CLM4 • Evolved from CLM3.5 (released in 2008). CLM3.5
improves over CLM3 (released in 2004) Surface runoff (Niu, Yang et al., 2005) Groundwater (Niu, Yang, et al., 2007) Frozen soil (Niu and Yang, 2006) Canopy integration, canopy interception scaling, and pft-dependency
of the soil stress function
• CLM4 (released in 2010) improves over CLM3.5 Prognostic in carbon and nitrogen (CN) as well as vegetation
phenology; the dynamic global vegetation model is merged with CN Transient landcover and land use change capability Urban component BVOC component (MEGAN2) Dust emissions Updated hydrology and ground evaporation New density-based snow cover fraction, snow burial fraction, snow
compaction Improved permafrost scheme: organic soils, 50-m depth (5 bedrock
layers) Conserving global energy by separating river discharge into liquid
and ice water streams

Model Validation • Local scale (comparison with flux tower data)
• Regional scale (comparison with satellite and other gridded datasets)
• Global scale (comparison with satellite and other gridded datasets)
• Offline model evaluations (standalone, detached from the host atmospheric model): useful to assess the realism of LSMs (evaluation, calibration, validation), assess sensitivity (to forcing, parameters, and LULCC), improve parameterizations, provide initial (soil moisture) data for coupled runs. and develop new methods
• Coupled model evaluations (comprehensive): useful to study land–atmosphere interactions and feedbacks (e.g. soil moisture-precipitation coupling strength, predictability, carbon-nitrogen-climate feedbacks), evaluate sensitivity to perturbations (e.g., land use and land cover change), and sort out cause–effects
