Assessment of the interactions between soil–biosphere–atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model soil hydrology, using four closed-form soil water relationships and several lysimeters

Hydrologic responses of watershed assessment to land cover and climate change using soil and water assessment tool model

Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

An EKF assimilation of AMSR-E soil moisture into the ISBA land surface scheme

[1] An Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for the assimilation of remotely sensed nearsurface soil moisture into the Interactions between Surface, Biosphere, and Atmosphere (ISBA) model is described. ISBA is the land surface scheme in Météo-France’s Aire Limitée Adaptation Dynamique développement InterNational (ALADIN) Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model, and this work is directed toward providi...

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Incorporation of water vapor transfer in the JULES Land Surface Model: implications for key soil variables and land surface fluxes
