Quantifying the Added Value of Snow Cover Area Observations in Passive Microwave Snow Depth Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate determination of snow conditions is important for several water management applications, partly because of the significant influence of snowmelt on seasonal streamflow prediction. This article examines an approach ...
Parameter Sensitivity of the Noah-MP Land Surface Model with Dynamic Vegetation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Abstract The Noah land surface model with multiple parameterization options (Noah-MP) includes a routine for the dynamic simulation of vegetation carbon assimilation and soil carbon decomposition processes. To use remote ...
Satellite-Scale Snow Water Equivalent Assimilation into a High-Resolution Land Surface Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four methods based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) are tested to assimilate coarse-scale (25 km) snow water equivalent (SWE) observations (typical of passive microwave satellite retrievals) into finescale (1 km) land ...
Assimilation of Remotely Sensed Soil Moisture and Snow Depth Retrievals for Drought Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he accurate knowledge of soil moisture and snow conditions is important for the skillful characterization of agricultural and hydrologic droughts, which are defined as deficits of soil moisture and streamflow, respectively. ...
Assimilation of Gridded GRACE Terrestrial Water Storage Estimates in the North American Land Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) is to provide best-available estimates of near-surface meteorological conditions and soil hydrological status for the continental United States. To ...
Better Advance Warnings of Drought: A New NASA Hydrological Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
NCA-LDAS: Overview and Analysis of Hydrologic Trends for the National Climate Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTerrestrial hydrologic trends over the conterminous United States are estimated for 1980?2015 using the National Climate Assessment Land Data Assimilation System (NCA-LDAS) reanalysis. NCA-LDAS employs the uncoupled ...
