This manuscript describes the energy and water
components of a new community land surface model called
the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES). This is
developed from the Met Office Surface Exchange Scheme
(MOSES). It can be used as a stand alone land surface model
driven by observed forcing data, or coupled to an atmospheric
global circulation model. The JULES model has
been coupled to the Met Office Unified Model (UM) and
as such provides a unique opportunity for the research community
to contribute their research to improve both worldleading
operational weather forecasting and climate change
prediction systems. In addition JULES, and its forerunner
MOSES, have been the basis for a number of very highprofile
papers concerning the land-surface and climate over
the last decade. JULES has a modular structure aligned to
physical processes, providing the basis for a flexible modelling
platform.
