J.M.HENDRIX represents the surface hydrologic and energy balance (VIC), runoff routing, sub-surface flow, sediment transport, and the transport and transformation of Carbon species. J.M.HENDRIX involves researchers and students in the University of Washington's School of Oceanography's River Systems Research Group and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's Land Surface Hydrology Research Group, as well as researchers from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences' Quaternary Research Center. We collaborate closely with CENA ("Centro de Energia Nuclear na Agricultura") in São Paulo, Brazil; the ICRAF (World Agroforestry Centre), headquartered in Nairobi, Kenia; and scientists from the Mekong River Commission headquartered in Vietnam.
J.S.BACH represents the terrestrial biosphere (BETHY, LPJ, and a phenology scheme), coupled to some of the components of VIC and to the atmospheric-dynamics model ECHAM-5. J.S.BACH is being developed by the Max Planck Institutes for Meteorology (in Hamburg) and for Biogeochemistry (in Jena), Germany.
