In this study we have coupled land surface process model (SiBUC: Simple Biosphere Mode including Urban Canopy) into nonhydrostatic atmospheric model (ARPS: Advanced Regional Prediction System) developed by CAPS (Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms). Preliminary test simulation was carried out by ARPS-SiBUC coupled model and ARPS within and surrounding area of the Lake Biwa Basin during the intensified observation period of the Lake Biwa Project 2001. We compare the simulation results of the two models paying attention to the accuracy of the land surface flux and the local circulaton within the Lake Biwa Basin.
