RISDevelopment and Analysis of Prognostic Equations for Mesoscale Kinetic Energy and Mesoscale (Subgrid Scale) Fluxes for Large-Scale Atmospheric Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale circulations generated by landscape discontinuities (e.g., sea breezes) are likely to have a significant impact on the hydrologic cycle, the climate, and the weather. However, these processes are not represented ...
Simulations of the Summer Hydrometeorological Processes of Lake Kinneret
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Lake Kinneret is a 168-km2 lake located in northern Israel. It provides about 50% of the drinking water consumed in this arid country. To manage correctly this vital water resource, it is essential to understand the various ...
The Regional Evapotranspiration of the Amazon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual cycle of evapotranspiration (ET) is an important component of the Amazon hydrological balance, which is of critical importance to the global water cycle. Understanding the changing water balance in this region ...
The Impact of Spatial Variability of Land-Surface Characteristics on Land-Surface Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of subgrid-scale variability of land characteristics on land-surface energy fluxes simulated in atmospheric models (e.g., GCMs) was investigated with Patchy Land-Atmosphere Interactive Dynamics (PLAID), a ...
What Controls Evapotranspiration in the Amazon Basin?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global climate models (GCMs) and regional climate models (RCMs) generally show a decrease in the dry season evapotranspiration (ET) rate over the entire Amazon basin. Based on anecdotal observations, it has been suggested ...
Impact of Land-Surface Moisture Variability on Local Shallow Convective Cumulus and Precipitation in Large-Scale Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical experiments using a state-of-the-art high-resolution mesoscale cloud model showed that land-surface moisture significantly affects the timing of onset of clouds and the intensity and distribution of precipitation. ...
The Impact of Land-Surface Wetness Heterogeneity on Mesoscale Heat Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical heat fluxes associated with mesoscale circulations generated by land-surface wetness discontinuities are often stronger than turbulent fluxes, especially in the upper part of the atmospheric planetary boundary ...
A Study of Persistence in the Land–Atmosphere System with a Fourth-Order Analytical Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a companion paper, Y. Liu and R. Avissar analyzed the features of persistence in the land?atmosphere system simulated with the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model Version 2 coupled with the ...
A Study of Persistence in the Land–Atmosphere System Using a General Circulation Model and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Persistence in the land?atmosphere system simulated with the National Center for Atmosphere Research Community Climate Model Version 2 (CCM2) coupled with the Biosphere?Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS) is examined. BATS ...
Global Hydroclimatological Teleconnections Resulting from Tropical Deforestation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Past studies have indicated that deforestation of the Amazon basin would result in an important rainfall decrease in that region but that this process had no significant impact on the global temperature or precipitation ...
