Regional Climate Model Simulation Of Surface Moisture Flux Variations In Northern Terrestrial Regions
Fischer, R., Walsh, J. E., Euskirchen, E. S., Bieniek, P. A.

The wetness of high-latitude land surfaces is strongly dependent on the dif- ference between precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration (ET). If climate models are to capture the trajectory of surface wetness in high latitudes, they must be able to simulate the seasonality and variations of the surface moisture fluxes, as well as the …

Links Between Annual Surface Temperature Variation And Land Cover Heterogeneity For A Boreal Forest As Characterized By Continuous, Fibre-Optic Dts Monitoring
Saito, K., Iwahana, G., Ikawa, H., Nagano, H., Busey, R. C.

A fibre-optic DTS (distributed temperature sensing) system using Raman-scattering optical time domain reflectometry was deployed to monitor a boreal forest research site in the interior of Alaska. Surface temperatures range between −40°C in winter and 30°C in summer at this site. In parallel experiments, a fibre-optic cable sensor …

Aerodynamic canopy height (ha) is the effective height of vegetation canopy for its influence on atmospheric fluxes and is a key parameter of surface‐atmosphere coupling. However, methods to estimate ha from data are limited. This synthesis evaluates the applicability and robustness of the calculation of ha from eddy covariance …

Linking Big Models To Big Data: Efficient Ecosystem Model Calibration Through Bayesian Model Emulation
Fer, I. and Kelly, R. and Moorcroft, P. R. and Richardson, A. D. and Cowdery, E. M. and Dietze, M. C.

Data-model integration plays a critical role in assessing and improving our capacity to predict ecosystem dynamics. Similarly, the ability to attach quantitative statements of uncertainty around model forecasts is crucial for model assessment and interpretation and for setting field research priorities. Bayesian methods provide a …

Rastogi, B., Berkelhammer, M., Wharton, S., Whelan, M. E., Meinzer, F. C., Noone, D., Still, C. J.

Carbonyl sulfide (OCS) has recently emerged as a tracer for terrestrial carbon uptake. While physiological studies relating OCS fluxes to leaf stomatal dynamics have been established at leaf and branch scales and incorporated into global carbon cycle models, the quantity of data from ecosystem-scale field studies remains limited. …

The Physics And Ecology Of Mining Carbon Dioxide From The Atmosphere By Ecosystems
Baldocchi, D., Penuelas, J.

Reforesting and managing ecosystems have been proposed as ways to mitigate global warming and offset anthropogenic carbon emissions. The intent of our opinion piece is to provide a perspective on how well plants and ecosystems sequester carbon. The ability of individual plants and ecosystems to mine carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, …
