Abstract
This paper attempts to provide some new understanding of the mechanical as well as thermal effects of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the circulation and climate in Asia through diagnosis and numerical experiments. The air column over the TP descends in winter and ascends in summer and regulates the surface Asian monsoon flow. Sensible heating o...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-Term Regional Estimates of Evapotranspiration for Mexico Based on Downscaled ISCCP DataJournal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 253-275 - 2010
Justin Sheffield, Eric F. Wood, Francisco Muñoz‐Arriola
Abstract
The development and evaluation of a long-term high-resolution dataset of potential and actual evapotranspiration for Mexico based on remote sensing data are described. Evapotranspiration is calculated using a modified version of the Penman–Monteith algorithm, with input radiation and meteorological data from the International Satellite Cloud...... hiện toàn bộ
Characteristics of Precipitating Convective Systems in the South Asian MonsoonJournal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 3-26 - 2011
Ulrike Romatschke, Robert A. Houze
AbstractEight years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) data show how convective systems of different types contribute to precipitation of the South Asian monsoon. The main factor determining the amount of precipitation coming from a specific system is its horizontal size. Convective intensity and/or number of embedded convective ...... hiện toàn bộ
Rainfall and Water Resources Variability in Sub-Saharan Africa during the Twentieth CenturyJournal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 41-59 - 2009
Declan Conway, A. Persechino, Sandra Ardoin‐Bardin, Hamisai Hamandawana, Claudine Dieulin, Gil Mahé
Abstract
River basin rainfall series and extensive river flow records are used to characterize and improve understanding of spatial and temporal variability in sub-Saharan African water resources during the last century. Nine major international river basins were chosen for examination primarily for their extensive, good quality flow records. A range...... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling Evapotranspiration during SMACEX: Comparing Two Approaches for Local- and Regional-Scale PredictionJournal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 6 Số 6 - Trang 910-922 - 2005
Hongbo Su, Matthew F. McCabe, Eric F. Wood, Zhongbo Su, John H. Prueger
Abstract
The Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model was developed to estimate land surface fluxes using remotely sensed data and available meteorology. In this study, a dual assessment of SEBS is performed using two independent, high-quality datasets that are collected during the Soil Moisture–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (SMACEX). The purpose ...... hiện toàn bộ
Predictability of Evapotranspiration Patterns Using Remotely Sensed Vegetation Dynamics during the North American MonsoonJournal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 103-121 - 2012
Qiuhong Tang, Enrique R. Vivoni, Francisco Muñoz‐Arriola, Dennis P. Lettenmaier
Abstract
The links between vegetation, evapotranspiration (ET), and soil moisture (SM) are prominent in western Mexico—a region characterized by an abrupt increase in rainfall and ecosystem greenup during the North American monsoon (NAM). Most regional-scale land surface models use climatological vegetation and are therefore unable to capture fully t...... hiện toàn bộ
A Global Intercomparison of Modeled and Observed Land–Atmosphere Coupling*Journal of Hydrometeorology - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 749-784 - 2012
Craig R. Ferguson, Eric F. Wood, R. K. Vinukollu
Abstract
Land–atmosphere coupling strength or the degree to which land surface anomalies influence boundary layer development—and in extreme cases, rainfall—is arguably the single most fundamental criterion for evaluating hydrological model performance. The Global Land–Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE) showed that strength of coupling and its re...... hiện toàn bộ
