Deriving the Surface Soil Heat Flux from Observed Soil Temperature and Soil Heat Flux Profiles Using a Variational Data Assimilation Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel approach to infer surface soil heat fluxes from measured profiles of soil temperature, soil heat flux, and observations of the vegetation canopy temperature and the incoming shortwave radiation is evaluated for the ...
Spatial Heterogeneity of the Soil Moisture Content and Its Impact on Surface Flux Densities and Near-Surface Meteorology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a subgrid distribution for the soil moisture content derived from a macroscale hydrologic model, it is investigated how lateral subgrid variations in the soil moisture content impact both the daily and the seasonal ...
Representation of the Canopy Conductance in Modeling the Surface Energy Budget for Low Vegetation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the authors develop and validate an approach to calculate a canopy conductance that can successfully be implemented in an atmospheric model. The approach is based on plant physiology approaches that have ...
Intermittent Turbulence and Oscillations in the Stable Boundary Layer over Land. Part I: A Bulk Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the stable boundary layer (SBL) it is observed often that turbulence is not continuous in space and time. This discontinuous, intermittent turbulence causes alternations from the mean evolution of the stratified atmospheric ...
Intermittent Turbulence and Oscillations in the Stable Boundary Layer over Land. Part II: A System Dynamics Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the stable boundary layer it is often observed that turbulence is not continuous in space and time. This discontinuous, intermittent turbulence causes alterations from the mean evolution of the stratified atmospheric ...
The CarboEurope Regional Experiment Strategy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quantification of sources and sinks of carbon at global and regional scales requires not only a good description of the land sources and sinks of carbon, but also of the synoptic and mesoscale meteorology. An experiment ...
