Call for Papers reminder for “Advances in scaling and modeling of land-atmosphere interactions”

[Ankur Desai]

Hi all, a reminder that this special collection on “Advances in scaling and modeling of land-atmosphere interactions” is still open through end of the calendar year and will likely be extended beyond that through the early part of 2022:

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/hub/jgr/journal/21698961/features/call-for-papers

Flux tower investigations, field experiments, and syntheses are welcome! Reviews, commentaries, technical method advances are welcome, too! 

Papers can be submitted to JGR: Biogeosciences, JGR: Atmospheres, Earth and Space Sciences, or Journal of Advances in Modeling of Earth Systems (JAMES). The latter two are gold open-access and the first two have open-access options.  Also, Projekt DEAL institutions in Germany can publish gold open access for no fees in any AGU journal.

Earth's surface and its biological organisms exchange heat, momentum, carbon, and water with the overlying atmosphere at a multitude of scales. However, capturing those interactions across scales remains a challenge for observing systems and Earth system models. Recent multi-investigator field experiments such as CHEESEHEAD19, FESSTVaL, SCALE-X, LAFE, HiWater-MUSOEXE, and others have led to advances in our ability to quantify cross-scale processes. Here, we solicit papers highlighting recent investigations from land-atmosphere field campaigns, including observational analyses, tests of theoretical approaches to scaling or modeling these processes, and model-based evaluation and diagnostic studies.

Sincerely,
