Abstract: During the Southern Great Plains 1997 Hydrology Experiment, a tethersonde system was deployed at the U.S. Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Cloud and Radiation Test Bed (ARM CART) central facility. ...

Abstract: A new approach to reduce biases in satellite-based estimates in real time is proposed and tested in this study. Currently satellite-based precipitation estimates exhibit considerable biases, and there have been many efforts ...

Abstract: he Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) campaign was conducted in eastern Iowa as a pre-GPM-launch campaign from 1 May to 15 June 2013. During the campaign period, real-time forecasts were conducted utilizing the NASA-Unified ...

Abstract: he inherent coupled nature of earth?s energy and water cycles places significant importance on the proper representation and diagnosis of land?atmosphere (LA) interactions in hydrometeorological prediction models. However, ...

Abstract: The authors develop a land use map discriminating urban surfaces from other cover types over a semiarid region in North Africa and use it in a land surface model to assess the impact of urbanized land on surface energy, ...

Abstract: In this study, the recent work of Gottschalck et al. and Ebert et al. is extended by assessing the suitability of two Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)-based precipitation products for hydrological land data ...

Abstract: Land?atmosphere interactions play a critical role in determining the diurnal evolution of both planetary boundary layer (PBL) and land surface temperature and moisture states. The degree of coupling between the land surface ...
