The effect of a dynamic background albedo scheme on Sahel/Sahara precipitation during the mid-Holocene
We have implemented a new albedo scheme that takes the dynamic behaviour of the surface below the canopy into account, into the land-surface scheme of the MPI-ESM. The standard (static) scheme calculates the seasonal canopy albedo as a function of leaf area index, whereas the background albedo is a...
