Amazon Forest Radiation Budget from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The top-of-the-atmosphere net radiation is determined over the Ducke Reserve Forest site, Manaus, Brazil (2°57 S, 59°57 W), from GOES-7 visible and infrared data during the 1987 wet season (April?May), for 0900 and 1500 ...
Retrieving the Root-Zone Soil Moisture from Surface Soil Moisture or Temperature Estimates: A Feasibility Study Based on Field Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The bulk soil water content must be estimated accurately for short- and medium-term meteorological modeling. A method is proposed to retrieve the total soil moisture content as well as the field capacity from observed ...
Impacts of the Soil Water Transfer Parameterization on the Simulation of Evapotranspiration over a 14-Year Mediterranean Crop Succession
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a comparison of two water transfer schemes implemented in land surface models: a three-layer bulk reservoir model based on the force?restore scheme (FR) and a multilayer soil diffusion scheme ...
Incoming Solar and Infrared Radiation Derived from METEOSAT: Impact on the Modeled Land Water and Energy Budget over France
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Land Surface Analysis Satellite Applications Facility (LSA SAF) project radiation fluxes, derived from the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) geostationary satellite, were used in the Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, ...
An Overview of European Efforts in Generating Climate Data Records
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Coordinating Earth Observation Data Validation for Reanalysis for Climate Services project (CORE-CLIMAX) aimed to substantiate how Copernicus observations and products can contribute to climate change analyses. ...
Med-CORDEX Initiative for Mediterranean Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change ?hotspots? of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex ...
