Model outputs-Improvements in the Land and Crop Modeling over Flooded Rice Fields by Incorporating the Shallow Paddy Water

We incorporated the shallow paddy surface water layer into the Noah-MP land surface model to improve its performance of surface heat fluxes over flooded rice paddies. Field measurements from two crop sites, i.e., SAITO (early rice) and SAGA (late rice), were used to initialize and evaluate the modified Noah-MP model. Additionally, we investigated the roles of some key parameters in the land and crop modeling. The related model simulations were included in this dataset.
