Short summary
Tropical land surface processes shape the Earth's climate, but models often lack accuracy in the tropics due to limited data for validation. We improved the Noah with Multi-Parameterizations (Noah-MP) land surface model for the tropics using data from forests in Panama and Malaysia. Calibration enhanced simulations of energy and water fluxes, and revealed key vegetation and soil parameters, as well as future directions for model improvement in tropical regions.
