             abstract = "This study evaluates the use of tiles to estimate the effects of 
                         surface heterogeneities in simulations of local climate in a 
                         landscape-fragmented region of Amazonia. Three experiments using 
                         the Eta/Noah-MP model were designed as follows: two experiments 
                         with a spatial resolution of 5 km with and without the use of the 
                         tile approach. The third experiment used a finer spatial 
                         resolution of 2 km without the use of the tile approach 
                         (high-resolution experiment). Simulations were carried out for the 
                         rainy and dry seasons, which correspond to the months of March and 
                         September 2003, respectively. In general, the magnitude of surface 
                         fluxes is significantly affected by the introduction of tiles. In 
                         the dry season, the use of tiles in the simulation increases the 
                         magnitude of precipitation (about 7 mm day\−1), skin 
                         temperature (about 4 °C), sensible heat flux (about 80 W 
                         m\−2) and surface albedo (about 0.7). It reduces the latent 
                         heat flux (about 30 W m\−2) and net radiation (about 40 W 
                         m\−2). On the other hand, in the rainy season, the model 
                         produces excessive precipitation. This may have partly masked the 
                         signs of the land fragmentation impact. The tile experiment 
                         generates a warmer and drier boundary layer during the dry season. 
                         The impact of the surface heterogeneity representation is higher 
                         in the dry season than in the rainy season. The results suggest 
                         that the degree of impact of the subgrid process representation on 
                         the local climate is related to the spatial scale of the 
                         fragmentation. The use of the tile approach improves the 
                         representation of the effects of landscape heterogeneity on the 
                         spatial distribution of surface flux variability in fragmented 
                         areas. Comparison against measured data from flux towers in the 
                         region show that the model can simulate diurnal and seasonal 
                         variations in the local fluxes, despite the biases.",
