Abstract: his study investigates the possibility of changes in daily scale solar radiation and precipitation variability. Coefficients of variation (CVs) were computed for the daily downward surface solar radiation product from the ...

Abstract: any modeling studies have indicated that deforestation will increase the average annual temperature in the Amazon. However, few studies have investigated the potential for deforestation to change the frequency and intensity ...

Abstract: his study investigates how future deforestation in the Amazon may alter precipitation statistics in South America using a variable-resolution GCM. The model?s grid mesh is set up to cover South America and nearby oceans ...

Abstract: umerical models have long predicted that the deforestation of the Amazon would lead to large regional changes in precipitation and temperature, but the extratropical effects of deforestation have been a matter of controversy. ...

Abstract: This work continues the presentation and evaluation of the Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Model (OLAM), focusing on the model?s ability to represent radiation and precipitation. OLAM is a new, state-of-the-art earth system model, ...
