Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This
understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …

Seventeen global models of terrestrial biogeochemistry were compared with respect to
annual and seasonal fluxes of net primary productivity (NPP) for the land biosphere. The …

Snow-cover information is important for a wide variety of scientific studies, water supply and
management applications. The NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution …

How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes? in:
Journal of Climate Volume 19 Issue 15 (2006) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation …

The land surface is a key component of climate models. It controls the partitioning of
available energy at the surface between sensible and latent heat, and it controls the …

To provide a background for ARM's activities at the North Slope of Alaska/Adjacent Arctic
Ocean sites, an overview is given of our current state of knowledge of Arctic cloud and …

Because the flowering and fruiting phenology of plants is sensitive to environmental cues
such as temperature and moisture, climate change is likely to alter community-level patterns …

Light absorbing particles (LAP, eg, black carbon, brown carbon, and dust) influence water
and energy budgets of the atmosphere and snowpack in multiple ways. In addition to their …

We present a computationally simple, theoretically based parameterization for the
broadband albedo of snow and ice that can accurately reproduce the theoretical broadband …

This paper evaluates the use of field data on the spatial variability of snow water equivalent
(SWE) to guide the design of distributed snow models. An extensive reanalysis of results …
