Aerodynamic and Radiative Controls on the Snow Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he snow surface temperature (SST) is essential for estimating longwave radiation fluxes from snow. SST can be diagnosed using finescale multilayer snow physics models that track changes in snow properties and internal ...
Variation in Surface Energetics during Snowmelt in a Subarctic Mountain Catchment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface energetics and snow ablation were examined during the 1999 snowmelt season in a mountain subarctic tundra valley in the Yukon Territory of Canada. Considerations of melt energetics at small scales were made with ...
Explicit Representation of Subgrid Heterogeneity in a GCM Land Surface Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A land surface scheme that may be run with or without a tiled representation of subgrid heterogeneity and includes an implicit atmospheric coupling scheme is described. Simulated average surface air temperatures and diurnal ...
