Lidar Measurement of Boundary Layer Evolution to Determine Sensible Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Soil Moisture?Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (SMACEX) was conducted in the Walnut Creek watershed near Ames, Iowa, over the period from 15 June to 11 July 2002. A main focus of SMACEX is the investigation of the ...
Tower and Aircraft Eddy Covariance Measurements of Water Vapor, Energy, and Carbon Dioxide Fluxes during SMACEX
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A network of eddy covariance (EC) and micrometeorological flux (METFLUX) stations over corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] canopies was established as part of the Soil Moisture?Atmosphere Coupling ...
An Interdisciplinary Field Study of the Energy and Water Fluxes in the Atmospheric-Biosphere System over Semiarid Rangelands: Description and Some Preliminary Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Arid and semiarid rangelands comprise a significant portion of the earth's land surface. Yet little is known about the effects of temporal and spatial changes in surface soil moisture on the hydrologic cycle, energy balance, ...
