RISA Climatonomic Description of the Surface Energy Balance in the Central Sahel. Part I: Shortwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climate of the West African Sahel is characterized by unusually long (multiyear) persistence of anomalously wet or dry conditions. An increasing body of evidence suggests that land surface processes contribute to this ...
A Climatonomic Description of the Surface Energy Balance in the Central Sahel. Part II: The Evapoclimatonomy Submodel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In Part I of this article we presented a study of the shortwave radiation budget in the West African Sahel, using Lettau's climatonomy model. In Part II, we apply the second of Lettau's submodels, evapoclimatonomy, to ...
Application of Evapoclimatonomy to Monthly Surface Water Balance Calculations at the HAPEX-Sahel Supersites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper a revised verstion of Lettau's evapoclimatonomy model is used to simulate climate in West Africa. The model is applied specifically to the study sites of the HAPEX-Sahel region in Niger, an international ...
A Revised Version of Lettau's Evapoclimatonomy Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper a revised version of Lettau's evapoclimatonomy model is introduced. Climatonomy is a one-dimensional representation of mean climate, which includes a complete characterization of the surface energy and water ...
The Relationship between Anvil Clouds and Convective Cells: A Case Study in South Florida during CRYSTAL-FACE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the important goals of NASA?s Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers?Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE) was to further the understanding of the evolution of tropical anvil clouds ...
