This study tests the ability of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) to simulate sensible and latent heat fluxes over two subarctic tundra sites in the Trail Valley Creek (TVC) drainage basin, North West Territories, Canada. CLASS simulations with and without the new organic soil parameterisatio...
