Overview of DALEC 1101 ====================== .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 **Overview of DALEC model** (Including new allocation) The DALEC model (Williams et al., 2005) is an intermediate complexity terrestrial land surface and biosphere model designed primarily for observation integration within model-data integration frameworks; DALEC models have been augmented since Williams et al., (2005) to include a number of processes, such as water storage (Spadavecchia et al., 2011; Bloom et al., 2020), aerobic and anaerobic respiration processes (Ma et al., 2023), climate-sensitive phenology (Norton et al., 2023), amongst other innovations. **Overview of DALEC 1101 model** The DALEC ID=1101 model cosnists of 14 prognostic states, with the following abbreviated differential equations ***Live C states*** :math:`\frac{dC_{lab}}{dt} = GPP - Ra_{dark} - Ra_{maint} - Ra_{gr} - PRD_{fol} - PRD_{roo} - PRD_{woo} - DEC_{lab} - DIS_{lab} - FIR_{lab} - FIRx_{lab}` :math:`\frac{dC_{fol}}{dt} = PRD_{fol} - DEC_{fol} - DECph_{fol} - FIR_{fol} - FIRx_{fol} - DIS_{fol}` :math:`\frac{dC_{roo}}{dt} = Alloc_roo - Mortality_roo - Disturbance_roo` :math:`\frac{dC_{woo}}{dt} = Alloc_woo - Mortality_woo - Disturbance_woo` ***Dead organic C states*** :math:`\frac{dC_{lit}}{dt} = Mortality_fol + Mortality_roo - Decomp_lit - Rhet_lit - Disturbance_lit` :math:`\frac{dC_{cwd}}{dt} = Mortality_woo - Decomp_cwd - Rhet_cwd- Disturbance_cwd` :math:`\frac{dC_{som}}{dt} = Decomp_cwd + Decomp_lit - Rhet_som - Disturbance_Som` ***Water states*** :math:`\frac{dW_{SWE}}{dt} = Snowfall - sublimation - melt` :math:`\frac{dW_{ly1}}{dt} = Infiltration - transpiration_LY1 - evaporation - LY1_LY2_exchange - runoff_LY1` :math:`\frac{dW_{ly2}}{dt} = transpiration_LY2 + LY1_LY2_exchange - LY2_LY3_exchange - runoff_LY2` :math:`\frac{dW_{ly3}}{dt} = LY2_LY3_exchange - runoff_LY3` ***Energy states*** [TO DO] All right-hand-side terms, and all associated subcomponents and process formulations, are reported in the individual tech note entries. .. **Forcing data** ..
