Abstract: ong-term, global offline (land only) simulations with a dynamic vegetation phenology model are used to examine the control of hydroclimate over vegetation-related quantities. First, with a control simulation, the model is ...

Abstract: The degree to which the interannual variability of vegetation phenology affects hydrological fluxes over land is investigated through a series of simulations with the Mosaic land surface model, run both offline and coupled ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of global and regional climate to changes in vegetation density is investigated using a coupled biosphere?atmosphere model. The magnitude of the vegetation changes and their spatial distribution are based ...

Abstract: The formulation of a revised land surface parameterization for use within atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) is presented. The model (SiB2) incorporates several significant improvements over the first version ...

Abstract: Global, monthly, 1° by 1° biophysical land surface datasets for 1982?90 were derived from data collected by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) on board the NOAA-7, -9, and -11 satellites. The AVHRR data ...

Abstract: SiB2, the second-generation land-surface parameterization developed by Sellers et al., has been incorporated into the Colorado State University general circulation model and tested in multidecade simulation. The control ...

Abstract: The radiative and physiological effects of doubled atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on climate are investigated using a coupled biosphere?atmosphere model. Five 30-yr climate simulations, designed to assess the radiative ...
