Thermal Inertia Approach Using a Heat Budget Model to Estimate the Spatial Distribution of Surface Soil Moisture over a Semiarid Grassland in Central Mongolia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThermal inertia is a physical parameter that evaluates soil thermal properties with an emphasis on the stability of the temperature when the soil is affected by heating/cooling. Thermal inertia can be retrieved ...
Validation of a Dual-Pass Microwave Land Data Assimilation System for Estimating Surface Soil Moisture in Semiarid Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the capability of a new microwave land data assimilation system (LDAS) for estimating soil moisture in semiarid regions, where soil moisture is very heterogeneous. This system assimilates the Advanced ...
Diurnal Variation of Convective Activity and Precipitable Water around Ulaanbaator, Mongolia, and the Impact of Soil Moisture on Convective Activity during Nighttime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variations of convective activity and precipitable water were investigated using a C-band airport radar and GPS receivers around Ulaanbaator (UB), Mongolia; this location was considered as an example of an arid ...
