A multi-scale modeling study of the impact of land surface heterogeneity on the convective boundary layer in the U.S. Midwest
Rain fed agricultural land is the predominant land cover class in the U.S. Midwest. The interannual and sub-seasonal climate variability of this region are determined by atmospheric oscillations on multiple temporal and spatial scales. The principal factors contributing to the growing season …

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 …

Impacts of Land-Atmosphere Interactions on Regional Convection and Rainfall
… simulating the interaction between the land surface and regional convection and rainfall is a source of uncertainties and presents three main barriers: (i) NWP models generally have simple land surface schemes, (ii) land-atmosphere coupling is not properly represented in models, and …
