Abstract: To facilitate the study of flux heterogeneity within a region, the authors have designed and field-tested a portable eddy covariance system to measure exchange of CO2, water vapor, and energy between the land surface and ...

Abstract: The Simple Biosphere Model, version 2 (SiB2), was designed for use within atmospheric general circulation models as a soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer scheme that includes CO2 flux prediction. A stand-alone version of ...

Abstract: The formulation of a revised land surface parameterization for use within atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) is presented. The model (SiB2) incorporates several significant improvements over the first version ...

Abstract: SiB2, the second-generation land-surface parameterization developed by Sellers et al., has been incorporated into the Colorado State University general circulation model and tested in multidecade simulation. The control ...

Abstract: The radiative and physiological effects of doubled atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on climate are investigated using a coupled biosphere?atmosphere model. Five 30-yr climate simulations, designed to assess the radiative ...
