A Medium Resolution Land Cover Map of Africa
<p>Land cover datasets are important for environmental monitoring and research purposes, and can influence policy regarding natural resource allocation and exploitation. For continental scale mapping, datasets with continuous spatial coverage, a spatial resolution good enough to represent the land …

Understanding scale impacts of heterogeneity and topography on water and energy fluxes in mountain meadows using a fully-integrated hydrologic model
… and pumping is becoming increasingly important. Land cover, subsurface, and topographic heterogeneity have all been shown to control infiltration rates, subsurface flow, soil moisture, and energy flux distributions. Many hydrologic models operate at scales which do not capture the variability of …

Simulating organization of convective cloud fields and interactions with the surface
… amount of surface fluxes from below. Conversely, landscape patterns and land-cover heterogeneity may equally give rise to focused regions for deep convection triggering, in particular when patch sizes exceed 10 km. Since the convective boundary layer has a mediating function between the surface …

Role of pavements in urban energetics
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a sustained increase in temperature in urban areas as compared to adjacent rural areas. This effect is partially due to the replacement of vegetated surfaces with lower-albedo impervious surfaces (primarily made of asphalt and concrete) to make way for urban …
