Abstract: This study assesses the simulations of global-scale evapotranspiration from the second Global Soil Wetness Project (GSWP-2) within a global water budget framework. The scatter in the GSWP-2 global evapotranspiration estimates ...

Abstract: Soil moisture predictability and the associated predictability of continental climate are explored as an initial-value problem, using a coupled land?atmosphere model with prescribed ocean surface temperatures. Ensemble ...

Abstract: The capability of a global data compilation, largely satellite based, is assessed to depict the global atmospheric water cycle?s mean state and variability. Monthly global precipitation estimates from the Global Precipitation ...

Abstract: A synthesis of several approaches to quantifying land?atmosphere interactions is presented. These approaches use data from observations or atmospheric reanalyses applied to atmospheric tracer models and stand-alone land ...

Abstract: Off-line simulations of improved bucket hydrology and Simplified Simple Biosphere (SSiB) models are performed for a grassland vegetation catchment region, located at the Valdai water-balance research station in Russia, ...

Abstract: n analogue method is presented to detect the occurrence of heavy precipitation events without relying on modeled precipitation. The approach is based on using composites to identify distinct large-scale atmospheric conditions ...

Abstract: he growing need for risk-based assessments of impacts and adaptation to climate change calls for increased capability in climate projections: specifically, the quantification of the likelihood of regional outcomes and the ...
