Hydrological modelling on atmospheric grids: using graphs of sub-grid elements to transport energy and water

<p>Land surface models (LSMs) use the atmospheric grid as their basic spatial decomposition because their main objective is to provide the lower boundary conditions to the atmosphere. Lateral water flows at the surface on the other hand require a much higher spatial discretization as they are...
