DESCRIPTION:Land surface processes are a key component of the climatic sys
 tem. The soil can be considered\na lower boundary condition for the atmosp
 here\, being a source term for the hydrological and\nenergy budgets in the
  atmospheric surface layer. In spite of the importance of the physical\nva
 riables involved in the determination of the soil surface properties and p
 henomena\, only in a\nfew cases extensive field campaigns were carried out
  to measure soil temperature and moisture\,\nor the turbulent  fluxes for 
 climatological periods. This lack of data makes difficult to evaluate\nthe
  surface energy and hydrological budgets for wide areas and over a long ti
 me. To avoid this\ndata deficiency\, we have developed the technique calle
 d CLIPS (CLImatology of Parameters at\nthe Surface)\, for which the parame
 ters describing thermal and hydrological state of the soil are\nestimated 
 using land surface model output as a surrogate of missing surface observat
 ions.\nDuring this presentation\, I will give a short description of the U
 niversity of Torino model of\nland Processes Interaction with Atmosphere (
 UTOPIA)\, which is a diagnostic one-dimensional\nmodel able to estimate th
 e physical  fluxes and hydrologic states of the land. Subsequently\, I\nwi
 ll present the application of a crop model named IVINE (Italian Vineyard I
 ntegrated\nNumerical model for Estimating physiological values)\, develope
 d by our group\, to vineyards.\nAfter a short description of the experimen
 t setting\, I will present the preliminary results\nobtained by a long-ter
 m simulation carried out in the Piemonte wine region (Italy)\, in which\nt
 he influence of climate change appears evident.
