abstract = "This study evaluates the simulations of the Noah-MP surface
processes over a crop and a forest sites in Amazonia using tower
observations. Soil moisture simulations agree with the
observations in both land covers, mainly during the rainy season.
However, simulations show cold biases in the soil temperature at
both sites. The magnitude and seasonal cycle of the surface energy
fluxes are better simulated at the crop site, although the model
significantly underestimates the sensible heat flux at this site.
The model reproduces the seasonal pattern of surface runoff at
both sites. The Noah-MP model does not adequately simulate the
base flow at the crop site, while the simulated total runoff at
the forest site is closer to the observation than at the crop
site. The results show that, in general, the Noah-MP model
simulations for the two sites in Amazonia exhibit fairly realistic
performance, particularly over the crop site. However, there are
cold biases in soil temperature simulations, which could be
related with the parameterization of the equilibrium relationship
between soil moisture and soil temperature.",
