Hydrologic regulation of plant rooting depth.
Plant rooting depth affects ecosystem resilience to environmental stress such as drought. Deep roots connect deep soil/groundwater to the atmosphere, thus influencing the hydrologic cycle and climate. Deep roots enhance bedrock weathering, thus regulating the long-term carbon cycle. However, we know little about how deep roots go and why. Here, we present a global synthesis of 2,200 root observ...
متن کاملGlobal atmospheric black carbon inferred from AERONET.
AERONET, a network of well calibrated sunphotometers, provides data on aerosol optical depth and absorption optical depth at >250 sites around the world. The spectral range of AERONET allows discrimination between constituents that absorb most strongly in the UV region, such as soil dust and organic carbon, and the more ubiquitously absorbing black carbon (BC). AERONET locations, primarily cont...
متن کاملGlobal OH trend inferred from methylchloroform measurements
Methylchloroform (MCF) measurements taken at the Atmospheric Lifetime Experiment / Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (ALE/GAGE) measurement stations are used to deduce the tropospheric OH concentration and its linear trend between 1978 and 1993. Global three-dimensional fields of OH are calculated with a transport model that includes background photochemistry. Despite the large uncertainties ...
متن کاملThe density structure around quasars inferred from optical depth statistics
We present a method for studying the proximity effect and use it to investigate the density structure around QSOs. It is based on the pixel optical depth probability distribution and its redshift evolution. We validate the method using mock spectra obtained from hydrodynamical simulations, and then apply it to a sample of 12 bright quasars at redshifts 2-3 observed with UVES at the VLT-UT2 Kuey...
متن کاملSatellite Inferred Global Climatology
Clouds are essential for life to exist on earth due to their influential climatological impact. Clouds help control the radiation balance of the earth by reflecting incoming solar radiation, a cooling process; however, clouds also act as absorbers of terrestrial infrared radiation, a warming process. This dual role is a primary motive to examine the effects clouds have on the global climate. Qu...
