RISCalibrating a Coupled SVAT–Vegetation Growth Model with Remotely Sensed Reflectance and Surface Temperature—A Case Study for the HAPEX-Sahel Grassland Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Models simulating the seasonal growth of vegetation have been recently coupled to soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer schemes (SVATS). Such coupled vegetation?SVATS models (V?S) account for changes of the vegetation leaf ...
Assimilation of Disaggregated Microwave Soil Moisture into a Hydrologic Model Using Coarse-Scale Meteorological Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-surface soil moisture retrieved from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS)-type data is downscaled and assimilated into a distributed soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) model with the ensemble Kalman filter. ...
Comparison of Large Aperture Scintillometer and Eddy Covariance Measurements: Can Thermal Infrared Data Be Used to Capture Footprint-Induced Differences?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eddy covariance (EC) and large aperture scintillometer (LAS) measurements were collected over an irrigated olive orchard near Marrakech, Morocco. The tall, sparse vegetation in the experimental site was relatively homogeneous, ...
Approaches for Averaging Surface Parameters and Fluxes over Heterogeneous Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Successful prediction of possible climate change depends on realistic parameterization of land surface processes in climate models. Such parameterizations must take appropriate account of the heterogeneities that are found ...
An Interdisciplinary Field Study of the Energy and Water Fluxes in the Atmospheric-Biosphere System over Semiarid Rangelands: Description and Some Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Arid and semiarid rangelands comprise a significant portion of the earth's land surface. Yet little is known about the effects of temporal and spatial changes in surface soil moisture on the hydrologic cycle, energy balance, ...
