Capturing finer-scale topographic differences improves the ability of Earth system models to reproduce observations

Spatial pattern of number of topographic units (TGU) per 0.5 degree grid. We demonstrate the ability of a terrain-based subgrid structure to capture terrain heterogeneity across a mountainous region and associated data that is a measure of the computational efficiency of the data reduction metric (DRM). We define a variable number of TGUs per grid in conjunction with the allocation…
