Decoupling of erosion and precipitation in the Himalayas
Douglas W. Burbank,Ann E. Blythe,J. Putkonen,Beth Pratt-Sitaula,Emmanuel J. Gabet,Michael E. Oskin,Ana P. Barros,T. P. Ojha +7 more
TL;DR: Observations from a meteorological network across the Greater Himalaya, Nepal, along with estimates of erosion rates at geologic timescales from low-temperature thermochronometry are combined to predict spatial variations in precipitation and slopes and correlate with gradients in both erosion rates and crustal strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The hydrology of the humid tropics
Ellen Wohl,Ana P. Barros,Nathaniel A. Brunsell,Nick A. Chappell,Michael T. Coe,Thomas W. Giambelluca,Steven T. Goldsmith,Russell S. Harmon,Jan M. H. Hendrickx,James O. Juvik,Jeffrey J. McDonnell,Fred L. Ogden +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that understanding of the key hydrological interactions in the humid tropics remains limited, and a vision of future research designed to address these shortcomings is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Western Disturbances: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of past research on WDs with a perspective to provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of knowledge to assist both researchers and policymakers, and context for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of vegetation backscatter in radar-based, soil moisture estimation
Rajat Bindlish,Ana P. Barros +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical vegetation scattering parameterization was introduced to the Integral Equation Model (IEM) in conjunction with an inversion model to retrieve soil moisture using multifrequency and multipolarization data from Spaceborne Imaging Radar C-band (SIR-C) and X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-SAR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Probing orographic controls in the Himalayas during the monsoon using satellite imagery
TL;DR: The linkages between the space-time variability of observed clouds, rainfall, large-circulation patterns and topography in northern India and the Himalayas were investigated using remote sensing data as discussed by the authors.
