RISSea Surface Temperature and Large-Scale Circulation Influences on Tropical Greenhouse Effect and Cloud Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two independent sets of meteorological reanalyses are used to investigate relationships between the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) and the large-scale vertical motion of the atmosphere for spatial and seasonal ...
The Role of Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation in the Relationship between Tropical Convection and Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the authors study the influence of the large-scale atmospheric circulation on the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and tropical convection inferred from outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). ...
Observed Relationships between Cloud Vertical Structure and Convective Aggregation over Tropical Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sing the satellite-infrared-based Simple Convective Aggregation Index (SCAI) to determine the degree of aggregation, 5 years of CloudSat?CALIPSO cloud profiles are composited at a spatial scale of 10 degrees to study the ...
Comparison and Satellite Assessment of NASA/DAO and NCEP–NCAR Reanalyses over Tropical Ocean: Atmospheric Hydrology and Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares the atmospheric reanalyses that have been produced independently at the Data Assimilation Office (DAO) of Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres and at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction ...
CMIP5 Scientific Gaps and Recommendations for CMIP6
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) is an ongoing coordinated international activity of numerical experimentation of unprecedented scope and impact on climate science. Its most recent phase, the fifth phase ...
On the Correspondence between Mean Forecast Errors and Climate Errors in CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he present study examines the correspondence between short- and long-term systematic errors in five atmospheric models by comparing the 16 five-day hindcast ensembles from the Transpose Atmospheric Model Intercomparison ...
COSP: Satellite simulation software for model assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: the simulation of clouds in general circulation models (GCMs) remain a long-standing issue in climate projections, as discussed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. This highlights ...
