VIC can use either the approximate soil temperature profile of [Liang et al. (1999)](../Documentation/References.md#primary-historical-reference) or a finite difference solution that takes soil ice content into account, vis a vis [Cherkauer and Lettenmaier (1999)](../Documentation/References.md#primary-historical-reference).

## Dynamic Lake/Wetland Model
130130

131131
The lake/wetland model ([Bowling and Lettenmaier, 2010](../Documentation/References.md#primary-historical-reference)) handles the impoundment of surface water within a grid cell. Each grid cell is allowed to have a lake/wetland system contained within one of its landcover tiles. Here, a **_lake_** refers to any impounded surface water, including permanent lakes and seasonal flooding of vegetated land. The lake's area can vary with time as a function of storage and topography (bathymetry). In this context, **_wetland_** refers to the exposed portion of the landcover tile.
