Analyses Of The Spring Dust Storm Frequency Of Northern China In Relation To Antecedent And Concurrent Wind, Precipitation, Vegetation, And Soil Moisture Conditions, Xiaodong Liu, Zhi-Yong Yin, Xiaoye Zhang, Xuchao Yang Aug 2004

Analyses Of The Spring Dust Storm Frequency Of Northern China In Relation To Antecedent And Concurrent Wind, Precipitation, Vegetation, And Soil Moisture Conditions, Xiaodong Liu, Zhi-Yong Yin, Xiaoye Zhang, Xuchao Yang

Environmental and Ocean Sciences: Faculty Scholarship

The relationships between the spring (March–May) dust storm frequency (DSF) of northern China, gridded precipitation based on gauge observations, wind velocity at different geopotential heights, satellite-measured land vegetation index, and grid box soil moisture data during 1982–2001 are examined using correlation analysis and singular value decomposition methods. The results show that the spring DSF time series has strong positive correlations with the upwind wind velocity but strong negative correlations with the antecedent summer (June–August) and annual (June of the prior year to May of the current year) precipitation and soil moisture anomalies, as well as with the spring vegetation condition …

Using A Geographic Information System To Improve Special Sensor Microwave Imager Precipitation Estimates Over The Tibetan Plateau, Zhi-Yong Yin, Xiaodong Liu, Xueqin Zhang, Chih-Fang Chung Feb 2004

Using A Geographic Information System To Improve Special Sensor Microwave Imager Precipitation Estimates Over The Tibetan Plateau, Zhi-Yong Yin, Xiaodong Liu, Xueqin Zhang, Chih-Fang Chung

Environmental and Ocean Sciences: Faculty Scholarship

This study examines the potential of spatial modeling using geographic information systems (GIS) to improve the precipitation estimates based on Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) over the Tibetan Plateau. The monthly SSM/I precipitation estimates are based on the algorithm developed at the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). When using SSM/I estimates to predict station precipitation directly, the R2 values ranged from 0.005 to 0.624, with a mean of 0.334 for all months. When terrain and location variables obtained from the GIS were added to the models, the R2 …

Temperature Regulation And The Constraints Of Climate In The Eared Grebe, Hugh I. Ellis, Joseph R. Jehl Jr Feb 2003

Temperature Regulation And The Constraints Of Climate In The Eared Grebe, Hugh I. Ellis, Joseph R. Jehl Jr

Biology: Faculty Scholarship

Eared Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) encounter a variety of climatic regimes in their annual cycle. The most dramatic occur while on staging areas in autumn. We investigated the thermoregulatory abilities of the Eared Grebe to determine how they coped with these climate changes during staging. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) was higher than predicted. Mass-specific BMR was 1.212 mL O2/g·h for birds averaging 317 g. The thermoneutral zone is wide and extended from 15°C to 38°C. Minimal thermal conductance and average body temperature were not unusual. We conclude that Eared Grebes live most of the year under thermoneutral conditions and that …
