RISFrom Near-Surface to Root-Zone Soil Moisture Using Year-Round Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Passive microwave remote sensing may provide quantitative information about the water content of a shallow near-surface soil layer. However, the variable of interest for applications such as short- and medium-term ...
Inclusion of a Third Soil Layer in a Land Surface Scheme Using the Force–Restore Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The inclusion of a third soil layer in the Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, and Atmosphere (ISBA) model is presented in this paper. The soil water content between the base of the root zone and the deep soil layer is ...
Improved Site-Specific Numerical Prediction of Fog and Low Clouds: A Feasibility Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate short-term forecasts of low ceiling and visibility are vital to air traffic operation, in order to maximize the use of an airport. The research presented here uses specific local observations and a detailed numerical ...
High-Resolution Simulation of Surface and Turbulent Fluxes during HAPEX-MOBILHY
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The newly developed nonhydrostatic model MESO-NH, in which the surface scheme Interactions Soil?Biosphere?Atmosphere has been incorporated, is used in this study to assess the impact of increasing the horizontal resolution ...
Mapping Surface Parameters for Mesoscale Modeling in Forested and Deforested Southwestern Amazonia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface parameter digital maps of vegetation, soil, and relief are obtained over Rondônia, Brazil, covering the 5° ? 5° region 8°?13°S, 65°?60°W. Numerical maps of the natural landscape structure have been achieved by ...
Coupling the ISBA Land Surface Model and the TOPMODEL Hydrological Model for Mediterranean Flash-Flood Forecasting: Description, Calibration, and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Innovative coupling between the soil?vegetation?atmosphere transfer (SVAT) model Interactions between Soil, Biosphere, and Atmosphere (ISBA) and the hydrological model TOPMODEL has been specifically designed for flash-flood ...
Effects of Frozen Soil on Soil Temperature, Spring Infiltration, and Runoff: Results from the PILPS 2(d) Experiment at Valdai, Russia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes phase 2(d) experiment at Valdai, Russia, offers a unique opportunity to evaluate land surface schemes, especially snow and frozen soil parameterizations. ...
