Estimates of surface soil moisture under grass covers using L-band radiometry
The scope of this study is to establish the parameters of the L-band (1.4 GHz) Microwave Emission of the Biosphere model (L-MEB) for grass covers, and to assess surface soil moisture retrievals in areas covered by grass. L-MEB parameters are key ancillary information for the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity mission (SMOS) retrieval algorithm that produces estimates of the surface soil moisture ...
متن کاملEvaluating Uncertain CO2 Abatement over the Very Long Term
Climate change research with the economic methodology of cost–benefit analysis is challenging because of valuation and ethical issues associated with the long delays between CO2 emissions and much of their potential damages, typically of several centuries. The large uncertainties with which climate change impacts are known today and the possibly temporary nature of some envisaged CO2 abatement ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...
متن کاملEstimating effective roughness parameters of the L-MEB model for soil moisture retrieval from SMAPVEX12 data
Despite the continuing efforts to improve existing soil moisture retrieval algorithms, the ability to estimate soil moisture from passive microwave observations is still hampered by problems in accurately modelling the observed microwave signal. Due to the significant influence of both soil roughness and vegetation on the measured brightness temperatures, the parameterisation of these variables...
متن کاملSpectral UV measurements in Austria from 1994 to 2006: investigations of short- and long-term changes
Influences of atmospheric variability on short-and long-term changes of spectral UV irradiance measured at the Sonnblick observatory (47.03 N, 12.57 E, 3106 m) during the period from 1994 to 2006 is studied. Measurements are performed with a Brewer ozone single spectrophotometer and with a Bentham DM150 spectroradiometer (dou-5 ble monochromator). The influence of ozone, albedo and clouds on UV...
