A Series of Test Cases for SUMMA

There are two classes of test cases :

1. TEST CASES BASED ON SYNTHETIC OR LAB DATA

- Synthetic Test Case 1: Simulations from Celia (Water Resources Research 1990)
- Synthetic Test Case 2: Simulations from Miller (Water Resources Research 1998)
- Synthetic Test Case 3: Simulations of the lab experiment of Mizoguchi (1990) as described by Hansson et al. (Vadose Zone Journal 2005)
- Synthetic Test Case 4: Simulations of rain on a sloping hillslope from Wigmosta (Water Resources Research 1999)

2. TEST CASES BASED ON FIELD DATA, AS DESCRIBED IN THE SUMMA PAPERS (CLARK ET AL., WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH 2015)

- Field Data Test Case 1: Radiation transmission through an Aspen stand, Reynolds Mountain East
- Field Data Test Case 2: Wind attenuation through an Aspen stand, Reynolds Mountain East
- Field Data Test Case 3: Impacts of canopy wind profile on surface fluxes, surface temperature, and snowmelt (Aspen stand, Reynolds Mountain East)
- Field Data Test Case 4: Form of different interception capacity parameterizations (no model simulations conducted/needed)
- Field Data Test Case 5: Snow interception at Umpqua
- Field Data Test Case 6: Sensitivity to snow albedo representations at Reynolds MountainEast and Senator Beck
- Field Data Test Case 7: Sensitivity of ET to the stomatal resistance parameterization (Aspen stand at Reynolds Mountain East)
- Field Data Test Case 8: Sensitivity of ET to the root distribution and the baseflow parameterization (Aspen stand at Reynolds Mountain East)
- Field Data Test Case 9: Simulations of runoff using different baseflow parameterizations (Reynolds Mountain East)
