- P. E. Thornton, S. W. Running, M. White
- Environmental Science
- 15 March 1997
Abstract A method for generating daily surfaces of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and radiation over large regions of complex terrain is presented. Required inputs include digital elevation… Expand
Parameterization and Sensitivity Analysis of the BIOME–BGC Terrestrial Ecosystem Model: Net Primary Production Controls
- M. White, P. Thornton, S. W. Running, R. R. Nemani
- Geology

Abstract Ecosystem simulation models use descriptive input parameters to establish the physiology, biochemistry, structure, and allocation patterns of vegetation functional types, or biomes. For… Expand
Trends in the sources and sinks of carbon dioxide
- C. L. Quéré, C. L. Quéré, +29 authors F. Woodward
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2009
Efforts to control climate change require the stabilization of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. This can only be achieved through a drastic reduction of global CO2 emissions. Yet fossil fuel emissions… Expand
A general model of forest ecosystem processes for regional applications I. Hydrologic balance, canopy gas exchange and primary production processes
- S. W. Running, J. Coughlan
- Environmental Science
- 1 August 1988
An ecosystem process model is described that calculates the carbon, water and nitrogen cycles through a forest ecosystem. The model, FOREST-BGC, treats canopy interception and evaporation,… Expand
Global Terrestrial Gross and Net Primary Productivity from the Earth Observing System
- S. W. Running, P. Thornton, R. R. Nemani, J. Glassy
- Environmental Science
- 2000
Probably the single most fundamental measure of “global change” of highest practical interest to humankind is the change in terrestrial biological productivity. Biological productivity is the source… Expand
Synergistic algorithm for estimating vegetation canopy leaf area index and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active
- Y. Knyazikhin, S. W. Running
- Environmental Science, Geology
- 27 December 1998
A synergistic algorithm for producing global leaf area index and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation fields from canopy reflectance data measured by MODIS (moderate resolution… Expand
Extrapolation of synoptic meteorological data in mountainous terrain and its use for simulating forest evapotranspiration and photosynthesis
- S. W. Running, R. R. Nemani, R. Hungerford
- Biology
- 1 June 1987
A model for calculating daily microclimate conditions in mountainous terrain is presented. Maximum–minimum daily air temperatures, precipitation, and dew point are extrapolated from valley stations...

Abstract We present a reformulation of the Bristow–Campbell model for daily solar radiation, developed using daily observations of radiation, temperature, humidity, and precipitation, from 40… Expand
Regional evaporation estimates from flux tower and MODIS satellite data
- H. Cleugh, R. Leuning, Qiaozhen Mu, S. W. Running
- Environmental Science
- 15 February 2007
Abstract Two models were evaluated for their ability to estimate land surface evaporation at 16-day intervals using MODIS remote sensing data and surface meteorology as inputs. The first was the… Expand
