The Impact Of Wildfire On The Land Surface Parameters Of A Semi-Arid Grassland In The Southwestern U.S.
Meyers, T. P., Krishnan, P., Heuer, M., Kochendorfer, J., Diamond, H. J.

Just before the installation of a long-term energy/carbon flux tower site at the 10,000-acre Appleton-Whittle Research Ranch in southern Arizona, a wildfire burned nearly 90 % of this semi-arid grassland area in the region and there was little vegetation remaining on the surface. Wildfires in this region occur roughly every 7 – 15 …

G., Souza, L. S., Galvincio, J. D., von Randow, C., Verhoef, A., Bezerra, B. G., Silva, C. M., Antonino, A. C., Menezes, R. S.

Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (SDTFs) may act as considerable carbon sinks, regulating the atmospheric and terrestrial carbon storage and fluxes with implications for local, regional and global climates. In the Caatinga, an endemic Brazilian SDTF, the research on the magnitude of the CO2 sink is still incipient. To address this …

Over Three Decades, And Counting, Of Near-Surface Turbulent Flux Measurements From The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (Arm) User Facility
Sullivan, R. C., Billesbach, D. P., Biraud, S., Chan, S., Hart, R., Keeler, E., Kyrouac, J., Pal, S., Pekour, M., Sullivan, S. L., Theisen, A., Tuftedal, M., Cook, D. R.

Processes mediating the coupling of terrestrial, aquatic, biospheric, and atmospheric systems influence weather, climate, and ecosystem dynamics via transfer of energy, momentum, water, and carbon (or other species). These exchange processes are quantified by measurements of near-surface turbulent fluxes. Understanding processes …

Using GNSS-based vegetation optical depth, tree sway motion, and eddy covariance to examine evaporation of canopy-intercepted rainfall in a subalpine forest
Burns, S. P., Humphrey, V., Gutmann, E. D., Raleigh, M. S.,, Bowling, D. R., Blanken, P. D.

Recent advances in the measurement of water content within a forest have led to new possibilities to study canopy evaporation. We used a pair of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers (one above the canopy and one near the forest floor) to calculate the vegetation optical depth (VOD) during the warm season in a Colorado …

Dynamics of evapotranspiration from concurrent above- and below-canopy flux measurements in a montane Sierra Nevada forest
Wolf, S., Paul-Limoges, E., Sayler, D., Kirchner, J. W.

Evapotranspiration (ET) from the land surface to the atmosphere is a major component of Earth’s water cycle, and comprises both transpiration (T) of xylem water from plants and evaporation (E) of water from soils and vegetation surfaces. These two component fluxes respond differently to changes in temperature, water availability …

Diurnal to seasonal dynamics of saline pan evaporation and groundwater level fluctuations, Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA
Bernau, J. A., Bowen, B. B., Inkenbrandt, P. C., Pardyjak, E. R., Kipnis, E. L.

Saline pans are environments with ephemeral to persistent evaporite crusts, surface and groundwater brine, little to no vegetation, and low topographic gradients. These characteristics make them sensitive to diverse hydrological processes. This research provides guidance on assessing and interpreting fluctuations in saline pan groundwater …
