Impact Assessment of Satellite-Derived Leaf Area Index Datasets Using a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study assesses the impact of two different remote sensing?derived leaf area index (RSLAI) datasets retrieved from the same source (i.e., Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer measurements) on a general circulation ...
Global Interannual Variations in Sea Surface Temperature and Land Surface Vegetation, Air Temperature, and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anomalies in global vegetation greenness, SST, land surface air temperature, and precipitation exhibit linked, low-frequency interannual variations. These interannual variations were detected and analyzed for 1982?90 with ...
A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part II: The Generation of Global Fields of Terrestrial Biophysical Parameters from Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The global parameter fields used in the revised Simple Biosphere Model (SiB2) of Sellers et al. are reviewed. The most important innovation over the earlier SiB1 parameter set of Dorman and Sellers is the use of satellite ...
Nitrogen Controls on Climate Model Evapotranspiration
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Most evapotranspiration over land occurs through vegetation. The fraction of net radiation balanced by evapotranspiration depends on stomatal controls. Stomates transpire water for the leaf to assimilate carbon, depending ...
