Abstract: To explicitly describe the energy exchange between meso and synoptic-scale motions, a diagnostic scheme of kinetic energy has been developed. By using a horizontal filtering technique, meteorological variables are separated ...

Abstract: In comparison to the Tatsumi?s spectral method, the harmonic-Fourier spectral method has two major advantages. 1) The semi-implicit scheme is quite efficient because the solutions of the Poisson and Helmholtz equations are ...

Abstract: A real-time quasi-geostrophic omega diagnostic scheme, based on Hoskins' Q-vector analysis and developed by Barnes, was applied to a cold mesoscale vortex with severe convection over northeast China in summer. The limited ...

Abstract: Meteorological station records and regional climate model output are combined to develop a continuous 168-yr (1840?2007) spatial reconstruction of monthly, seasonal, and annual mean Greenland ice sheet near-surface air ...

Abstract: A version of the state-of-the-art Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) has been developed for use in polar climates. The model known as ?Polar WRF? is tested for land areas with a western Arctic grid that has 25-km ...

Abstract: AbstractLarge-scale objectively analyzed gridded products and satellite estimates of sensible (H) and latent (LE) heat fluxes over the extratropical Northern Hemisphere are compared to those derived from the regional Arctic ...

Abstract: ceanic melting at the base of the floating Antarctic ice shelves is now thought to be a more significant cause of mass loss for the Antarctic ice sheet than iceberg calving. In this study, a 10-km horizontal-resolution ...

Abstract: Regional climate model runs using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesocale Model modified for use in polar regions (Polar MM5), calibrated by independent in situ ...
