Abstract
The paper investigates the sensitivity of evapotranspiration in the INM RAS–MSU land surface model to the changes in the weights of land surface classes in the cells of the latitude-longitude grid and the leaf area index LAI. It is demonstrated that the refinement of the values of the mentioned parameters based on modern observational data significantly reduces an error in evapotranspiration. The annual sum of evapotranspiration averaged over 10 years (2002–2012) from the surface of medium-sized (2−50×103 km2) watersheds of northern European Russia is used for the analysis. The model error has been calculated against the empirical estimates of evapotranspiration obtained from the watershed water balance equation. As an intermediate task, the accuracy of satellite data on terrestrial water storage used in the calculations is assessed by the comparison with the data of snow route surveys.
