Near-Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain: Daily Predictions of Fine-Scale (30 m) Temperature in the Snake Range, Nevada, USA
Air temperature is arguably the most important component of the mountain climate, and scientists have been studying it for centuries. Recently, researchers have used arrays of inexpensive temperature sensors to observe and understand temperature across the landscape. Much of this work has focused …

Reconstruction of multiple climate variables at high spatiotemporal resolution based on Big Earth data platform
… datasets including: mountainous solar radiation, near-surface air temperature datasets over rugged terrain, five distinct metrics of long-term heat wave datasets, an updated database of water and wind erosion. For further use in practice, these datasets are freely accessible and online web …

What to plant and where to plant it; Modeling the biophysical effects of North America temperate forests on climate using the Community Earth System Model
… management. We calculated the change in annual temperature and energy balance associated with afforestation with either needle leaf evergreen trees (NET) or broadleaf deciduous trees (BDT) and between forests with high and low leaf-area indices (LAI). Afforestation from crops to forests resulted …

Toward Closing the Urban Surface Energy Balance Using Satellite Remote Sensing
The energy exchanges at the Earth’s surface are responsible for many of the processes that govern weather, climate, human health, and energy use. This exchange, commonly known as the surface energy balance (SEB), determines the near-surface thermodynamic state by partitioning the available energy …

Development and Stakeholder-informed Evaluation of Global Climate Temperature Response Functions
… We present results from an application to near-surface air temperature based on ERF and temperature data taken from experiments in the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). We evaluate the emulator using additional experiments taken from the CMIP6 archive, …

A mode-based metric for evaluating global climate models
… geopotential height (GHT, 700mb and 500mb) and near surface air temperature data (TAS). The dependency of model performance on the variable measured by any metric can be a problem for model evaluation, as it introduces the choice of which variable should be measured to assess model performance. …

Wind and temperature in a glacierised Himalayan valley, and their controlling mechanisms
… local valley wind regimes and the lapse rates of near-surface temperatures, are poorly understood in the HKKH. This thesis aims to improve understanding of the valley wind regime and temperature lapse rate for the glacierised Dudh Koshi River Basin in the Nepalese Himalaya, which includes the …
