Title:Sensible heat transfer parameterization for surfaces with anisothermal dense vegetation.
Publication:J. Atmos. Sci., 23, 2, 209-216
Abstract:The scaler roughness for sensible heat can be directly formulated in terms of the surface temperature. Therefore, in the case of an anisothermal vegetation canapy, the concept of a scalar roughness is ill defined and it may vary greatly depending on the method and scale of measurement of the surface temperature.

Title:The impact of vegetation on the atmospheric boundary layer and convective storms.
Publication:Atmos. Sci. Paper Number 509.
Abstract:Intro: It is well known that virtually all motions in the atmosphere are ultimately fueled by energy received from the sun. Incoming solar energy can be absorbed in the atmosphere directly by gases, clouds or aerosols. However, much of this energy is absorbed at the earth's surface and returned to the atmosphere as sensible and latent heat fluxes.

Abstract:The human species has been modifying the landscape long before the development of modern agrarian techniques. Much of the land area of the conterminous United States is currently used for agricultural production. In certain regions this change in vegetative cover from its natural state may have led to local climate change.

Title:Urban Modifications in a Mesoscale Meteorological Model and the Effects on Near-Surface Variables in an Arid Metropolitan Region
Publication:J. Appl. Met., 44, 1281-1297
Abstract:A refined land cover classification for the arid Phoenix (Arizona) metropolitan area and some simple modifications to the surface energetics were introduced in the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5).

Title:Aerosol properties and air pollutants over an urban area
Publication:Atmos. Res., 82, 643-651.
Abstract:For a better understanding of urban aerosols, sun/sky photometry has been undertaken at the Kinki University campus in Higashi-Osaka as a NASA/AERONET station since 2002. A new instrument, the SPM-613D (Kimoto Electric), has been taking measurements at the same site since March 15, 2004.

Title:Influence of wildfire induced land-cover changes on clouds and precipitation in Interior Alaska--A case study
Publication:Atmos. Res., 84, 142-168.
Abstract:As especially observed during the 2004 Alaska fire season, huge wildfires drastically alter land cover leading to a change in the dynamic (roughness length), radiative (abledo, emissivity), vegetative (vegetation type and fraction, stmoatal resistance), thermal ...

Title:Urban Modification in a Mesoscale Model and the Effects on the Local Circulation in the Pearl River Delta Region
Publication:Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 46, 457-476.
Abstract:The Pearl River Delta (PRD) region, located in the southern part of Guangdong Province in China, is one of the most rapidly developing regions in the world. The evolution of local and regional sea-breeze circulation (SBC) is believed to be responsible for forming meteorological conditions for high air-pollution episodes in the PRD.

Title:Impact of Increasing Urban Density on Local Climate: Spatial and Temporal Variations in the Surface Energy Balance in Melbourne, Australia
Publication:Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 46, 477-493.
Abstract:Variations in urban surface characteristics are known to alter the local climate through modification of land surface processes that influence the surface energy balance and boundary layer and lead to distinct urban climates.
