Improved modelling of Siberian river flow through the use of an alternative frozen soil hydrology scheme in a land surface model

A parameterisation to incorporate the effects of frozen soil on modelled hydrology is described and implemented within a land surface model, the Joint UK Land Surface Environment Simulator. It is shown to generally improve the modelled flow of Siberian rivers compared to observations, specifically i...
