Abstract: Based on model calculations with a combined radiation-turbulence model, a simple relation to estimate the minimum surface temperature of a saturated vegetated clay soil from the 2 m air temperature is proposed. The ...

Abstract: An intercomparison of radiation codes used in retrieving upper?tropospheric humidity (UTH) from observations in the n2 (6.3 mm) water vapor absorption band was performed. This intercomparison is one part of a coordinated ...
