Response of Atmospheric Dynamics to Changes in Surface Conditions
Entry ID:
USDA0585
Summary
Abstract:
"Response of Atmospheric Dynamics to Changes in Surface
Conditions" is a General Circulation Model (GCM) output from model simulations with various land surface configurations and boundary conditions. Its purpose is to improve understanding of the climatological relationship between precipitation distributions and land surface properties such as soil wetness, ...  Geographic Coverage
