RISGlobal Retrospective Estimation of Soil Moisture Using the Variable Infiltration Capacity Land Surface Model, 1980–93
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A daily set of surface meteorological forcings, model-derived surface moisture fluxes, and state variables for global land areas for the period of 1979?93 is described. The forcing dataset facilitates global simulations ...
Drought in the Pacific Northwest, 1920–2013
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he severity?area?duration (SAD) method is used in conjunction with the Variable Infiltration Capacity model (VIC) to identify the major historical total moisture (TM; soil moisture plus snow water equivalent) droughts over ...
A Framework for Diagnosing Factors Degrading the Streamflow Performance of a Soil Moisture Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data assimilation (DA) techniques have been widely applied to assimilate satellite-based soil moisture (SM) measurements into hydrologic models to improve streamflow simulations. However, past studies have reached mixed ...
The Contribution of Reservoirs to Global Land Surface Water Storage Variations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: an-made reservoirs play a key role in the terrestrial water system. They alter water fluxes at the land surface and impact surface water storage through water management regulations for diverse purposes such as irrigation, ...
Evaluation of Real-Time Satellite Precipitation Data for Global Drought Monitoring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) near-real-time (RT) data are considered less accurate than the TMPA research quality (RP) data because of the simplified data ...
Vegetation Representation Influences Projected Streamflow Changes in the Colorado River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Benchmarking of a Physically Based Hydrologic Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe concepts of model benchmarking, model agility, and large-sample hydrology are becoming more prevalent in hydrologic and land surface modeling. As modeling systems become more sophisticated, these concepts have ...
Detection of Intensification in Global- and Continental-Scale Hydrological Cycles: Temporal Scale of Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diagnostic studies of offline, global-scale Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) model simulations of terrestrial water budgets and simulations of the climate of the twenty-first century using the parallel climate model ...
Continental Runoff into the Oceans (1950–2008)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: common term in the continental and oceanic components of the global water cycle is freshwater discharge to the oceans. Many estimates of the annual average global discharge have been made over the past 100 yr with a ...
Atmospheric River–Induced Precipitation and Snowpack during the Western United States Cold Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow, elongated corridors of high water vapor content transported from tropical and/or extratropical cyclones. We characterize precipitation and snow water equivalent associated with ...
