                         imposes substantial control on the hydrological and diurnal cycles 
                         of several meteorological quantities. This paper presents the 
                         integration and validation of the regional Eta Model coupled with 
                         the Simplified Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB). The regional 
                         atmospheric model was configured with 80-km resolution in the 
                         horizontal and 38 layers. One-month continuous integrations were 
                         performed for November 1997 (El Nino year) and November 1998 (La 
                         Nina year). NCEP analyses were used as initial and lateral 
                         boundary conditions, the latter updated every 6 hours. Observed 
                         sea surface temperature, climatological soil moisture and surface 
                         albedo were used as lower boundary conditions. The present work 
                         focuses on the diurnal cycle of surface temperature, radiative 
                         fluxes, sensible and latent heat fluxes, and relative humidity. 
                         Four sites with different surface covers are chosen for the 
                         evaluation. The vegetation types are: (i) tropical forest; (ii) 
                         savannah; (iii) cultivation; and (iv) bare soil. A comparison of 
                         model simulated diurnal cycle amplitude with observations and NCEP 
                         analyses is shown.",
