Acomplete list of the input fields for the LSSs is given in Tables S1–S3. The derivation of the meteorological forcing data listed in Table S3 is described here. A complete description of the forcing data is given in Zhao and Dirmeyer (2003). Here we present a summary to acquaint the reader with the process of hybridization of observational and model (reanalysis) data that we have used, and to point out issues that may ultimately bear on the Second Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP-2) analysis. All GSWP-2 models were run on the land grid points of the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) Initiative II 1 grid. The 3-hourly near-surface meteorological data from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)/Department of Energy (DOE) reanalysis (Kanamitsu et al. 2002) was regridded for ISLSCP Initiative II. To coregister the T62 (Gaussian grid) resolution (192× 94 grid boxes globally) NCEP/DOE reanalysis on the ISLSCP 1 grid, the reanalysis dataset was regridded as consistently as possible with the land–sea mask definitions of each grid. The NCEP/DOE land–sea mask and the ISLSCP land–sea mask are used to ensure that land points are transformed into land points and sea points are used for sea points. For every grid box on the target ISLSCP grid, there are either one, two, or four overlapping grid boxes of the input NCEP/DOE grid; only those points are selected that are of the same type as the target grid point (sea for sea and land for land). All intersecting grid boxes of the same type are used to perform a bilinear interpolation of the data. If none of the intersecting grid boxes have the same type, they are all used for bilinear interpolation. This may occur at locations where, for instance, the ISLSCP mask has a lake, whereas the NCEP/DOE mask has only land points in the surroundings. In this case, the consistency between land–sea masks is lost. Figure S1 shows the consistency between the two masks. Grid boxes are shaded red where ISLSCP Initiative II has land but the overlapping NCEP/DOE grid has only water, and green shading indicates where ISLSCP Initiative II has water but NCEP/DOE has land.Precipitation. Global observational datasets of quantities such as precipitation are probably superior to reanalysis estimates of precipitation, but they are far from perfect. Incomplete gauge coverage, difficulty in collecting observational data, national variations in instruments and calibration, and problems with the instruments themselves can lead to very uneven coverage and quality of observational data. Oki et al.(1999) showed that in GSWP-1, runoff was systematically underestimated over high latitudes where snow is a significant contributor to annual precipitation. Motoya et al.(2002) have examined this
