RISRelations between Soil Moisture and Satellite Vegetation Indices in the U.S. Corn Belt
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-derived vegetation indices extracted over locations representative of midwestern U.S. cropland and forest for the period 1990?94 are analyzed to determine the sensitivity of the indices to neutron probe soil ...
Investigation of the Summer Climate of the Contiguous United States and Mexico Using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). Part I: Model Climatology (1950–2002)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fifty-three years of the NCEP?NCAR Reanalysis I are dynamically downscaled using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) to generate a regional climate model (RCM) climatology of the contiguous United States and ...
Simulation of St. Louis, Missouri, Land Use Impacts on Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A storm-resolving version of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System is executed over St. Louis, Missouri, on 8 June 1999, along with sophisticated boundary conditions, to simulate the urban atmosphere and its role in ...
Synoptic Circulation and Land Surface Influences on Convection in the Midwest U.S. “Corn Belt” during the Summers of 1999 and 2000. Part II: Role of Vegetation Boundaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I of this observational study inquiring into the relative influences of ?top down? synoptic atmospheric conditions and ?bottom up? land surface mesoscale conditions in deep convection for the humid lowlands of the ...
Synoptic Circulation and Land Surface Influences on Convection in the Midwest U.S. “Corn Belt” during the Summers of 1999 and 2000. Part I: Composite Synoptic Environments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Midwest U.S. Corn Belt, the 1999 and 2000 summer seasons (15 June?15 September) expressed contrasting spatial patterns and magnitudes of precipitation (1999: dry; 2000: normal to moist). Distinct from the numerical ...
Impact of Irrigation on Midsummer Surface Fluxes and Temperature under Dry Synoptic Conditions: A Regional Atmospheric Model Study of the U.S. High Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of irrigation on the surface energy budget in the U.S. high plains is investigated. Four 15-day simulations were conducted: one using a 1997 satellite-derived estimate of farmland acreage under irrigation in ...
Investigation of the Summer Climate of the Contiguous United States and Mexico Using the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS). Part II: Model Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Summer simulations over the contiguous United States and Mexico with the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) dynamically downscaling the NCEP?NCAR Reanalysis I for the period 1950?2002 (described in Part I of the ...
