6. One paragraph description of your model (e.g. abstract from report or paper); Institute of Atmospheric Physics land surface model (IAP94) is a comprehensive one with detailed description for the processes of vegetation, snow cover and soil. Particular attention has been paid to the cases with three water phases in land surface media. On the basis of the mixture theory and the theory of fluid dynamics of porous media, the system of universal conservational equations for water and heat of snow, soil and vegetation canopy has been constructed. On this background, all important factors that may affect the water and heat balance in media can be considered naturally, and each factor and term possess distinct physical meaning. In the computation of water content and temperature, the water phase change and heat transportation by water flow is taken into account. Moreover, particular attention has been given to the snow compaction. The model has been validated against field measurements in off-line experiments. The model has been implemented into IAP GCM and 100-year control run was conducted. 50. Please provide references relevant to the model description and use.
