Surface Water Storage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A surface water store has been added to the model to represent wetlands and small, sub-grid scale water bodies. As a result, the wetland land unit has been removed as of CLM4.5. The state variables for surface water are the mass of water :math:`W_{sfc}` (kg m\ :sup:`-2`) and temperature :math:`T_{h2osfc}` (Chapter :numref:`rst_Soil and Snow Temperatures`). Surface water storage and outflow are functions of fine spatial scale elevation variations called microtopography. The microtopography is assumed to be distributed normally around the grid cell mean elevation. Given the standard deviation of the microtopographic distribution, :math:`\sigma _{micro}` (m), the fractional area of the grid cell that is inundated can be calculated. Surface water storage, :math:`Wsfc`, is related to the height (relative to the grid cell mean elevation) of the surface water, :math:`d`, by

Runoff from glaciers and snow-capped surfaces
-------------------------------------------------

All surfaces are constrained to have a snow water equivalent :math:`W_{sno} \le W_{cap} = 10,000` kg m\ :sup:`-2`. For snow-capped columns, any addition of mass at the top (precipitation, dew/riping) is balanced by an equally large mass flux at the bottom of the snow column. This so-called capping flux is separated into solid :math:`q_{snwcp,ice}` \ and liquid :math:`q_{snwcp,liq}` runoff terms. The partitioning of these phases is based on the phase ratio in the bottom snow layer at the time of the capping, such that phase ratio in this layer is unaltered.

The :math:`q_{snwcp,ice}` runoff is sent to MOSART (Chapter :numref:`rst_MOSART`) where it is routed to the ocean as an ice stream and, if applicable, the ice is melted there.
