The CSIRO Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) model for use in climate models and as an offline model

Over the past twenty years, land surface models have developed from simple schemes to more complex representations of soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions, allowing for linkages between terrestrial microclimate, plant physiology and hydrology. This evolution has been facilitated by advances in plant physiology and the availability of global fields of land surface parameters obtained from remote sensing. The CSIRO Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) model presented here calculates carbon, water and heat exchanges between the land surface and atmosphere and is suitable for use in climate models and in the form of a one-dimensional stand-alone model. We provide a full description of CABLE and examples of offline and online simulations for selected sites. Online simulations are performed with CABLE coupled to the CSIRO Conformal-Cubic Atmospheric Model (C-CAM). The model version presented here represents the first phase of a longer-term plan to improve the land surface schemes in the CSIRO and the Australian Community Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) global circulation models. This report is intended for users and future developers of CABLE.
