Precipitation Recycling: Moisture Sources over Europe using ERA-40 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric moisture within a region is supplied by both local evaporation and advected from external sources. The contribution of local evaporation in a region to the precipitation in the same region is defined as ...
The Effect of Forest on Mesoscale Rainfall: An Example from HAPEX-MOBILHY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A meso-?-scale model is used to model a frontal intrusion in southwest France during HAPEX-MOBILHY. The skill of the model to reproduce the observed variation in temperature, humidity, and wind speed over the domain is ...
The Pilot Phase of the Global Soil Wetness Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP) is an ongoing land surface modeling activity of the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP), a part of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment. The pilot ...
Exploring the Impact of Land Cover and Topography on Rainfall Maxima in the Netherlands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he relative contribution of topography and land use on precipitation is analyzed in this paper for a forested area in the Netherlands. This area has an average yearly precipitation sum that can be 75?100 mm higher than the ...
The CarboEurope Regional Experiment Strategy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quantification of sources and sinks of carbon at global and regional scales requires not only a good description of the land sources and sinks of carbon, but also of the synoptic and mesoscale meteorology. An experiment ...
