Influence of Land-Surface Roughness on Atmospheric Circulation and Rainfall: A Sensitivity Study with a GCMThe sensitivity of atmospheric circulation to the surface roughness of land was studied. The study suggests that land-surface roughness is an important parameter. It is concluded that future simulations of weather and climate should be made with global circulation models that include a suitable parameterization of the vegetation on land.
