The Relationship of the Terra MODIS Fire Product and Anthropogenic Features in the Central Siberian Landscape
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fires are a common occurrence in the Siberian boreal forest. The thermal anomalies product of the Terra/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) product suite is designed to detect thermal anomalies (i.e., ...
Land-Cover Dynamics in an Urban Area of Ghana
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objectives of this study were to quantify land-cover changes. A short-term projection of land-cover distribution in a 2400-ha (1 ha = 10 000 m2 ) area of northern Ghana was generated. Landsat Thematic Mapper images ...
Validation and Use of a Semidistributed Hydrological Modeling System to Predict Short-Term Effects of Clear-Cutting on a Watershed Hydrological Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Gestion Intégrée des Bassins versants à l'aide d'un Système Informatisé (GIBSI), a semidistributed hydrological modeling system, was evaluated for its ability to simulate the impact of deforestation on the hydrological ...
Understanding Controls on Historical River Discharge in the World’s Largest Drainage Basins
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term (20 yr) river discharge records from 30 of the world?s largest river basins have been used to characterize surface hydrologic flows in relation to net precipitation inputs, ocean climate teleconnections, and human ...
Twentieth-Century Sea Surface Temperature Patterns in the Pacific during Decadal Moisture Regimes over the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three great moisture anomalies were observed during the twentieth century over the western United States: a pluvial from 1905 to 1917, the Dust Bowl drought (1929?40), and the Southwestern drought of 1946?56. A composite ...
Variability in Springtime Thaw in the Terrestrial High Latitudes: Monitoring a Major Control on the Biospheric Assimilation of Atmospheric CO2 with Spaceborne Microwave Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Evidence is presented from the satellite microwave remote sensing record that the timing of seasonal thawing and subsequent initiation of the growing season in early spring has advanced by approximately 8 days from 1988 ...
Croplands in West Africa: A Geographically Explicit Dataset for Use in Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: West Africa has experienced increases in cultivated lands over the last 50 yr, as well as increasing rates of deforestation. Croplands have expanded to meet the food demands of a rapidly increasing population. Nevertheless, ...
Land Use—Iron Pollution in Mangrove Habitat of Karachi, Indus Delta
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The coastal area of Karachi, Pakistan, which lies at the northwestern part of the Indus delta, is heavily polluted particularly in the mangrove habitat. The present study traces the pathway of trace metal iron from the ...
Land-Cover Change Analyses in the Volta Basin of Ghana
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images for 1984, 1992, and 1999 were used to map and detect land-cover changes in a 5400-km2 area within the Volta Lake basin of Ghana. The most dominant land-cover change was the ...
Impacts of Climate Variation and Catchment Area on Water Balance and Lake Hydrologic Type in Groundwater-Dominated Systems: A Generic Lake Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lakes are a major geologic feature in humid regions, and multiple lake hydrologic types exist with varying physical and chemical characteristics, connections among lakes, and relationships to the landscape. The authors ...
