Variability in Springtime Thaw in the Terrestrial High Latitudes: Monitoring a Major Control on the Biospheric Assimilation of Atmospheric CO2 with Spaceborne Microwave Remote Sensing

Source: Earth Interactions:;2004:;volume( 008 ):;issue: 020:;page 1

Author(s): McDonald, Kyle C.; Kimball, John S.; Njoku, Eni; Zimmermann, Reiner; Zhao, Maosheng

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Evidence is presented from the satellite microwave remote sensing record that the timing of seasonal thawing and subsequent initiation of the growing season in early spring has advanced by approximately 8 days from 1988 ...

Improvements in Land-Use Classification for Estimating Daytime Surface Temperatures and Sea-Breeze Flows in Southern California
