Land-Surface
Models (LSMs) exhibit large spread and uncertainties in the way they partition
precipitation into surface runoff, drainage,
transpiration and bare soil evaporation.
To explore to
what extent water isotope measurements could help evaluate the simulation of
the soil water budget in LSMs, water stable isotopes have been implemented in
the ORCHIDEE (ORganizing Carbon and Hydrology In Dynamic EcosystEms: the
land-surface model) LSM.
This article
presents this implementation and the evaluation of simulations both in a
stand-alone mode and coupled with an atmospheric general circulation model.
