Abstract: The article presents a study which describes the energy and water components of the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES). The community land surface model was developed from the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme (MOSES) in Great Britain. The JULES model has been coupled with the Unified Model (UM) to improve the weather forecasting and climate change prediction systems.
