Sea surface wind speed estimation from space-based lidar measurements
Global satellite observations of lidar backscatter measurements acquired by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission and collocated sea surface wind speed data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), are used to investigate the relation between wind driven wave slope variance and sea surface wind spe...
متن کاملGlobal ocean storage of anthropogenic carbon
The global ocean is a significant sink for anthropogenic carbon (Cant), absorbing roughly a third of human CO2 emitted over the industrial period. Robust estimates of the magnitude and variability of the storage and distribution of Cant in the ocean are therefore important for understanding the human impact on climate. In this synthesis we review observational and model-based estimates of the s...
متن کاملOcean stoichiometry, global carbon, and climate.
Autotrophs bridge the nonliving (CO2) and living (organic carbon) realms by fixing carbon through photosynthesis. All life is based on multiple functions that differ in their elemental requirements, and homeostasis of cellular composition is one of the hallmarks of life. Nevertheless, autotrophs on land and in water have the biological potential to adjust their nutrient content in response to n...
متن کاملClimate legacies drive global soil carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems
Climatic conditions shift gradually over millennia, altering the rates at which carbon (C) is fixed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil. However, legacy impacts of past climates on current soil C stocks are poorly understood. We used data from more than 5000 terrestrial sites from three global and regional data sets to identify the relative importance of current and past (Last Glacial Ma...
متن کاملUpconversion-based lidar measurements of atmospheric CO2.
For the first time an upconversion based detection scheme is demonstrated for lidar measurements of atmospheric CO2-concentrations, with a hard target at a range of 3 km and atmospheric backscatter from a range of ~450 m. The pulsed signals at 1572 nm are upconverted to 635 nm, and detected by a photomultiplier tube, to test how the upconversion technology performs in a long range detection sys...
