  abstract = {{T}he existing {SE}t{H}y{S} {SVAT} model was developed further to model heat and water fluxes over savannah landscapes with the final objective to use remote sensing for regionalization and monitoring at larger scale. {T}his new development incorporates two vegetation layers (low and high covers) above the soil. {T}he transfer of soil water was revised in order to improve the simulated hydrology over {S}ahelian and semi-arid regions, by incorporating a mulch representation in a three-layer soil scheme. {T}he two versions of the model, original and modified, have been compared at local scale over two instrumented local sites of the {AMMA}-{N}iger supersite: a fallow and a millet field equipped with surface flux, soil moisture and vegetation measurements. {A}fter calibration of the model parameters using the {M}ultiobjective {C}alibration {I}terative {P}rocess ({MCIP}) methodology on the 2005 dataset, the simulations of the two versions of {SE}t{H}y{S} were compared to observations over 2006. {S}ignificant differences were found between the simulations, and a better agreement with in situ measurements was observed for the new model. {T}hese differences are discussed in relation to the parameterizations of the hydrological and vegetation processes.},
