Short summary
An artificial neural network was used to calculate the scaling quantities u* and T*. To train and test the network, a large set of worldwide observations was used. Extensive sensitivity studies showed that a relatively small 6–3–2 network with six input parameters and one hidden layer yields satisfying results. An implementation of this network in a stand-alone land surface model showed that the neural network gives results equivalent to and sometimes better than the standard implementation.
