Abstract: ome parts of the United States, especially the southeastern and central portion, cooled by up to 2°C during the twentieth century, while the global mean temperature rose by 0.6°C (0.76°C from 1901 to 2006). Studies have ...

Abstract: he interaction between urban heat islands (UHIs) and heat waves (HWs) is studied using measurements collected at two towers in the Beijing, China, metropolitan area and an analytical model. Measurements show that 1) the ...

Abstract: oil thermal conductivity ? is a vital parameter for soil temperature and soil heat flux forecasting in hydrological models. In this study, an empirical model is developed to relate ? only to soil volumetric water content ...

Abstract: oil heat transfer is complex, and conduction-alone models may not always perform well in estimating soil apparent thermal diffusivity. Soil apparent thermal diffusivity is related to soil temperature change propagation ...

Abstract: xtreme weather and climate events, especially short-term excessive drought and wet periods over agricultural areas, have received increased attention. The Southern Great Plains (SGP) is one of the largest agricultural ...

Abstract: AbstractSoil heat flux Gs is an important component of the surface energy balance. Soil heat flux plates (SHFPs) are widely used to measure Gs, although several errors are known to occur. The Philip correction has been ...

Abstract: umerical weather and climate prediction systems necessitate accurate land surface?atmosphere fluxes, whose determination typically replies on a suite of parameterization schemes. The authors present a field investigation ...
