A Simple Method for Estimating Monthly Mean Albedo of Land Surfaces From AVHRR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is suggested that the observed periodicity of cloud-free, visible and near-infrared data from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard NOAA-9 for a particular target can be efficiently used for ...
Numerical Experiments on Land Surface Alterations with a Zonal Model Allowing for Interaction between the Geobotanic State and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A zonally-averaged steady-state hemispheric mean-annual climate model is used for conducting a series of experiments on land surface alterations: desertification, deforestation and irrigation. In each experiment a fixed ...
Interaction between the Geobotanic State and Climate: A Suggested Approach and a Test with a Zonal Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is suggested for introducing long-term interaction between the geobotanic state and climate (a biogeophysical feedback mechanism) into climate models. It is based upon making the geobotanic state, characterized ...
