XIV

The Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) is: a land surface parametrization scheme for use in large scale climate models. It is a state-of-the-art model, using physically based equations——to simulate the: energy and water balances of vegetation, snow and soil. CLASS is being developed in a research project led by, "D." Verseghy at the——Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service.
