Aerosol optical depth over the Tibetan Plateau and its relation to aerosols over the Taklimakan Desert
[1] The Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) aerosol optical depths (AODs) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are compared with ground-based remote sensing data. The result shows that 27 out of 32 MISR AODs fall within the expected uncertainty, i.e., 0.05 or 20% AOD. The mean bias and the root mean square error between ground and satellite AODs are 0.01 and 0.03, respectively. The 7-year MISR...
متن کاملAn Improved Ångström-Type Model for Estimating Solar Radiation over the Tibetan Plateau
For estimating the annual mean of daily solar irradiation in plateau mountainous regions, observed data from 15 radiation stations were used to validate different empirical estimation methods over the Tibetan Plateau. Calibration indicates that sunshine-based site-dependent models perform better than temperature-based ones. Then, the highly rated sunshine-based Ångström model and temperature-ba...
متن کاملDoes the climate warming hiatus exist over the Tibetan Plateau?
The surface air temperature change over the Tibetan Plateau is determined based on historical observations from 1980 to 2013. In contrast to the cooling trend in the rest of China, and the global warming hiatus post-1990s, an accelerated warming trend has appeared over the Tibetan Plateau during 1998-2013 (0.25 °C decade(-1)), compared with that during 1980-1997 (0.21 °C decade(-1)). Further re...
متن کاملWinter 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...
متن کاملComparison of satellite-based evapotranspiration estimates over the Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a major role in regional and global climate. The understanding of latent heat (LE) flux can help to better describe the complex mechanisms and interactions between land and atmosphere. Despite its importance, accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) over the TP remains challenging. Satellite observations allow for ET estimation at high temporal and spatial s...
