Enhancing Model Skill by Assimilating SMOPS Blended Soil Moisture Product into Noah Land Surface Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any studies that have assimilated remotely sensed soil moisture into land surface models have generally focused on retrievals from a single satellite sensor. However, few studies have evaluated the merits of assimilating ...
Modeling the View Angle Dependence of Gap Fractions in Forest Canopies: Implications for Mapping Fractional Snow Cover Using Optical Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Forest canopies influence the proportion of the land surface that is visible from above, or the viewable gap fraction (VGF). The VGF limits the amount of information available in satellite data about the land surface, such ...
An Intercomparison Study of Algorithms for Downscaling SMAP Radiometer Soil Moisture Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the past decade, a variety of algorithms have been introduced to downscale passive microwave soil moisture observations. Some exploit the soil moisture information from optical/thermal sensing of land surface temperature ...
S4: An O2R/R2O Infrastructure for Optimizing Satellite Data Utilization in NOAA Numerical Modeling Systems: A Step Toward Bridging the Gap between Research and Operations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n 2011, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began a cooperative initiative with the academic community to help address a vexing issue that has long been known as a disconnection between the operational ...
