An estimation of the land-atmosphere coupling strength in South America using the Global Land Data Assimilation System
(Wiley, 2015-03)
The aim of this study is to identify regions of strong land surface –atmosphere coupling for the austral summer over South America. To accomplish this, a statistical methodology is applied to estimate the interactions of ...
Does the HadGEM3-GC3.1 GCM overestimate land precipitation at high resolution? A constraint based on observed river discharge
(American Meteorological Society, 2021-06)
Previous studies showed that high-resolution GCMs overestimate land precipitation when compared against observation-based data. Particularly, high-resolution HadGEM3-GC3.1 shows a significant precipitation increase in ...
Desertification alters the response of vegetation to changes in precipitation.
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-01)
1. Desertification is of critical concern because it may affect 40% of the global land area inhabited by more than 1 billion people. During the process of desertification, defined as land degradation in arid, semi-arid and ...
Roads and land tenure mediate the effects of precipitation on forest cover change in the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Dry forests are among the most threatened ecosystems globally, due to agricultural expansion driven by the increasing demand for food, fibers, and energy in developed and emerging countries. Among these, the forests of the ...
Emergence of robust precipitation changes across crop production areas in the 21st century
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019)
A warming climate will affect regional precipitation and hence food supply. However, only a few regions around the world are currently undergoing precipitation changes that can be attributed to climate change. Knowing when ...
Dust transport enhanced land surface weatherability in a cooling world
(European Association of Geochemistry, 2023)
The weatherability of exposed silicate rocks drives the efficiency of climatic feedback on the geological carbon cycle through silicate weathering. However, the controls and evolution of land surface weatherability are not ...
Biophysical effects on temperature and precipitation due to land cover change
Anthropogenic land cover changes (LCC) affect regional and global climate through biophysical variations of the surface energy budget mediated by albedo, evapotranspiration, and roughness. This change in surface energy ...
Seasonal and regional differences in extreme rainfall events and their contribution to the world’s precipitation: GPM observations
(Hindawi, 2019-05-30)
In the present study, five-year of precipitation features (PFs) datasets, based on Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), are used to investigate the global and regional characteristics of extreme rainfall events (EREs). ...
Evaluation of CMIP5 retrospective simulations of temperature and precipitation in northeastern Argentina
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-04)
It is generally agreed that models that better simulate historical and current features of climate should also be the ones that more reliably simulate future climate. This article describes the ability of a selection of ...
Sensitivity of WRF short-term forecasts to different soil moisture initializations from the GLDAS database over South America in March 2009
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016-01)
In Numerical Weather Prediction models it is essential to properly describe both the atmosphere and the surface initial conditions. With respect to the last, a major issue is the difficulty to attain a correct representation ...
