RISGlobal Vegetation Root Distribution for Land Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vegetation root distribution is one of the factors that determine the overall water holding capacity of the land surface and the relative rates of water extraction from different soil layers for vegetation transpiration. ...
The Relationship among Precipitation, Cloud-Top Temperature, and Precipitable Water over the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship of monthly precipitation P to precipitable water w and cloud-top temperature as represented by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) Precipitation Index (GPI) is obtained over tropical ...
Consistent Parameterization of Roughness Length and Displacement Height for Sparse and Dense Canopies in Land Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: While progress has been made in the treatment of turbulence below, within, and above canopy in land models, not much attention has been paid to the convergence of canopy roughness length and displacement height to bare ...
Development of Global Hourly 0.5° Land Surface Air Temperature Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: and surface air temperature (SAT) is one of the most important variables in weather and climate studies, and its diurnal cycle is also needed for a variety of applications. Global long-term hourly SAT observational data, ...
Improving the Numerical Solution of Soil Moisture–Based Richards Equation for Land Models with a Deep or Shallow Water Table
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The soil moisture?based Richards equation is widely used in land models for weather and climate studies, but its numerical solution using the mass-conservative scheme in the Community Land Model is found to be deficient ...

Evaluation of Snow Albedo in Land Models for Weather and Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Snow albedo plays an important role in land models for weather, climate, and hydrometeorological studies, but its treatment in various land models still contains significant deficiencies. Complementary to previous studies ...
Coupled Evaluation of Below- and Aboveground Energy and Water Cycle Variables from Reanalysis Products over Five Flux Tower Sites in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eanalysis products are widely used to study the land?atmosphere exchanges of energy, water, and carbon fluxes and have been evaluated using in situ data above or below ground. Here, measurements for several years at five ...
Globally Unified Monsoon Onset and Retreat Indexes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Different criteria have been used in the past to define the monsoon onset and retreat over different monsoon regions and even over different parts of the same monsoon region. Here an objective criterion is proposed to ...
Seasonal Prediction of North Atlantic Accumulated Cyclone Energy and Major Hurricane Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Building upon our previous seasonal hurricane prediction model, here we develop two statistical models to predict the number of major hurricanes (MHs) and accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) in the North Atlantic basin using ...
