A Neural Network Classification Framework for Monthly and High Spatial Resolution Surface Water Mapping in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau from Landsat Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Evaluation of CMIP5 Earth System Models for the Spatial Patterns of Biomass and Soil Carbon Turnover Times and Their Linkage with Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractEarth system models (ESMs) from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) were diagnosed as having large discrepancies in their land carbon turnover times, which partly explains the differences ...
Hot European Summers and the Role of Soil Moisture in the Propagation of Mediterranean Drought
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drought in spring and early summer has been shown to precede anomalous hot summer temperature. In particular, drought in the Mediterranean region has been recently shown to precede and to contribute to the development of ...
Seasonal Responses of Terrestrial Carbon Cycle to Climate Variations in CMIP5 Models: Evaluation and Projection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSeventeen Earth system models (ESMs) from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) were evaluated, focusing on the seasonal sensitivities of net biome production (NBP), net primary production ...
Including Croplands in a Global Biosphere Model: Methodology and Evaluation at Specific Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is a strong international demand for quantitative estimates of both carbon sources/sinks, and water availability at the land surface at various spatial scales (regional to global). These estimates can be derived (and ...
Recent Warming Has Resulted in Smaller Gains in Net Carbon Uptake in Northern High Latitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCarbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems in the northern high latitudes (NHL) is sensitive to climate change. It remains uncertain whether current regional carbon uptake capacity can be sustained under future ...
Modeling Potential Equilibrium States of Vegetation and Terrestrial Water Cycle of Mesoamerica under Climate Change Scenarios
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he likelihood and magnitude of the impacts of climate change on potential vegetation and the water cycle in Mesoamerica is evaluated. Mesoamerica is a global biodiversity hotspot with highly diverse topographic and climatic ...
New Insights on the Chemical Composition of the Siberian Air Shed from the YAK-AEROSIB Aircraft Campaigns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are very few large-scale observations of the chemical composition of the Siberian airshed. The Airborne Extensive Regional Observations in Siberia (YAK-AEROSIB) French?Russian research program aims to fill this gap ...
Impact of Earth Greening on the Terrestrial Water Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLeaf area index (LAI) is increasing throughout the globe, implying Earth greening. Global modeling studies support this contention, yet satellite observations and model simulations have never been directly compared. ...
Summer Temperature over the Tibetan Plateau Modulated by Atlantic Multidecadal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRapid warming has led to an aggregated environmental degradation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in the last few decades, including accelerated glacier retreat, early snowmelt, permafrost degradation, and forest fire ...
