Observations and modeling of turbulent fluxes during melt at the shrub-tundra transition zone 1: point scale variations
Vegetation has a significant influence on snow accumulation and energy availability for snowmelt. This is particularly true in the vicinity of the arctic treeline, characterized by the alternation of shrub-tundra and open-tundra, with the former expected to spread more and more. This work considers the time variation in turbulent fluxes over two open-tundra and shrub-tundra sites, where ...

Development and integration of a subgrid urban surface scheme in a limited area model
The sub-grid model, sub-grid town energy budget (STEB), is developed in order to reproduce the surface energy budget over large urban areas. The STEB evaluates the energy budget of each building belonging to a built area by employing an accurate description of the canyon geometry. The STEB is coupled with the limited area model RAMS to simulate the urban heat island over the city of Rome, Italy. ...

Overestimated Biomass Carbon Pools of the Northern mid- and High Latitude Forests
Abstract The biomass carbon (C) stock of forests is one of key parameters for the study of regional and global carbon cycles. Literature reviews shows that inventory-based forest C stocks documented for major countries in the middle and high northern latitudes fall within a narrow range of 36–56 Mg C ha−1 with an overall area-weighted mean of 43.6 Mg C ha−1. These estimates are ...
