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 ...
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 ...
Diagnosing Neglected Soil Moisture Source–Sink Processes via a Thermal Infrared–Based Two-Source Energy Balance Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n recent years, increased attention has been paid to the role of previously neglected water source (e.g., irrigation, direct groundwater extraction, and inland water bodies) and sink (e.g., tile drainage) processes on the ...
On the Use of a Water Balance to Evaluate Interannual Terrestrial ET Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurately measuring interannual variability in terrestrial evapotranspiration ET is a major challenge for efforts to detect trends in the terrestrial hydrologic cycle. Based on comparisons with annual values of terrestrial ...

Assimilation of Gridded GRACE Terrestrial Water Storage Estimates in the North American Land Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he objective of the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) is to provide best-available estimates of near-surface meteorological conditions and soil hydrological status for the continental United States. To ...
