MARC recordSnow-mass intercomparisons in the boreal forest from general circulation models and remotely sensed data sets / James Foster, and 9 others.
| Title: | Snow-mass intercomparisons in the boreal forest from general circulation models and remotely sensed data sets / James Foster, and 9 others. |
| Author(s): | Foster, James. |
| Date: | 1996. |
| In: | Polar Record. (1996.), Vol. 32(182) (1996) |
| Abstract: | Comparisons are made of snow mass in the boreal forests of North America and Eurasia, using data from a snow depth climatology, passive microwave data from Nimbus-7 SMMR, and output from climate models. There appears to be an underestimation of snow mass in North America due to effect of vegetation on the microwave signal. Seasonal differences were also observed in the models. |
