This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil moisture is listed as an Essential Climate Variable by the Global Climate Observing System Program. This is because soil moisture is a key factor in controlling the exchange of water and energy fluxes between the hydrosphere, biosphere, and the atmosphere through its impact on the partitioning of moisture for evapotranspiration and surface-sensible and latent heat fluxes. This characteristic of soil moisture also plays an important role within the hydrologic cycle due to its ability to control the rainfall-runoff response. Therefore, soil moisture is important in determining available water content and can have implications on water resources management for food and energy production. Thus, the evaluation of surface soil moisture at basin-scale is needed to understand spatiotemporal soil moisture trends and their implications on water resources management. Soil moisture To evaluate basin-level soil moisture trends, surface soil moisture estimates from SPoRT-LIS (0-10 cm layer) were used. Managed by NASA's Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center, the SPoRT-LIS is an observation-driven, real-time simulation of the Noah land surface model at a 3-km resolution over the full continental United States. This soil moisture product is at a higher spatial and temporal resolution than is currently available with remotely sensed satellite estimates or in situ measurements of the same product. Seasonal trend analysis was done using TIMESAT to determine soil moisture hydrometrics. Hydrometrics characterize the important seasonal components of soil moisture such as the start and end of the season and the corresponding levels of soil moisture throughout the season. To determine the TIMESAT parameter settings, a sensitivity analysis was done using soil hydrologic groups. Results from the TIMESAT analysis captured intra-annual soil moisture variability and highlighted the impact of soil texture and climate on the availability of soil moisture. Next, the hydrometrics were compared to climate and soil variables to determine the impact that they have on the seasonality trends. This was done using a regression model with a space site effect. The results showed that all three variables, precipitation, temperature, and hydrologic soil groups significantly impacted hydrometrics. Precipitation had the largest impact on the available water content, field capacity, and wilting point of the soil where temperature had the largest impact on the start, middle, and end of season dates. This shows that precipitation drives soil water storage capacity where temperature is the driver of the seasonal timing of soil water storage. However, season length was the only hydrometric that was impacted the most by hydrologic soil groups. Ecoregions were also compared to the hydrometrics. This showed that there are additional drivers that impact hydrometrics which could include land cover, land use, and topography. From this, there is a better understanding of the spatiotemproal soil moisture variations throughout the Great Plains region which can help scientists, land managers, and policy makers to make decisions concerning reservoir management, irrigation applications, and farming practices.

Download or read book Regionalizing Global Climate Variations written by Vasubandhu Misra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-04-08 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regionalizing Global Climate Variations: A Study of the Southeastern US Regional Climate provides a framework for understanding regional climate in light of the many assessment reports being released regularly by international organizations. The book emphasizes global climate variations to explore the concept of the regionalization of those variations. Focusing on the climate of the Southeastern United States as a lens, it provides a template for targeting regional climate change in the context of global variability. It includes coverage of weather extremes, such as tornadoes, cyclones, and drought, and approaches the subject from a holistic perspective, including atmospheric, oceanic, and land components. The Southeastern United States is a particularly relevant case study, given the fact that it is the largest quarter of the United States and has the most coastlines, often resulting in a higher number of extreme weather events. This practical approach to understanding climate at the regional/local scale makes the book a valuable resource for students and researchers in Meteorology, Climate Science, Oceanography, Environmental Science, and other applied sectors. - Includes descriptions of the morphology of weather extremes such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes - Discusses the influence of climate change on weather extremes - Presents a holistic or interdisciplinary approach to understanding regional climate that includes features of atmospheric science, meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In four chapters and an introduction, this book systematically helps readers understand the development of the Geographical Sciences both in China and in the world during the past 30 years. Through data analysis of methodologies including CiteSpace, TDA, qualitative analysis, questionnaires, data mining and mathematical statistics, the book explains the evolution of research topics and their driving factors in the Geographical Sciences and its four branches, namely Physical Geography, Human Geography, Geographical Information Science and Environmental Geography. It also identifies the role of the Geographical Sciences in the analysis of strategic issues such as global change and terrestrial ecosystems, terrestrial water cycle and water resources, land change, global cryosphere evolution and land surface processes on the Tibetan Plateau, economic globalization and local responses, regional sustainable development, remote sensing modelling and parameter inversion, spatial analysis and simulation, and tempo-spatial processes and modelling of environmental pollutants. It then discusses research development and inadequacy of Chinese Geographical Sciences in the above-mentioned topics, as well as in the fields including Geomorphology and Quaternary environmental change, Ecohydrology, ecosystem services, the urbanization process and mechanism, medical and health geography, international rivers and transboundary environment and resources, detection and attribution of changes in land surface sensitive components, and uncertainty of spatial information and spatial analysis. It shows that the NSFC has driven the development in all these topics and fields. In addition, the book summarises trends of the Geographical Sciences in China and the research level in major countries of the world through an overview of geographical education in colleges and universities, the analysis of publications, citations and author networks of SCI/SSCI and CSCD indexed articles, and the description of Sino-USA, Sino-UK and Sino-German cooperation. This book serves as an important reference to anyone interested in geographical sciences and related fields.
