Evaluation of a Process-Based Agro-Ecosystem Model (Agro-IBIS) across the U.S. Corn Belt: Simulations of the Interannual Variability in Maize Yield
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A process-based terrestrial ecosystem model, Agro-IBIS, was used to simulate maize yield in a 13-state region of the U.S. Corn Belt from 1958 to 1994 across a 0.5° terrestrial grid. For validation, county-level census [U.S. ...
Trends and Variability in U.S. Corn Yields Over the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The United States is currently responsible for 40%?45% of the world?s corn supply and 70% of total global exports [the U.S. Department of Agriculture?National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA?NASS)]. Therefore, analyses ...
Seasonality of the Urban Heat Island Effect in Madison, Wisconsin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: patial and temporal variation in the urban heat island (UHI) effect from March 2012 through October 2013 was characterized using continuous temperature measurements from an array of up to 151 fixed sensors in and around ...

Spatiotemporal Mapping of Temperature and Precipitation for the Development of a Multidecadal Climatic Dataset for Wisconsin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from the generation of a multidecadal gridded climatic dataset for 57 yr (1950?2006) of daily and monthly precipitation (PTotal), maximum temperature (Tmax), and minimum temperature (Tmin) are presented for the ...
Modeling Global and Regional Net Primary Production under Elevated Atmospheric CO2: On a Potential Source of Uncertainty
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Terrestrial ecosystem models are built, among several reasons, to explore how the Earth?s biosphere responds to climate change and to the projected continual increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration. Many of these models ...
Effects of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on the Climate, Water Balance, and Streamflow of the Mississippi River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climatic and hydrologic observations and results from a terrestrial ecosystem model coupled to a regional-scale river-routing algorithm are used to document the associations between the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) ...
Effects of Land Cover Change on the Energy and Water Balance of the Mississippi River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of land cover change on the energy and water balance of the Mississippi River basin are analyzed using the Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS) model. Results of a simulated conversion from complete forest ...

Interactive Crop Management in the Community Earth System Model (CESM1): Seasonal Influences on Land–Atmosphere Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Community Earth System Model, version 1 (CESM1) is evaluated with two coupled atmosphere?land simulations. The CTRL (control) simulation represents crops as unmanaged grasses, while CROP represents a crop managed ...
