RISThe Contribution to Tropical Rainfall with respect to Convective System Type, Size, and Intensity Estimated from the 85-GHz Ice-Scattering Signature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compiled a database of precipitating cloud clusters from 85-GHz data in 10 regions of the wet Tropics for a calendar year (November 1992?October 1993). The cloud clusters were grouped into four classes of basic ...
GRACE-Based Estimates of Terrestrial Freshwater Discharge from Basin to Continental Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, new estimates of monthly freshwater discharge from continents, drainage regions, and global land for the period of 2003?05 are presented. The method uses observed terrestrial water storage change estimates ...
An Efficient Approach to Modeling the Topographic Control of Surface Hydrology for Regional and Global Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current generation of land-surface models used in GCMs view the soil column as the fundamental hydrologic unit. While this may be effective in simulating such processes as the evolution of ground temperatures and the ...
Satellite- and Reanalysis-Based Mass Balance Estimates of Global Continental Discharge (1993–2015)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTotal continental freshwater discharge into the oceans is a key feature of the global water cycle, but it is currently impossible to observe using ground-based methods alone. To characterize the uncertainty across ...
The Sensitivity of West African Convective Line Water Budgets to Land Cover
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study used a two-dimensional coupled land?atmosphere (cloud resolving) model to investigate the influence of land cover on the water budgets of convective lines in West Africa. Study simulations used the same initial ...
Modeling Soil Moisture and Surface Flux Variability with an Untuned Land Surface Scheme: A Case Study from the Southern Great Plains 1997 Hydrology Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Parameterization for Land?Atmosphere?Cloud Exchange (PLACE), a typical surface?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) parameterization, was used in a case study of a 2500 km2 area in southwestern Oklahoma for 9?16 July ...
Simulating Human Water Regulation: The Development of an Optimal Complexity, Climate-Adaptive Reservoir Management Model for an LSM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he widespread influence of reservoirs on global rivers makes representations of reservoir outflow and storage essential components of large-scale hydrology and climate simulations across the land surface and atmosphere. ...
Characterizing Drought in India Using GRACE Observations of Terrestrial Water Storage Deficit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: requent recurrences of drought in India have had major societal, economical, and environmental impacts. While region-specific assessments are abundant, exhaustive appraisal over large spatial scales has been insubstantial. ...
Assessing Water Balance Closure Using Multiple Data Assimilation– and Remote Sensing–Based Datasets for Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A High-Resolution Data Assimilation Framework for Snow Water Equivalent Estimation across the Western United States and Validation with the Airborne Snow Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical simulations of snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountain systems can be biased, and few SWE observations have existed over large domains. New approaches for measuring SWE, like NASA?s ultra-high-resolution Airborne ...
