    • Importance of Surface Roughness for the Local Biogeophysical Effects of Deforestation 

      Winckler, J.ORCIDiD; Reick, C. H.; Bright, R. M.ORCIDiD; Pongratz, J.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2019)
      Deforestation influences surface properties such as surface roughness, resulting in changes in the surface energy balance and surface temperature. Recent studies suggest that the biogeophysical effects are dominated by ...
