Sensitivity of Climate to Changes in NDVI

Source: Journal of Climate:;2000:;volume( 013 ):;issue: 013:;page 2277

Author(s): Bounoua, L.; Collatz, G. J.; Los, S. O.; Sellers, P. J.; Dazlich, D. A.; Tucker, C. J.; Randall, D. A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

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 ...

A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part I: Model Formulation

Source: Journal of Climate:;1996:;volume( 009 ):;issue: 004:;page 676

Author(s): Sellers, P.J.; Randall, D.A.; Collatz, G.J.; Berry, J.A.; Field, C.B.; Dazlich, D.A.; Zhang, C.; Collelo, G.D.; Bounoua, L.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

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 ...

A Global 9-yr Biophysical Land Surface Dataset from NOAA AVHRR Data

Source: Journal of Hydrometeorology:;2000:;Volume( 001 ):;issue: 002:;page 183

Author(s): Los, S. O.; Pollack, N. H.; Parris, M. T.; Collatz, G. J.; Tucker, C. J.; Sellers, P. J.; Malmström, C. M.; DeFries, R. S.; Bounoua, L.; Dazlich, D. A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

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 ...

A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for GCMS. Part III: The Greening of the Colorado State University General Circulation Model

Source: Journal of Climate:;1996:;volume( 009 ):;issue: 004:;page 738

Author(s): Randall, D.A.; Dazlich, D.A.; Zhang, C.; Denning, A.S.; Sellers, P.J.; Tucker, C.J.; Bounoua, L.; Berry, J.A.; Collatz, G.J.; Field, C.B.; Los, S.O.; Justice, C.O.; Fung, I.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

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 ...

The ISLSCP Initiative I Global Datasets: Surface Boundary Conditions and Atmospheric Forcings for Land-Atmosphere Studies

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;1996:;volume( 077 ):;issue: 009:;page 1987

Author(s): Sellers, P. J.; Meeson, B. W.; Closs, J.; Collatz, J.; Corprew, F.; Dazlich, D.; Hall, F. G.; Kerr, Y.; Koster, R.; Los, S.; Mitchell, K.; McManus, J.; Myers, D.; Sun, K-J.; Try, P.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A comprehensive series of global datasets for land-atmosphere models has been collected, formatted to a common grid, and released on a set of CD-ROMS. This paper describes the motivation for and the, contents of the dataset. ...

Interactions between Vegetation and Climate: Radiative and Physiological Effects of Doubled Atmospheric CO2

Source: Journal of Climate:;1999:;volume( 012 ):;issue: 002:;page 309

Author(s): Bounoua, L.; Collatz, G. J.; Sellers, P. J.; Randall, D. A.; Dazlich, D. A.; Los, S. O.; Berry, J. A.; Fung, I.; Tucker, C. J.; Field, C. B.; Jensen, T. G.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

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 ...
