A 3D Canopy Radiative Transfer Model for Global Climate Modeling: Description, Validation, and Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he process of solar radiative transfer at the land surface is important to energy, water, and carbon balance, especially for vegetated areas. Currently the most commonly used two-stream model considers the plant functional ...
As ENSO Changes, So Change the World’s Watersheds

Summer Temperature over the Tibetan Plateau Modulated by Atlantic Multidecadal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRapid warming has led to an aggregated environmental degradation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in the last few decades, including accelerated glacier retreat, early snowmelt, permafrost degradation, and forest fire ...
The Art and Science of Climate Model Tuning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he process of parameter estimation targeting a chosen set of observations is an essential aspect of numerical modeling. This process is usually named tuning in the climate modeling community. In climate models, the variety ...
Evaluating Global Land Surface Models in CMIP5: Analysis of Ecosystem Water- and Light-Use Efficiencies and Rainfall Partitioning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWater and carbon fluxes simulated by 12 Earth system models (ESMs) that participated in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) over several recent decades were evaluated using three functional ...
