RISSnowmelt on the Greenland Ice Sheet as Derived from Passive Microwave Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The melt extent of the snow on the Greenland ice sheet is of considerable importance to the ice sheet?s mass and energy balance, as well as Arctic and global climates. By comparing passive microwave satellite data to field ...
Variability of AVHRR-Derived Clear-Sky Surface Temperature over the Greenland Ice Sheet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer is used to derive surface temperatures for one satellite pass under clear skies over the Greenland ice sheet from 1989 through 1993. The results of these temperatures are presented ...
Surface Energy Fluxes of Arctic Winter Sea Ice in Barrow Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface energy balance of sea ice was measured during degree one-week periods in November, January, and February of 1980?81 in the Barrow Strait, Northwest Territories, Canada. Turbulent fluxes were derived with the ...
Surface Temperature from ERS-1 ATSR Infrared Thermal Satellite Data in Polar Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) thermal radiances and snow surface temperature for the Greenland ice sheet is examined through forward calculations of the LOWTRAN 7 radiative transfer model. ...
A New Monthly Climatology of Global Radiation for the Arctic and Comparisons with NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis and ISCCP-C2 Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from the Russian ?North Pole? series of drifting stations, the United States drifting stations?T-3? and ?Arlis II,? land stations, and, where necessary, over the northern North Atlantic and coastal Greenland, ...
Surface Melt Area and Water Balance Modeling on the Greenland Ice Sheet 1995–2005
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: SnowModel, a physically based snow-evolution modeling system that includes four submodels?MicroMet, EnBal, SnowPack, and SnowTran-3D?was used to simulate variations in Greenland [including the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS)] ...
Variability in the Environmental Factors Driving Evapotranspiration from a Grazed Rangeland during Severe Drought Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nearly one-half of the earth?s terrestrial surface is susceptible to drought, which can have significant social, economic, and environmental impacts. Therefore, it is important to develop better descriptions and models of ...
A Dozen Years of Temperature Observations at the Summit: Central Greenland Automatic Weather Stations 1987–99
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 4 May 1987, the first automatic weather station (AWS) near the summit of the Greenland Ice Sheet began transmitting data. Air temperature records from this site, AWS Cathy, as well as nearby AWS at the Greenland Ice ...
Increased Runoff from Melt from the Greenland Ice Sheet: A Response to Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors attribute significantly increased Greenland summer warmth and Greenland Ice Sheet melt and runoff since 1990 to global warming. Southern Greenland coastal and Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures were ...
Freshwater Flux and Spatiotemporal Simulated Runoff Variability into Ilulissat Icefjord, West Greenland, Linked to Salinity and Temperature Observations near Tidewater Glacier Margins Obtained Using Instrumented Ringed Seals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he distribution of terrestrial surface runoff to Ilulissat Icefjord, west Greenland, is simulated for the period 2009?13 to better emphasize the spatiotemporal variability in freshwater flux and the link between runoff ...
