An Urban Parameterization for a Global Climate Model. Part II: Sensitivity to Input Parameters and the Simulated Urban Heat Island in Offline Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a companion paper, the authors presented a formulation and evaluation of an urban parameterization designed to represent the urban energy balance in the Community Land Model. Here the robustness of the model is tested ...
An Urban Parameterization for a Global Climate Model. Part I: Formulation and Evaluation for Two Cities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Urbanization, the expansion of built-up areas, is an important yet less-studied aspect of land use/land cover change in climate science. To date, most global climate models used to evaluate effects of land use/land cover ...
The National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model: CCM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The latest version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3) is described. The changes in both physical and dynamical formulation from CCM2 to CCM3 are presented. The major ...
Determining Robust Impacts of Land-Use-Induced Land Cover Changes on Surface Climate over North America and Eurasia: Results from the First Set of LUCID Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he project Land-Use and Climate, Identification of Robust Impacts (LUCID) was conceived to address the robustness of biogeophysical impacts of historical land use?land cover change (LULCC). LUCID used seven atmosphere?land ...
