Simulation of semi-arid biomass plantations and irrigation using the WRF-NOAH model – a comparison with observations from Israel

A 10 × 10 km irrigated biomass plantation was simulated in an arid region of Israel to simulate diurnal energy balances during the summer of 2012 (JJA). The goal is to examine daytime horizontal flux gradients between plantation and desert. Simulations were carried out within the coupled WRF-NOAH at...
