RISHomogenization of Observed Surface Wind Speed Based on Geostrophic Wind Theory over China from 1970 to 2017
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
An Improved Method for Estimating Global Evapotranspiration Based on Satellite Determination of Surface Net Radiation, Vegetation Index, Temperature, and Soil Moisture
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple and accurate method to estimate regional or global latent heat of evapotranspiration (ET) from remote sensing data is essential. The authors proposed a method in an earlier study that utilized satellite-determined ...
Contrasting Daytime and Nighttime Precipitation Variability between Observations and Eight Reanalysis Products from 1979 to 2014 in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDaytime (0800?2000 Beijing time) and nighttime (2000?0800 Beijing time) precipitation at approximately 2100 stations in China from 1979 to 2014 was used to evaluate eight current reanalyses. Daytime, nighttime, and ...
Estimation of Daytime Net Radiation from Shortwave Radiation Measurements and Meteorological Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes in surface net radiation Rn control the earth?s climate, the hydrological cycle, and plant photosynthesis. However, Rn is not readily available. This study develops a method to estimate surface daytime Rn from solar ...
A Comparison of MODIS-Derived Cloud Fraction with Surface Observations at Five SURFRAD Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: louds determine the amount of solar radiation incident to the surface. Accurately quantifying cloud fraction is of great importance but is difficult to accomplish. Satellite and surface cloud observations have different ...
Impacts of Dem Uncertainty on Estimated Surface Solar Radiation and Extracted River Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igital elevation models (DEMs) have important meteorological, hydrological, and climatological applications. This research studies the uncertainties of six widely accepted global DEM datasets over China and their derivative ...
Biological and Environmental Controls on Evaporative Fractions at AmeriFlux Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nowledge of the evaporative fraction (EF: the ratio of latent heat flux to the sum of sensible and latent heat fluxes) and its controls is particularly important for accurate estimates of water flux, heat exchange, and ...
Quantifying the Sensitivity of Precipitation to the Long-Term Warming Trend and Interannual–Decadal Variation of Surface Air Temperature over China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation is expected to increase under global warming. However, large discrepancies in precipitation sensitivities to global warming among observations and models have been reported, partly owing to the large natural ...
Evaluation of Surface Fluxes in ERA-Interim Using Flux Tower Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface air temperature Ta is largely determined by surface net radiation Rn and its partitioning into latent (LE) and sensible heat fluxes (H). Existing model evaluations by comparison of absolute flux values are of limited ...
Homogenized Variability of Radiosonde-Derived Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height over the Global Land Surface from 1973 to 2014
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oundary layer height (BLH) significantly impacts near-surface air quality, and its determination is important for climate change studies. Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive data from 1973 to 2014 were used to estimate ...
