Cold climates, complex hydrology: can a land surface model accurately simulate deep percolation? by A. Amani, M.-A. Boucher, A. R. Cabral, V. Vionnet, É. Gaborit

“…SVS performs well in the daily snow depth simulation, with a correlation coefficient (<span class="inline-formula"><i>r</i></span>) greater than 0.94 and a mean bias error (MBE) smaller than 3.0 cm for most of the simulation period. The newly implemented soil-freezing scheme simulates the near-surface soil temperature reasonably well (<span class="inline-formula"><i>r</i></span>: 0.89), with a slight cold bias (MBE: <span class="inline-formula">−0.8</span> °C). …”
