Mapping Atmospheric Moisture Climatologies across the Conterminous United States
Spatial climate datasets of 1981-2010 long-term mean monthly average dew point and minimum and maximum vapor pressure deficit were developed for the conterminous United States at 30-arcsec (~800m) resolution. Interpolation of long-term averages (twelve monthly values per variable) was performed using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Relationships on Independent Slopes Model). Surface stations availab...
متن کاملA Growing-Season Hydroclimatology, Focusing on Soil Moisture Deficits, for the Ohio Valley Region
A hydroclimatology, or description of long-term means and interannual variation, that focuses on soil moisture deficits was constructed for the period of 1895–1998 for a six-state region composing the Ohio Valley. The term ‘‘deficit’’ is considered from an agricultural point of view whereby moisture-induced crop stress is a combination of insufficient precipitation and soil moisture. Of particu...
متن کاملBenchmarking historical CMIP5 plant functional types across the Upper Midwest and Northeastern United States
Centennial-scale climate-ecosystem feedbacks are a major source of predictive uncertainty for land-atmosphere fluxes of energy, carbon, and water. Accurate representations of plant functional type (PFT) distributions through time and space are required for modeling centennial-scale feedbacks within Earth system models (ESMs). We tested the ability of ESMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison ...
متن کاملSoil mercury and its response to atmospheric mercury deposition across the northeastern United States.
Terrestrial soil is a large reservoir of atmospherically deposited mercury (Hg). However, few studies have evaluated the accumulation of Hg in terrestrial ecosystems in the northeastern United States, a region which is sensitive to atmospheric Hg deposition. We characterized Hg and organic matter in soil profiles from 139 sampling sites for five subregions across the northeastern United States ...
متن کاملBenchmarking and Calibration of Forest Vegetation Simulator Individual Tree Attribute Predictions Across the Northeastern United States
period (5 years) after updating the individual tree-mortality submodel in FVS’s Southern variant (Radtke et al. 2012). On the other hand, Rijal et al. (2012a, 2012b) recently found refitting FVS-NE tree height and crown ratio equations to be ineffective for improving predictions when compared to utilizing a different equation form for several species in Maine. This suggests that effectiveness o...
