This paper uses published work to demonstrate the link between surface moisture and heat
fluxes and cumulus convective rainfall. The Earth's surface role with respect to the surface …

This paper overviews the short‐term (biophysical) and long‐term (out to around 100 year
timescales; biogeochemical and biogeographical) influences of the land surface on weather …

A high‐resolution mesoscale model was used to investigate the impact of deforestation in
Amazonia. Coherent mesoscale circulations were triggered by the surface heterogeneity; …

Atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations predict that a complete
deforestation of the Amazon basin would lead to a significant climate change; however, it is …

This study documents significant atmospheric effects over the US central plains caused by
human modification of the landscape. Using observations and an atmospheric model, it is …

The continental tropics play a leading role in the terrestrial energy, water, and carbon cycles.
Land–atmosphere interactions are integral in the regulation of these fluxes across multiple …

Several theoretical studies have been reported in recent years which have indicated that
large-scale wind farms can have an impact on local and regional meteorology, possibly on …

While the signs of the sensitivities of surface temperature (T s) to land use and land cover
change‐induced biophysical changes are relatively well understood, their exact magnitude …

A 14-yr climatology of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) collocated multisensor
signal statistics reveals a distinct land–ocean contrast as well as geographical variability of …

Evidence from both meteorological stations and vegetational successional studies suggests
that summer temperatures are decreasing in the mountain‐plain system in northeast …
