Abstract: This is an investigation of the impact of and mechanisms for biosphere feedback in the northeast Asian grassland on the regional climate. Desertification in the Inner Mongolian grassland has dramatically increased during ...

Abstract: This is a general circulation model sensitivity study of the physical mechanisms of the effects of desertification on the Sahel drought. The model vegetation types were changed in the prescribed desertification area, which ...

Abstract: A general circulation model sensitivity study was carried out to investigate the influence of global sea surface temperature (SST) on Sahel rainfall. This study was inspired by the impressive model simulations of Sahel ...

Abstract: A numerical experiment was performed to explore the nature of and mechanisms for the effect of large-scale afforestation in the sub-Saharan area on the climate. This sensitivity study, which consists of several short-term ...

Abstract: A statistical?dynamical study was performed on the role of hydrometeorological interactions in the midlatitudes and the semiarid Tropics. For this, observations from two field experiments, the First International Satellite ...

Abstract: Proper simulation of soil freezing and thawing processes is an important issue in cold region climate studies. This paper reports on a frozen soil parameterization scheme for cold region studies that includes water flow ...

Abstract: A 2-D zonally averaged, time-dependent climate model has been developed to study the biogeophysical feedback for the climate of Africa. A numerical scheme has been specifically designed for the model to ensure the conservation ...

Abstract: his study examines the sensitivity of the global climate to land surface processes (LSP) using an atmospheric general circulation model both uncoupled (with prescribed SSTs) and coupled to an oceanic general circulation ...

Abstract: This study assesses the impact of two different remote sensing?derived leaf area index (RSLAI) datasets retrieved from the same source (i.e., Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer measurements) on a general circulation ...

Abstract: n this study, a distributed biosphere hydrological model with three-layer energy-balance snow physics [an improved version of the Water and Energy Budget?based Distributed Hydrological Model (WEB-DHM-S)] is applied to the ...
