Abstract: he North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) is a state-of-the-art land?atmosphere reanalysis product that provides improved representation of the terrestrial hydrologic cycle compared to previous global reanalyses, having ...

Abstract: AbstractSoil moisture anomalies within the root zone (roughly, soil depths down to ~0.4 m) typically persist only a few months. Consequently, land surface?related climate predictability research has often focused on ...

Abstract: hysically based models facilitate understanding of seasonal snow processes but require meteorological forcing data beyond air temperature and precipitation (e.g., wind, humidity, shortwave radiation, and longwave radiation) ...

Abstract: unified land model (ULM) is described that combines the surface flux parameterizations in the Noah land surface model (used in most of NOAA?s coupled weather and climate models) with the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting ...

Abstract: and surface model experiments are used to quantify, for a number of U.S. river basins, the contributions (isolated and combined) of soil moisture and snowpack initialization to the skill of seasonal streamflow forecasts ...

Abstract: A negative snow water equivalent (SWE) bias in the snow model of the Noah land surface scheme used in the NCEP suite of numerical weather and climate prediction models has been noted by several investigators. This bias ...

Abstract: ridded spatiotemporal maps of precipitation are essential for hydrometeorological and ecological analyses. In the United States, most of these datasets are developed using the Cooperative Observer (COOP) network of ...

Abstract: he current California drought has cast a heavy burden on statewide agriculture and water resources, further exacerbated by concurrent extreme high temperatures. Furthermore, industrial-era global radiative forcing brings ...
