Convective Planetary Boundary Layer Interactions with the Land Surface at Diurnal Time Scales: Diagnostics and Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The convective planetary boundary layer (PBL) integrates surface fluxes and conditions over regional and diurnal scales. As a result, the structure and evolution of the PBL contains information directly related to land ...
Automated Quality Control of In Situ Soil Moisture from the North American Soil Moisture Database Using NLDAS-2 Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he North American Soil Moisture Database (NASMD) was initiated in 2011 to provide support for developing climate forecasting tools, calibrating land surface models, and validating satellite-derived soil moisture algorithms. ...
Assessing Impacts of Integrating MODIS Vegetation Data in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model Coupled to Two Different Canopy-Resistance Approaches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impact of 8-day-averaged data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor?namely, the 1-km leaf area index, absorbed photosynthetic radiation, and land-use data?is investigated for use in the ...
Noah LSM Snow Model Diagnostics and Enhancements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A negative snow water equivalent (SWE) bias in the snow model of the Noah land surface scheme used in the NCEP suite of numerical weather and climate prediction models has been noted by several investigators. This bias ...
Regional Model Simulations of the 2008 Drought in Southern South America Using a Consistent Set of Land Surface Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work discusses the land surface?atmosphere interactions during the severe drought of 2008 in southern South America, which was among the most severe in the last 50 years in terms of both intensity and extent. Once ...
Comparison of NLDAS-2 Simulated and NASMD Observed Daily Soil Moisture. Part I: Comparison and Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil moisture observations from seven observational networks (spanning portions of seven states) with different biome and climate conditions were used in this study to evaluate multimodel simulated soil moisture products. ...
Comparison of NLDAS-2 Simulated and NASMD Observed Daily Soil Moisture. Part II: Impact of Soil Texture Classification and Vegetation Type Mismatches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this second part of a two-part paper, the impacts of soil texture and vegetation type misclassification and their combined effect on soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and total runoff simulation are investigated using ...
Model Representation of Freezing and Melting Precipitation: Implications for Winter Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During episodes of sustained moderate or heavy precipitation in conjunction with near-freezing temperatures and weak horizontal temperature advection, the latent heat released (absorbed) by the freezing (melting) of falling ...
An Examination of Meteorological and Soil Moisture Conditions in the Babocomari River Basin before the Flood Event of 2008
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Hydrometeorology Testbed (HMT) program has deployed a soil moisture observing network in the Babocomari River basin located in southeastern Arizona. The Babocomari River is a major tributary of the San Pedro River. ...
