Abstract: The effects of historical land-use changes on the Swiss Plateau on the near-surface atmospheric conditions of typical summer days in July were investigated in a case study. A mesoscale dynamical nonhydrostatic model with ...

Abstract: A land surface model including cloud (fog) water deposition on vegetation was developed to better predict the heat and water exchanges between the biosphere and atmosphere. A new scheme to calculate cloud water deposition ...

Abstract: Biome differences in surface energy balance strongly affect climate. However, arctic vegetation is considered sufficiently uniform that only a single arctic land surface type is generally used in climate models. Field ...
