Near-Surface Site Effects in Crystalline Bedrock: A Comprehensive Analysis of Spectral Amplitudes Determined from a Dense, Three-Component Seismic Array
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We find that site effects on weathered granodiorite bedrock at Piñon Flat in southern California are highly variable at distance scales of the order of tens of meters. We base this conclusion on 111,632 power spectral ...
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 ...
Design of Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP)—A Global River Channel Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As a first step toward designing a comprehensive model for validating land surface hydrology and river flow in Earth system models, a global river channel network has been prepared at 1° latitude ? 1° longitude resolution. ...
Refinements to SSiB with an Emphasis on Snow Physics: Evaluation and Validation Using GSWP and Valdai Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Refinements to the snow-physics scheme of the Simplified Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB) are described and evaluated. The upgrades include a partial redesign of the conceptual architecture of snowpack to better simulate the ...
Global Temperature Patterns in Past Centuries: An Interactive Presentation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recent availability of global networks of annual or seasonal resolution proxy data, combined with the few long instrumental and historical climate records available during the past few centuries, make it possible now ...
Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II CD-ROM Atlas of Global Monthly Aerosols, Ozone, NO2, Water, Vapor, and Relative Humitidy (1985–1993)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Individual profile measurements from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II) instrument aboard the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite have been used to create latitude-longitude maps of monthly mean aerosols, ...
Simulation Errors Associated with the Neglect of Oceanic Salinity in an Atmospheric GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In all the atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) at the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres (GLA), the influence of oceanic salinity on the saturation vapor pressure of seawater is ignored. Since the relative humidity ...
Interpretation of TRMM TMI Images of Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Images of the 85-GHz frequency from the Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) aboard the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) spacecraft are routinely viewed by forecasters for tropical cyclone analyses. These ...
Analysis of a Mesoscale Gravity Wave Event Using Empirical Orthogonal Functions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is detailed that filters mesoscale gravity wave signals from synoptic-level observation data using empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs). Similar EOF analyses have been used to study many oceanographic and ...
Including Croplands in a Global Biosphere Model: Methodology and Evaluation at Specific Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is a strong international demand for quantitative estimates of both carbon sources/sinks, and water availability at the land surface at various spatial scales (regional to global). These estimates can be derived (and ...
