On Moisture Flux of the Indian Summer Monsoon: A New Perspective
Moisture flux is the driver of the Indian summer monsoon on all space‐time scales and its accurate representation in monsoon simulation models is crucial.

Evaluating the climate effects of mid-1800s deforestation in New England, USA, using a Weather, Research, and Forecasting (WRF) Model Multi-Physics Ensemble [PDF]
The New England region of the northeastern United States has a land use history characterized by forest clearing for agriculture and other uses during European colonization and subsequent reforestation following widespread farm abandonment. Despite these

Sensible Heat Flux Measurements Near A Cold Surface [PDF]
Abstract : A unidirectional sonic anemometer with a fine wire thermocouple in conjunction with a hot film anemometer were employed to measure the turbulent fluctuating velocities of w', u' and the fluctuating temperature T'. Covariances were evaluated to compute the turbulent heat flux and the friction velocity.

Spatial Distribution of Sensible and Latent Heat Flux in the City of Basel (Switzerland)
Urban surfaces are a complex mixture of different land covers and surface materials; the relative magnitudes of the surface energy balance components therefore vary widely across a city.

Micrometeorology and heat balance over the fast ice
Micrometeorological conditions were observed over fast ice with overlying thick snow cover and underlying deep sea approximately in the center of Ongul Strait in Lutzow-Holm Bay, Antarctica, from the end of March to the beginning of December in 1990.

Earth's energy budget is a major force that drives global climate. The long-term pattern of land surface energy budget with pronounced biophysical effects on climate was normally ignored at a regional scale, particularly in Pakistan.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of circulation regimes in optically-thin, dry atmospheres [PDF]
An extensive analysis of an optically-thin, dry atmosphere at different values of the thermal Rossby number Ro and of the Taylor number Ff is per- formed with a general circulation model by varying the rotation rate {\Omega} and the surface drag {\tau ...

Modeling canopy-induced turbulence in the Earth system: a unified parameterization of turbulent exchange within plant canopies and the roughness sublayer (CLM-ml v0) [PDF]
Land surface models used in climate models neglect the roughness sublayer and parameterize within-canopy turbulence in an ad hoc manner. We implemented a roughness sublayer turbulence parameterization in a multilayer canopy model (CLM-ml v0) to test if ...
