High-Resolution Modelling of Surface-Atmosphere Interactions and Convection Development at Nam Co Lake, Tibetan Plateau
… for the atmospheric and environmental sciences. Surface-atmosphere interactions and specifically the exchange of momentum, turbulent energy and water vapour as well as the development of convection are not only important for the surface energy balance and local water resources, but also have …

Area-average representation of land surface covers in large atmospheric models based on remotely sensed land surface cover data
… the representation of heterogeneous continental surfaces in global climate models. The problem it addressed was that current understanding of soil-vegetation-atmosphere interactions is considered only to be relevant to small plots of uniform vegetation with dimensions of the order 10-1000 m but, …

Land surface and orographic controls on precipitation patterns in the Sierra Madre Occidental and Western Ghats
Several aspects of land surface-atmosphere interactions cannot be adequately captured by climate models, due in part to inadequacies in representing small scale processes in space and time, such as diurnal cycles, convection, and cloud microphysics. Individual and collaborative efforts using …

Trends and interannual variability in snowpack and spring season hydroclimatology in the southwestern United States
… (NLDAS-2) Phase 2, run with the Mosaic land surface model, to investigate the effects of recent historical trends and interannual variability (1979-2009) on land surface hydroclimatology in the Southwest U.S. There are multiple feedback mechanisms by which snowpack in the southwestern U.S. …

Soil moisture dynamics from satellite observations, land surface modeling, and field data
… were well maintained for root zone profile and surface soil moisture time stable characteristics can be used to upper boundary for sub-surface time stability.</p><p>Through inter-comparison analysis, average soil moisture from remotely sensed measurements, ground-based measurements, and land …

Simulating organization of convective cloud fields and interactions with the surface
… be rooted in the thermodynamic properties of the atmosphere and in the turbulent to mesoscale dynamics of the flow. Such structure may contribute to the transition between shallow and deep convection. The thermodynamic state of the boundary layer is forced by the amount of surface fluxes from …
