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 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: 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 ...

Abstract: Root-zone soil moisture controls the land?atmosphere exchange of water and energy, and exhibits memory that may be useful for climate prediction at monthly scales. Assimilation of satellite-based surface soil moisture ...

Abstract: Precipitation estimates from the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) project are evaluated over the contiguous United States (CONUS) for the period of 2005?06. GSMaP combines precipitation retrievals from the ...

Abstract: This manuscript presents an assessment of daily regional simulations of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction (NWP) model initialized with high-resolution land surface data from the NASA ...

Abstract: ccurate determination of snow conditions is important for several water management applications, partly because of the significant influence of snowmelt on seasonal streamflow prediction. This article examines an approach ...

Abstract: dvances in satellite monitoring of the terrestrial water cycle have led to a concerted effort to assimilate soil moisture observations from various platforms into offline land surface models (LSMs). One principal but still ...
