RISSoil Moisture–Evapotranspiration Coupling in CMIP5 Models: Relationship with Simulated Climate and Projections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSoil moisture?atmosphere coupling is a key process underlying climate variability and change over land. The control of soil moisture (SM) on evapotranspiration (ET) is a necessary condition for soil moisture to ...
Evapotranspiration Partitioning in CMIP5 Models: Uncertainties and Future Projections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEvapotranspiration (ET) is a key process affecting terrestrial hydroclimate, as it modulates the land surface carbon, energy, and water budgets. Evapotranspiration mainly consists of the sum of three components: ...
Weather-Index Drought Insurance in Burkina-Faso: Assessment of Its Potential Interest to Farmers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By using a detailed agricultural and climate dataset over Burkina-Faso and simple assumptions regarding the form of an insurance contract, the authors investigate the potential economic efficiency for farmers of a weather-index ...
Surface Flux Equilibrium Estimates of Evapotranspiration at Large Spatial Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Impact of Soil Moisture–Atmosphere Interactions on Surface Temperature Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nderstanding how different physical processes can shape the probability distribution function (PDF) of surface temperature, in particular the tails of the distribution, is essential for the attribution and projection of ...
Precipitation Sensitivity to Surface Heat Fluxes over North America in Reanalysis and Model Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new methodology for assessing the impact of surface heat fluxes on precipitation is applied to data from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) and to output from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory?s Atmospheric ...
Metrics for the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation: Toward Routine Benchmarks for Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etrics are proposed?that is, a few summary statistics that condense large amounts of data from observations or model simulations?encapsulating the diurnal cycle of precipitation. Vector area averaging of Fourier amplitude ...
Role of Moisture Transport and Recycling in Characterizing Droughts: Perspectives from Two Recent U.S. Droughts and the CFSv2 System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We investigate the role of moisture transport and recycling in characterizing two recent drought events in Texas (2011) and the Upper Midwest (2012) by analyzing the precipitation, evapotranspiration, precipitable water, ...
Interannual Coupling between Summertime Surface Temperature and Precipitation over Land: Processes and Implications for Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idespread negative correlations between summertime-mean temperatures and precipitation over land regions are a well-known feature of terrestrial climate. This behavior has generally been interpreted in the context of soil ...
Land–Atmosphere Interactions: The LoCo Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLand?atmosphere (L-A) interactions are a main driver of Earth?s surface water and energy budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation, and can influence the persistence ...
