RISLength Scale Analysis of Surface Energy Fluxes Derived from Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wavelet multiresolution analysis was used to examine the variation in dominant length scales determined from remotely sensed airborne- and satellite-derived surface energy flux data. The wavelet cospectra are computed ...
Energy Balance Partitioning and Net Radiation Controls on Soil Moisture–Precipitation Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of model runs using the University of Oklahoma?s Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) were conducted to investigate the relative impacts of energy balance partitioning and net radiation on soil moisture?pr ...
Investigation of Urban Air Temperature and Humidity Patterns during Extreme Heat Conditions Using Satellite-Derived Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtreme heat is a leading cause of weather-related human mortality. The urban heat island (UHI) can magnify heat exposure in metropolitan areas. This study investigates the ability of a new MODIS-retrieved near-surface air ...
Conversion of abandoned property to greenspace as a strategy to mitigate the urban heat island investigated with numerical simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Impervious surfaces and buildings in the urban environment alter the radiative balance and surface energy exchange and can lead to warmer temperatures known as the urban heat island (UHI), which can increase heat-related ...
