Global Distribution and Density of Constructed Impervious Surfaces [PDF]
Sensors, 2007 We present the first global inventory of the spatial distribution and density ofconstructed impervious surface area (ISA). Examples of ISA include roads, parking lots,buildings, driveways, sidewalks and other manmade surfaces. While high spatialresolution is required to observe these features, the new product reports the estimateddensity of ISA on a ...

Contribution of impervious surfaces to urban evaporation [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 2014 AbstractObservational data and the Princeton urban canopy model, with its detailed representation of urban heterogeneity and hydrological processes, are combined to study evaporation and turbulent water vapor transport over urban areas. The analyses focus on periods before and after precipitation events, at two sites in the Northeastern United States ...
