On the predictability of land surface fluxes
The land surface is a key component in the earth’s climate system, and is one of the main contributors to uncertainty in climate projections. Fluxes of energy, momentum, water and carbon between the land surface and the atmosphere provide important feedbacks in the climate system. Land surface …

Variational sensitivity analysis and data assimilation studies of the coupled land surface-atmospheric boundary layer system
… of Earth system science is understanding coupled land-atmosphere processes. The land plays an especially important role in the climate system principally via the regulation of surface fluxes of moisture and energy into the atmosphere. Due to the mutual dependence of these fluxes on surface and …

Optimality and resilience in patterns of carbon allocation and growth in vegetation under acclimation response to climate change
… response of plants significantly alters the land surface fluxes of water, carbon and energy thereby impacting the hydrologic cycle. Furthermore, the consequences of this acclimation on agricultural ecosystems is critical in tackling future food security issues. In this study we investigate …

Characterizing uncertainty for regional carbon cycle modeling
… from natural processes, disturbance of the land surface and fossil fuel combustion, and the magnitude of accumulated CO2 in the atmosphere as measured by the global flask network indicates that there must be a terrestrial and/or oceanic repository for the unaccounted carbon. The imbalance in …
