Spring Thaw and Its Effect on Terrestrial Vegetation Productivity in the Western Arctic Observed from Satellite Microwave and Optical Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global satellite remote sensing records show evidence of recent vegetation greening and an advancing growing season at high latitudes. Satellite remote sensing?derived measures of photosynthetic leaf area index (LAI) and ...
Global Biomass Variation and Its Geodynamic Effects: 1982–98
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Redistribution of mass near Earth?s surface alters its rotation, gravity field, and geocenter location. Advanced techniques for measuring these geodetic variations now exist, but the ability to attribute the observed modes ...
The Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE): Overview and Synthesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary goal of the Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE) was to better understand uncertainties of simulated hydrologic and ecosystem dynamics of the western Arctic in the context of 1) uncertainties in the data ...
Recent Climate-Driven Increases in Vegetation Productivity for the Western Arctic: Evidence of an Acceleration of the Northern Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Northern ecosystems contain much of the global reservoir of terrestrial carbon that is potentially reactive in the context of near-term climate change. Annual variability and recent trends in vegetation productivity across ...
