  13. Conclusions Recent accuracy checks indicate that the LM-module TERRA satisfacto-rily simulates the soil moisture in large parts of the annual cycle when being exclusively driven by measurements. In order to finally assess the model’s ability for the given task the present stand-alone validations should also be extended to deeper soil layers. Besides the real data forcing the soil and external parameters have like-wise to be adapted to the real conditions if possible. Consequently, a revision of the widely used map of soil types in the LM-integration area is recommended by using all recent information available nowadays. For local case studies data sets of near-surface time-height cross sections of temperature, humidity (wind) are available in hourly time resolution. They are appropriate to sensitivity studies of turbulent processes, but also to watch other relevant boundary layer phenomena (e.g. fog, inversions).
