A Global Analysis of Land Surface Temperature Diurnal Cycle Using MODIS Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDiurnal variations of land surface temperature (LST) play a vital role in a wide range of applications such as climate change assessment, land?atmosphere interactions, and heat-related health issues in urban regions. ...
A New Parameter to Assess Impact of Rain Gauge Density on Uncertainty in the Estimate of Monthly Rainfall over India
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRain gauges are considered the most accurate method to estimate rainfall and are used as the ?ground truth? for a wide variety of applications. The spatial density of rain gauges varies substantially and hence ...
