Summary
The prediction of surface temperature and moisture over continents is an important problem in climate simulation. The paper describes the development of an economic two-layer soil model. Special emphasis has been given to a proper simulation of the diurnal and the annual period. Moreover, the model permits a gross representation of the effects of different soil types and vegetation coverings.
