Potential and limitations of multidecadal satellite soil moisture observations for selected climate model evaluation studies
Soil moisture is an essential climate variable (ECV) of major importance for land–atmosphere interactions and global hydrology. An appropriate representation of soil moisture dynamics in global climate models is therefore important. Recently, a first multidecadal, observation-based soil moisture dataset has become available that provides information on soil moisture dynamics from satellite obse...
متن کاملImpacts of uncertainties in European gridded precipitation observations on regional climate analysis
Gridded precipitation data sets are frequently used to evaluate climate models or to remove model output biases. Although precipitation data are error prone due to the high spatio-temporal variability of precipitation and due to considerable measurement errors, relatively few attempts have been made to account for observational uncertainty in model evaluation or in bias correction studies. In t...
متن کاملSpatial Reallocation of Global Gridded Climate Datasets
Global climatological data are often evaluated in grids with perpendicular boundaries in a cylinder projection of the longitude and latitude circles of the earth. Typical datasets contain 10 6 to 10 8 values. Each dataset is organized in a diierent grid, according to the authors's preferences. When calculating the global radiation over the ocean, for example, it is essential that cloud data fro...
متن کاملSatellite observations of air quality, climate and volcanic eruptions
Nitrogen oxides (NOx, the collective name for NO and NO2) play an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the climate system as precursor of tropospheric ozone, an important greenhouse gas. The most important source of NOx is the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly by traffic and large power plants. Other important contributors are the burning of biomass, soil emissions and lightning. Clo...
