Deriving the Surface Soil Heat Flux from Observed Soil Temperature and Soil Heat Flux Profiles Using a Variational Data Assimilation Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel approach to infer surface soil heat fluxes from measured profiles of soil temperature, soil heat flux, and observations of the vegetation canopy temperature and the incoming shortwave radiation is evaluated for the ...
A Climatology of Nocturnal Low-Level Jets at Cabauw
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A climatology of nocturnal low-level jets (LLJs) is presented for the topographically flat measurement site at Cabauw, the Netherlands. LLJ characteristics are derived from a 7-yr half-hourly database of wind speed profiles, ...
A Thermodynamically Based Model for Actual Evapotranspiration of an Extensive Grass Field Close to FAO Reference, Suitable for Remote Sensing Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: thermodynamically based model is presented to estimate daily actual evapotranspiration (ET) of a grass site closely resembling reference grass as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) ...
Ground-Based Observations and Modeling of the Visibility and Radar Reflectivity in a Radiation Fog Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he development of a radiation fog layer at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research (51.97°N, 4.93°E) on 23 March 2011 was observed with ground-based in situ and remote sensing observations to investigate the ...
A Conceptual View on Inertial Oscillations and Nocturnal Low-Level Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present work Blackadar?s concept of nocturnal inertial oscillations is extended. Blackadar?s concept describes frictionless inertial oscillations above the nocturnal inversion layer. The current work includes ...
Stable Atmospheric Boundary Layers and Diurnal Cycles: Challenges for Weather and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sentation of the atmospheric boundary layer is an important part of weather and climate models and impacts many applications such as air quality and wind energy. Over the years, the performance in modeling 2-m temperature ...
The Baltic Sea Experiment (BALTEX): A European Contribution to the Investigation of the Energy and Water Cycle over a Large Drainage Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Baltic Sea Experiment (BALTEX) is one of the five continental?scale experiments of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX). More than 50 research groups from 14 European countries are participating in this ...
