 All parts of the LSM code are modularized in module [/browser/palm/trunk/SOURCE/land_surface_model.f90 land_surface_model_mod]. In this context, a new Fortran NAMELIST {{{lsm_par}}} was added, containing all LSM-related steering parameters. The LSM is automatically activated when a {{{lsm_par}}} is set in the parameter file ({{{_p3d}}}). The user can easily set all relevant LSM parameters by choosing between 19 pre-defined [#veg_type vegetation types] and 7 different [#soil_type soil types]. The default setting of the LSM is a soil of medium porosity covered to 85% with short grass. It is also possible to modify the pre-defined vegetation/soil types by overwriting some of the parameters. Moreover it is possible to create user-defined vegetation and soil types from scratch.
 
-A minimum configuration of the LSM requires setting of the parameters [#soil_temperature soil_temperature] [#soil_type soil_type], and [#veg_type veg_type].
+A minimum configuration of the LSM requires setting of the parameters [#soil_type soil_type], and [#veg_type veg_type]. Setting of initial vertical profiles of [#soil_temperature soil_temperature] and [#soil_moisture soil_moisture] are recommened.
