My research experience is based in the use of weather forecast models and the LSM (Land Sea Models) coupled to them. I use a groundwater parameterization and study the influence of groundwater dynamics in the LSM behaviour for climatic simulations. I focus in the soil moisture fields spatio-time estructures, the memory that the groundwater reservoir introduce into the soil moisture (it may buffer drought effects), the influence on rver discharge and the land-atmosphere fluxes (evapotranspiration is enhanced when the groundwater dynamics are taken into account on climatic simulations).
