RUC water surfaces

Posted By: Kevin Fuell - COMET

Could you refer me to papers or web sites that talk about how the RUC handles water surfaces? Specifically, I'm looking for things that describe:

How water grid points/boxes are determined and what data set is used for orography?
What SST values are used?
Any interactions with ocean models?
What determines the albedo of water surfaces, as well as sea and lake ice?
What is the influence on other schemes?
