RISThe Effects of Satellite-Derived Vegetation Cover Variability on Simulated Land–Atmosphere Interactions in the NAMS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Substantial evolution of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NVDI)-derived vegetation cover (Fg) exists in the southwestern United States and Mexico. The intraseasonal and wet-/dry-year fluctuations of Fg are linked ...
Relationship between Vegetation Biophysical Properties and Surface Temperature Using Multisensor Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vegetation is an important factor in global climatic variability and plays a key role in the complex interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere. This study focuses on the spatial and temporal variability of ...
The Effects of Desiccation and Climatic Change on the Hydrology of the Aral Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anthropogenic desiccation of the Aral Sea between 1960 and the mid-1990s resulted in a substantial modification of the land surface that changed air temperature in the surrounding region. During the desiccation interval, ...
Changes in Surface Air Temperature Caused by Desiccation of the Aral Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A statistical method for establishing the cause?effect relationship between a land surface modification and some component of observed climatic change is presented. This method aids attribution in two ways. First, the ...
Calibration of Noah Soil Hydraulic Property Parameters Using Surface Soil Moisture from SMOS and Basinwide In Situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil hydraulic properties (SHPs) control infiltration and redistribution of moisture in a soil column. The Noah land surface model (LSM) default simulation selects SHPs according to a location?s mapped soil texture class. ...
