Estimation of Regional Surface Resistance to Evapotranspiration from NDVI and Thermal-IR AVHRR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared surface temperatures from satellite sensors have been used to infer evaporation and soil moisture distribution over large areas. However, surface energy partitioning to latent versus sensible heat changes with ...
Parameterization and Sensitivity Analysis of the BIOME–BGC Terrestrial Ecosystem Model: Net Primary Production Controls
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ecosystem simulation models use descriptive input parameters to establish the physiology, biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types, or biomes. For single-stand simulations it is ...
Why Is Remote Sensing of Amazon Forest Greenness So Challenging?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he prevalence of clouds and aerosols and their impact on satellite-measured greenness levels of forests in southern and central Amazonia are explored in this article using 10 years of NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging ...
Physical Climate Response to a Reduction of Anthropogenic Climate Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent research indicates that the warming of the climate system resulting from increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the next century will persist for many centuries after the cessation of these emissions, principally ...
