RISComments on “Estimating Soil Water Contents from Soil Temperature Measurements by Using an Adaptive Kalman Filter”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scheme was proposed by Zhang et al. to estimate soil water content from soil temperature measurements by using an adaptive Kalman filter. Their scheme is based on the fact that soil heat capacity and thermal conductivity ...
Analytical Solution of Surface Layer Similarity Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent exchange between the surface and the atmosphere strongly depends on the stability of the surface layer. If surface radiometric temperature, rather than aerodynamic temperature, is used to parameterize the surface ...
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 ...
On the Climatology and Trend of the Atmospheric Heat Source over the Tibetan Plateau: An Experiments-Supported Revisit
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric heating over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) enhances the Asian summer monsoon. This study presents a state-of-the-art estimate of the heating components and their total over the TP, with the aid of high-accuracy ...
A Bias-Corrected Precipitation Climatology for China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the results of bias corrections of Chinese standard precipitation gauge (CSPG) measurements for wind-induced undercatch, a trace amount of precipitation, and wetting loss. Long-term daily data of ...
Modeling the Spatial Distribution of Snow Cover in the Dudhkoshi Region of the Nepal Himalayas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, a distributed biosphere hydrological model with three-layer energy-balance snow physics [an improved version of the Water and Energy Budget?based Distributed Hydrological Model (WEB-DHM-S)] is applied to the ...
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 ...
Turbulent Flux Transfer over Bare-Soil Surfaces: Characteristics and Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterization of turbulent flux from bare-soil and undercanopy surfaces is imperative for modeling land?atmosphere interactions in arid and semiarid regions, where flux from the ground is dominant or comparable to ...
NASA Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX 2002/03): Local Scale Observation Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The local scale observation site (LSOS) is the smallest study site (0.8 ha) of the 2002/03 Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX) and is located within the Fraser mesocell study area. It was the most intensively measured ...
