Analyzing the Concurrence of Meteorological Droughts and Warm Periods, with Implications for the Determination of Evaporative Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The hydroclimatic conditions under which a seasonal meteorological drought (below-normal seasonal rainfall) can induce an increase in seasonal air temperature are investigated, first with an atmospheric general circulation ...
The Multi-Channel Infrared Sea Truth Radiometric Calibrator (MISTRC)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new multichannel infrared sea truth radiometer has been designed and built to improve validation of satellite-determined sea surface temperature. Horizontal grid polarized filters installed on the shortwave channels are ...
Influence of the Interannual Variability of Vegetation on the Surface Energy Balance—A Global Sensitivity Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The degree to which the interannual variability of vegetation phenology affects hydrological fluxes over land is investigated through a series of simulations with the Mosaic land surface model, run both offline and coupled ...
The Seasonal Cycle over the Tropical Pacific in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal cycle over the tropical Pacific simulated by 11 coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) is examined. Each model consists of a high-resolution ocean GCM of either the tropical Pacific or ...
