interdependencies of states across these boundaries.
Complete state evolutions generated by such models may be
regarded as a proxy of the real world, provided they are run
at sufficiently high resolution and incorporate the most
important processes. Such a simulated reality can be used to
test hypotheses on the functioning of the coupled
terrestrial system. Coupled simulation systems, however,
face severe problems caused by the vastly different scales
of the processes acting in and between the compartments of
the terrestrial system, which also hinders comprehensive
tests of their realism. We used the Terrestrial Systems
Modeling Platform (TerrSysMP), which couples the
meteorological Consortium for Small-scale Modeling (COSMO)
model, the land-surface Community Land Model (CLM), and the
subsurface ParFlow model, to generate a simulated catchment
for a regional terrestrial system mimicking the Neckar
catchment in southwest Germany, the virtual Neckar
catchment. Simulations for this catchment are made for the
period 2007–2015 and at a spatial resolution of 400 m
for the land surface and subsurface and 1.1 km for the
atmosphere. Among a discussion of modeling challenges, the
model performance is evaluated based on observations
covering several variables of the water cycle. We find that
the simulated catchment behaves in many aspects quite close
to observations of the real Neckar catchment, e.g.,
concerning atmospheric boundary-layer height, precipitation,
and runoff. But also discrepancies become apparent, both in
the ability of the model to correctly simulate some
processes which still need improvement, such as overland
flow, and in the realism of some observation operators like
the satellite-based soil moisture sensors. The whole raw
dataset is available for interested users. The dataset
described here is available via the CERA database (Schalge
et al., 2020):
