RISRetrieval of an Available Water-Based Soil Moisture Proxy from Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing. Part I: Methodology and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A retrieval of available water fraction (?fAW) is proposed using surface flux estimates from satellite-based thermal infrared (TIR) imagery and the Atmosphere?Land Exchange Inversion (ALEXI) model. Available water serves ...
Using Temporal Changes in Drought Indices to Generate Probabilistic Drought Intensification Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the potential utility of using rapid temporal changes in drought indices to provide early warning of an elevated risk for drought development over subseasonal time scales is assessed. Standardized change ...
Examining the Relationship between Drought Development and Rapid Changes in the Evaporative Stress Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the ability of a new drought metric based on thermal infrared remote sensing imagery to provide early warning of an elevated risk for drought intensification is assessed. This new metric, called the rapid ...
Multivariate Assimilation of Remotely Sensed Soil Moisture and Evapotranspiration for Drought Monitoring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Soil moisture (SM) and evapotranspiration (ET) are key variables of the terrestrial water cycle with a strong relationship. This study examines remotely sensed soil moisture and evapotranspiration data assimilation (DA) ...
A Water Balance–Based, Spatiotemporal Evaluation of Terrestrial Evapotranspiration Products across the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAccurate gridded estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) are essential to the analysis of terrestrial water budgets. In this study, ET estimates from three gridded energy balance?based products (ETEB) with independent ...

Predicting US Drought Monitor (USDM) States using Precipitation, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration Anomalies, Part I: Development of a Non-Discrete USDM Index.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he U.S. Drought Monitor (USDM) classifies drought into five discrete dryness/drought categories based on expert synthesis of numerous data sources. In this study, an empirical methodology is presented for creating a ...
Predicting the US Drought Monitor (USDM) using Precipitation, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration Anomalies, Part II: Intraseasonal Drought Intensification Forecasts.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: robabilistic forecasts of US Drought Monitor (USDM) intensification over two, four and eight week time periods are developed based on recent anomalies in precipitation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture. These statistical ...
Enhancing Model Skill by Assimilating SMOPS Blended Soil Moisture Product into Noah Land Surface Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any studies that have assimilated remotely sensed soil moisture into land surface models have generally focused on retrievals from a single satellite sensor. However, few studies have evaluated the merits of assimilating ...
