Use of agricultural statistics to verify the interannual variability in land surface models: a case study over France with ISBA-A-gs

In order to verify the interannual variability of the above-ground biomass of herbaceous vegetation simulated by the ISBA-A-gs land surface model, within the SURFEX modelling platform, French agricultural statistics for C3 crops and grasslands were compared with the simulations for the 1994–2008...
