Figure 1a and b Different types of land surface that are considered in SiB

Figure 2 Definitions of heat, mass, and momentum fluxes

Figure 3The fluxes are related to measurable variables (like temperature or relative humidity) by use of a simple electrical resistance analog

Figure 4 A schematic depicting the various resistances for the atmosphere, plant canopy, ground cover plants, and soil

Figure 5 A detailed depiction of the plant stomates

Figure 6 Equations can be assembled that describe the exchanges among the atmosphere and plants

Figure 7 Equations can be assembled that describe the exchanges among the atmosphere and plants

Figure 8 The various classes of vegetation are given in Table 2
