3.1 What is the land surface model (LSM) and version used in the forecast model, and what are the current/relevant references for the model?
     Are there any significant changes/deviations in the operational version of the LSM from the documentation of the LSM?
3.2 How is soil moisture initialized in the forecasts? (climatology / realistic / other) 
     If “realistic”, does the soil moisture come from an analysis using the same LSM as is coupled to the GCM for forecasts, or another source? Please describe the process of soil moisture initialization.
     Is there horizontal and/or vertical interpolation of initialization data onto the forecast model grid? If so, please give original data resolution(s). 
     Does the LSM differentiate between liquid and ice content of the soil? If so, how are each initialized?
      If all model soil layers are not initialized in the same way or from the same source, please describe. 
3.3 How is snow initialized in the forecasts? (climatology / realistic / other) 
     If “realistic”, does the snow come from an analysis using the same LSM as is coupled to the GCM for forecasts, or another source? Please describe the process of soil moisture initialization. 
      Is there horizontal and/or vertical interpolation of data onto the forecast model grid? If so, please give original data resolution(s) 
      Are snow mass, snow depth or both initialized? What about snow age, albedo, or other snow properties? 
3.4. How is soil temperature initialized in the forecasts? (climatology / realistic / other) 
     If “realistic”, does the soil moisture come from an analysis using the same LSM as is coupled to the GCM for forecasts, or another source? Please describe the process of soil moisture initialization.
     Is the soil temperature initialized consistently with soil moisture (frozen soil water where soil temperature ≤0°C) and snow cover (top layer soil temperature ≤0°C under snow)?
     Is there horizontal and/or vertical interpolation of data onto the forecast model grid? If so, please give original data resolution(s) 
     If all model soil layers are not initialized in the same way or from the same source, please describe. 
3.5. How are time-varying vegetation properties represented in the LSM? 
3.6. What is the source of soil properties (texture, porosity, conductivity, etc.) used by the LSM?
