Objective
TO STUDY THE SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF LAND SURFACE PROCESSES.
THE PROJECT INVOLVES FOUR MAIN COMPONENTS:
A) THE STUDY OF THE ROLE OF SOIL MOISTURE IN LAND SURFACE PROCESSES AT VARIOUS SCALES, FROM THE POINT SCALE OF SOIL PHYSICS TO THE GLOBAL SCALE OF GENERAL CIRCULATION MODELS;
B) THE COMPARISON OF THE FEASIBILITY AND RELIABILITY OF VARIOUS MACRO-SCALE MODELS OF LAND SURFACE PROCESSES INVOLVING VARYING DEGREES OF PARAMETERISATION OF SMALLER SCALE PROCESSES;
C) AN EXAMINATION OF THE DIRECT USE OF REMOTELY SENSED SOIL MOISTURE PARAMETERS IN CLIMATE MODELS;
D) ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESULTS FOR DESERTIFICATION AND RELATED PROBLEMS IN EUROPE.
OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT IS:
DEVELOPMENT OF A VERY FAST ALGORITHM FOR THE SOLUTION OF THE NON-LINEAR PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF MOISTURE AND HEAT FLOW IN A SOIL COLUMN SUBJECT TO DIRICHLET AND NEUMANN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
