RISDaily NDVI Relationship to Cloud Cover
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) cloud index (NCI) was derived from Pathfinder Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) daily NDVI data and compared with observed cloud amounts and a sunshine ...
Seasonal Change of the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation over Japan and Malaysia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of precipitation is investigated using ground-based hourly observations for more than 10 years both in Japan and Malaysia. The diurnal cycle of precipitation in Japan is classified into three clusters. ...
Design of Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP)—A Global River Channel Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a first step toward designing a comprehensive model for validating land surface hydrology and river flow in Earth system models, a global river channel network has been prepared at 1° latitude ? 1° longitude resolution. ...
Impact of Deforestation on Regional Precipitation over the Indochina Peninsula
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is now widely recognized that tropical deforestation can change the regional climate significantly. The increasing population and the spreading deforestation in the Indochina Peninsula, especially in Thailand, make it ...
Rainfall Amount, Intensity, Duration, and Frequency Relationships in the Mae Chaem Watershed in Southeast Asia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A dense tipping-bucket rain gauge network was established in the Mae Chaem watershed in the mountains of northwestern Thailand as part of the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Asian Monsoon Experiment-Tropics ...
Hydrological Cycles Change in the Yellow River Basin during the Last Half of the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A distributed biosphere hydrological (DBH) model system was used to explore the internal relations among the climate system, human society, and the hydrological system in the Yellow River basin, and to interpret possible ...
Advanced Rain/No-Rain Classification Methods for Microwave Radiometer Observations over Land
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seto et al. developed rain/no-rain classification (RNC) methods over land for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI). In this study, the methods are modified for application to other microwave ...
Application of Satellite-Derived Surface Soil Moisture Data to Simulating Seasonal Precipitation by a Simple Soil Moisture Transfer Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple algorithm is presented for transferring root-zone soil moisture from surface soil moisture data on a global scale. Analysis of offline soil moisture data shows that the climatological relationship between surface ...
The Influence of Precipitation Variability and Partial Irrigation within Grid Cells on a Hydrological Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of natural and anthropogenic heterogeneity on a hydrological simulation are evaluated using a distributed biosphere hydrological model (DBHM) system. The DBHM embeds a biosphere model into a distributed ...
Chronological development of terrestrial mean precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: w much precipitation falls over land? Beginning with regional observations in preindustrial times, we focus particularly on how this question was answered for the world before the age of digitization.
