Bright air : geoprocessing thermal imagery to map the nocturnal dynamics of the boundary layer in a mountain valley

Creator:

Johnson, Christopher

Abstract:

A thermal infrared (TIR) camera is used to remotely sense the foliage temperature in a mountain valley. The foliage temperature is used as a proxy for air temperature and can be used to study and map the dynamics of the nocturnal, weak-wind boundary layer in this valley. All radiative flux...

Describing the thermal regimes of two northeastern Oregon streams

Creator:

Raven, Sonja E.

Abstract:

Two tributaries of the south fork of the Burnt River, near Unity Oregon were studied during the summers of 2000 and 2001 to determine water heating and cooling patterns. Hourly temperature data were recorded for air, water, and soil parameters at four elevations 150m apart on Barney and Stevens Creeks....

Comparison of radiative feedback variability over multiple time scales in climate model and reanalysis data

Creator:

Dalton, Meghan M.

Abstract:

In a steady state, the Earth's absorbed solar radiation (ASR) balances the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In response to a radiative forcing, that is, an external perturbation to the top of the atmosphere energy balance, the Earth's climate system adjusts until reaching a...
