Comparing ERA-40-Based L-Band Brightness Temperatures with Skylab Observations: A Calibration/Validation Study Using the Community Microwave Emission Model

Source: Journal of Hydrometeorology:;2009:;Volume( 010 ):;issue: 001:;page 213

Author(s): Drusch, Matthias; Holmes, Thomas; de Rosnay, Patricia; Balsamo, Gianpaolo

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The Community Microwave Emission Model (CMEM) has been used to compute global L-band brightness temperatures at the top of the atmosphere. The input data comprise surface fields from the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40), ...

From Near-Surface to Root-Zone Soil Moisture Using Different Assimilation Techniques

Source: Journal of Hydrometeorology:;2007:;Volume( 008 ):;issue: 002:;page 194

Author(s): Sabater, Joaquín Muñoz; Jarlan, Lionel; Calvet, Jean-Christophe; Bouyssel, François; De Rosnay, Patricia

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Root-zone soil moisture constitutes an important variable for hydrological and weather forecast models. Microwave radiometers like the L-band instrument on board the European Space Agency?s (ESA) future Soil Moisture and ...

How Well Do Operational Numerical Weather Prediction Configurations Represent Hydrology?

Source: Journal of Hydrometeorology:;2019:;volume 020:;issue 008:;page 1533

Author(s): Zsoter, Ervin; Cloke, Hannah; Stephens, Elisabeth; de Rosnay, Patricia; Muñoz-Sabater, Joaquin; Prudhomme, Christel; Pappenberger, Florian

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractLand surface models (LSMs) have traditionally been designed to focus on providing lower-boundary conditions to the atmosphere with less focus on hydrological processes. State-of-the-art application of LSMs includes ...

Modeling Root Water Uptake in Hydrological and Climate Models

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2001:;volume( 082 ):;issue: 012:;page 2797

Author(s): Feddes, Reinder A.; Hoff, Holger; Bruen, Michael; Dawson, Todd; de Rosnay, Patricia; Dirmeyer, Paul; Jackson, Robert B.; Kabat, Pavel; Kleidon, Axel; Lilly, Allan; Pitman, Andrew J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: From 30 September to 2 October 1999 a workshop was held in Gif?sur?Yvette, France, with the central objective to develop a research strategy for the next 3?5 years, aiming at a systematic description of root functioning, ...

The AMMA Land Surface Model Intercomparison Project (ALMIP)

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The rainfall over West Africa has been characterized by extreme variability in the last half-century, with prolonged droughts resulting in humanitarian crises. There is, therefore, an urgent need to better understand and ...
