PUBLICATIONS: 2006

This document is a compilation of publications of the Goddard Space Flight Center Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory for calendar year 2006. Each two-page entry is a cut-and-pasted extraction from a 2006 published journal article, book chapter, symposium or conference proceedings, or technical memorandum. This provides a quick, inexpensive way to communicate our research. If you wish further information, or a reprint, please contact the author of the article or the publisher. There are two sections, the first consisting of 121 journal articles and book chapters which are arranged according to the science priorities of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise:

Algorithm Development
Atmospheric Composition
Carbon, Ecosystems and Biogeochemistry
Climate Variability and Change
Disease Monitoring
Earth Surface and Interior
Modeling and Remote Sensing Techniques
Sensor Development
Water and Energy Cycle
Weather

A second section, consisting of 41 Other Contributions (e.g. conference/symposium proceedings and technical memoranda), provides additional scientific information to the outside community.

* These group titles were added to provide a logical place for other studies that are done within the Division that do not readily fall within the NASA Earth Enterprise science priorities.

There is a total of 121 Refereed publications and a total of 41 Other Contributions.
