Abstract :
Sensitivity studies are conducted with a land surface parameterization (LSP) to investigate the impact of remotely sensed land surface parameters (leaf area index (LAI), roughness length, albedo) on modeled surface fluxes. The incorporation of albedo and LAI in the LSP are found to significantly modify the simulated surface fluxes
