Alternative Approaches to Display of Usgs Land Use/land Cover Digital Data
This paper outlines a procedure for converting the USGS GEODATA Land Use and Land Cover files into polygon and raster formats that are compatible with several widely used software systems. Examples are included for SAS/GRAPH®, GIMMS and MAP. There is also a discussion of an approach to handling the grid format on IBM-PCs and color frame buffer systems.
متن کاملERA-Interim/Land: a global land surface reanalysis data set
ERA-Interim/Land is a global land surface reanalysis data set covering the period 1979–2010. It describes the evolution of soil moisture, soil temperature and snowpack. ERA-Interim/Land is the result of a single 32-year simulation with the latest ECMWF (European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasts) land surface model driven by meteorological forcing from the ERA-Interim atmospheric reanaly...

متن کاملEstimating Land Surface Albedo from Satellite Data
Title: ESTIMATING LAND SURFACE ALBEDO FROM SATELLITE DATA Tao He, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed by: Dr. Shunlin Liang, Professor Department of Geographical Sciences Land surface albedo, defined as the ratio of the surface reflected incoming and outgoing solar radiation, is one of the key geophysical variables controlling the surface radiation budget. Surface shortwave albedo is widely use...
متن کاملImproving land surface models with FLUXNET data
There is a growing consensus that land surface models (LSMs) that simulate terrestrial biosphere exchanges of matter and energy must be better constrained with data to quantify and address their uncertainties. FLUXNET, an international network of sites that measure the land surface exchanges of carbon, water and energy using the eddy covariance technique, is a prime source of data for model imp...
