These programs and databases are currently in research stage, and should be used with that caution.
These use data from a variety of sources,
including the LDAS
Project and the UMD Vegetation Classification, as well
as other sources.
LDAS Soil Parameter File and VIC Soil File Preparation Programs LDAS Vegetation Parameter File and VIC Vegetation Parameter File Preparation Programs LDAS Snowband Preparation Programs (currently set for 6 snowbands in output file) Please contact Ed
Maurer with any questions about these databases and programs.
In general, these should be run in the order above. The soil preparation program
needs only a list of latitudes and longitudes. The vegetation paramater and
snowband preparation programs reference the soil file.
