RISLand Surface Heterogeneity in the Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97). Part II: Analysis of Spatial Heterogeneity and Its Scaling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiscale atmospheric forcing data at 1-, 5-, and 10-km scales from the 1997 Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97) were used to drive three uncoupled land surface models: the National Center for Atmospheric ...
Prediction of a Flash Flood in Complex Terrain. Part II: A Comparison of Flood Discharge Simulations Using Rainfall Input from Radar, a Dynamic Model, and an Automated Algorithmic System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three techniques were employed for the estimation and prediction of precipitation from a thunderstorm that produced a flash flood in the Buffalo Creek watershed located in the mountainous Front Range near Denver, Colorado, ...
The Influence of Terrain on Rainfall Estimates from Radar Reflectivity and Specific Propagation Phase Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of beam blockage on rainfall estimates derived from radar reflectivity and specific propagation phase was evaluated from measurements of a convective rainfall event from the National Center for Atmospheric ...
A Community Hydrometeorology Laboratory for Fostering Collaborative Research by the Atmospheric and Hydrologic Sciences
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new community laboratory for fostering collaborative research between the atmospheric and hydrologic sciences communities is described. This facility, located at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in ...
Land Surface Heterogeneity in the Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97). Part I: Comparing Modeled Surface Flux Maps with Surface-Flux Tower and Aircraft Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land surface heterogeneity over an area of 71 km ? 74 km in the lower Walnut River watershed, Kansas, was investigated using models and measurements from the 1997 Cooperative Atmosphere Surface Exchange Study (CASES-97) ...
Prediction of a Flash Flood in Complex Terrain. Part I: A Comparison of Rainfall Estimates from Radar, and Very Short Range Rainfall Simulations from a Dynamic Model and an Automated Algorithmic System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Operational prediction of flash floods caused by convective rainfall in mountainous areas requires accurate estimates or predictions of the rainfall distribution in space and time. The details of the spatial distribution ...
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 Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study (CASES) Dataset for Analyzing and Parameterizing the Effects of Land Surface Heterogeneity on Area-Averaged Surface Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multiscale dataset that includes atmospheric, surface, and subsurface observations obtained from an observation network covering a region that has a scale order comparable to mesoscale and general circulation models is ...
