Long-Term Variability in a Coupled Atmosphere–Biosphere Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A fully coupled atmosphere?biosphere model, version 3 of the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM3) and the Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS), is used to illustrate how vegetation dynamics may be capable of producing ...

Abstract: wo different coupled climate?vegetation models, the Community Climate Model version 3 coupled to the Integrated Biosphere Simulator (CCM3?IBIS) and the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique?s climate model coupled to the ...
Mapping Surface Parameters for Mesoscale Modeling in Forested and Deforested Southwestern Amazonia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface parameter digital maps of vegetation, soil, and relief are obtained over Rondônia, Brazil, covering the 5° ? 5° region 8°?13°S, 65°?60°W. Numerical maps of the natural landscape structure have been achieved by ...
The AMMA Land Surface Model Intercomparison Project (ALMIP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rainfall over West Africa has been characterized by extreme variability in the last half-century, with prolonged droughts resulting in humanitarian crises. There is, therefore, an urgent need to better understand and ...
