On the Proper Use of Satellite-Derived Leaf Area Index in Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-observed leaf area index (LAI) is increasingly being used in climate modeling. In common land surface models, LAI is specified for the vegetated part only. In contrast, satellite LAI is defined for the total area ...
Satellite-Observed Surface Temperature Changes after the 2004 Taylor Complex Fire in Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land-use and land-cover change has been recognized as a key component in global climate change. In the boreal forest ecosystem, fires often cause significant changes in vegetation structure and surface biophysical ...
Biophysical Evaluation of Land-Cover Products for Land–Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The need for accurate characterization of the land surface as boundary conditions in climate models has been recognized widely in the climate modeling community. A large number of land-cover datasets are currently used in ...
