RISEnhancement of Evaporation from a Large Northern Lake by the Entrainment of Warm, Dry Air
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The turbulent exchange of water vapor and heat were measured above Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, Canada, using the eddy covariance method for most of the ice-free period in 1997, 1998, and 1999. In all years, ...
Concerning the Measurement and Magnitude of Heat, Water Vapor, and Carbon Dioxide Exchange from a Semiarid Grassland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Grassland environments constitute approximately 40% of the earth?s vegetated surface, and they play a key role in a number of processes linking the land surface with the atmosphere. To investigate these linkages, a variety ...
Interannual and Seasonal Variability of the Surface Energy Balance and Temperature of Central Great Slave Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper addresses interannual and seasonal variability in the thermal regime and surface energy fluxes in central Great Slave Lake during three contiguous open-water periods, two of which overlap the Canadian Global ...
Over-Lake Meteorology and Estimated Bulk Heat Exchange of Great Slave Lake in 1998 and 1999
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meteorological and thermistor moorings were deployed in Great Slave Lake during the Canadian Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Enhanced Study (CAGES) in 1998 and 1999. Large-scale meteorology included influence ...
Variability in the Environmental Factors Driving Evapotranspiration from a Grazed Rangeland during Severe Drought Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nearly one-half of the earth?s terrestrial surface is susceptible to drought, which can have significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. Therefore, it is important to develop better descriptions and models of ...
Predicting the Net Basin Supply to the Great Lakes with a Hydrometeorological Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he paper presents the incremental improvement of the prediction of the Great Lakes net basin supply (NBS) with the hydrometeorological model Modélisation Environmentale?Surface et Hydrologie (MESH) by increasing the accuracy ...
Surface Energy Balance of the Western and Central Canadian Subarctic: Variations in the Energy Balance among Five Major Terrain Types
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the surface energy balance of 10 sites in the western and central Canadian subarctic is examined. Each research site is classified into one of five terrain types (lake, wetland, shrub tundra, upland tundra, ...
An Investigation of the Thermal and Energy Balance Regimes of Great Slave and Great Bear Lakes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake have large surface areas, water volumes, and high latitudinal positions; are cold and deep; and are subject to short daylight periods in winter and long ones in summer. They are dissimilar ...
NCAR/CU Surface, Soil, and Vegetation Observations during the International H2O Project 2002 Field Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The May?June 2002 International H2O Project was held in the U.S. Southern Great Plains to determine ways that moisture data could be collected and utilized in numerical forecast models most effectively. We describe the ...
Estimation of the Minimum Canopy Resistance for Croplands and Grasslands Using Data from the 2002 International H2O Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vegetated surfaces, such as grasslands and croplands, constitute a significant portion of the earth?s surface and play an important role in land?atmosphere exchange processes. This study focuses on one important parameter ...
