Analysis of soil hydraulic and thermal properties for land surface modeling over the Tibetan Plateau

Land Surface Modeling with Enhanced Considerations of Soil Hydraulic Properties

Winter Mesospheric Thermal Structure over Tibetan Plateau

A mobile Rayleigh temperature lidar was deployed in Golmud (36.25°N 94.54°E), Qinghai in China for making measurements of mesosphere temperature from 55 up to 90 km. The mesospheric thermal structure was obtained during the winter seasons of Year 2013 and Year 2014. At the altitude of 57~79 km, lidar temperatures were much colder than the MSIS-00 model predictions. However, in the lower mesosph...

Variation of soil hydraulic properties with alpine grassland degradation in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Ecosystems in alpine mountainous regions are usually more vulnerable and easily be disturbed by environmental change globally. Alpine swamp meadow, a unique grassland type in the eastern Tibetan Plateau which provides important ecosystem services to the upstream and downstream regions of international rivers of Asia even the world, is undergoing severe degradation, which can dramatically alter ...

Estimation of land surface temperature retrieved from EOS/MODIS in Naqu area over Tibetan Plateau

Using split window algorithms developed by Sobrino, added a suff icient and simple cloud detection process for MODIS L1B data. Then based on land surface classif ication (land, water, snow & ice), retrieved four land surface temperature images for clear sky in Naqu area over Tibetan Plateau in January, April, June and October in 2007, respectively. After that the derived LST was compared with t...

The land surface water and energy budgets over the Tibetan

10
 Tibetan Plateau plays an important role in the Asian Monsoon and global general 11
 circulation system. Due to the lack of quantitative observations and complicate cold 12
 season processes in high elevation terrain, however, the land surface water and energy 13
 budgets are still unexplored over this special region. In this study, the water and energy 14
 balances are detail analyzed based...
