Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this study, the internal structure and seasonal variations of cryo‐hydrogeological features were investigated in the Fuglebekken catchment, located near the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Svalbard. Over a few years, rising air temperatures and intensified water circulation have significantly altered the distribution, extent, and state of ...

The role of surface roughness, albedo, and Bowen ratio on ecosystem energy balance in the Eastern United States [PDF]
, 2018 Land cover and land use influence surface climate through differences in biophysical surface properties, including partitioning of sensible and latent heat (e.g., Bowen ratio), surface roughness, and albedo.

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Dependence of surface albedo on snow cover duration and other snow parameters in Estonia
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 1995 The duration of snow cover, the state of surface, and the albedo in late winter to early spring are studied as climatic factors. A linear dependence of the surface albedo on the duration of snow cover has been found from the data recorded at Tartu ...

Advances in Meteorology, 2019 Surface albedo is one of the key parameters of land surface radiation and energy balance. As surface albedoes for visible and near-infrared solar radiation are quite different, solar radiation partitioning is important to parameterize the total surface ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Rising temperatures and wetter conditions in the Midcontinent of North America are influencing climate responses in trees. Dendroclimatological analyses of four exotic deciduous conifer species from Secrest Arboretum, Northeast Ohio help identify past, present and future climate‐tree interactions.

Evaluation of Arctic land snow cover characteristics, surface albedo and temperature during the transition seasons from regional climate model simulations and satellite data [PDF]
, 2014 This paper evaluates the simulated Arctic land snow cover duration, snow water equivalent, snow cover fraction, surface albedo and land surface temperature in the regional climate model HIRHAM5 during 2008-2010, compared with various satellite and ...

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.
