A New Climatology for Investigating Storm Influences in and on the Extratropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NASA Modeling, Analysis, and Prediction (MAP) Climatology of Mid-Latitude Storm Area (MCMS) project is a set of tools for examining midlatitude cyclones in model-generated data. The MCMS software has two primary tasks. ...
Composite Analysis of Winter Cyclones in a GCM: Influence on Climatological Humidity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of midlatitude baroclinic cyclones in maintaining the extratropical winter distribution of water vapor in an operational global climate model is investigated. A cyclone identification and tracking algorithm is ...
Observed and Simulated Temperature–Humidity Relationships: Sensitivity to Sampling and Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that the correlation between interannual variations of large-scale average temperature and water vapor is stronger and less height dependent in one GCM than in an objective analysis of ...
Observational Constraints on the Cloud Thermodynamic Phase in Midlatitude Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The conditions under which supercooled liquid water gradually gives way to ice in the mixed-phase regions of clouds are still poorly understood and may be an important source of cloud feedback uncertainty in general ...
Cloud Vertical Distribution across Warm and Cold Fronts in CloudSat–CALIPSO Data and a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud vertical distributions across extratropical warm and cold fronts are obtained using two consecutive winters of CloudSat?Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) observations and ...
Present-Day Atmospheric Simulations Using GISS ModelE: Comparison to In Situ, Satellite, and Reanalysis Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A full description of the ModelE version of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and results are presented for present-day climate simulations (ca. 1979). This version ...
