RISPolar Climate Simulation of the NCAR CCM3,
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Present-day Arctic and Antarctic climate of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) is presented. The CCM3 simulation is from a prescribed and interannually varying sea ...
Polar Radiation Budgets of the NCAR CCM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Present-day Arctic and Antarctic radiation budgets of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) are presented. The CCM3 simulation is from a prescribed and interannually varying ...
Diurnal Heating and Cloudiness in the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the authors assess the suitability of the heating fields in the latest version of the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM2) for modeling the thermal forcing of atmospheric tides. Accordingly, diurnal variations ...
Improved Sea Ice Shortwave Radiation Physics in CCSM4: The Impact of Melt Ponds and Aerosols on Arctic Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Community Climate System Model, version 4 has revisions across all components. For sea ice, the most notable improvements are the incorporation of a new shortwave radiative transfer scheme and the capabilities that this ...
Sea Ice and Polar Climate in the NCAR CSM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Climate System Model (CSM) consists of atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea-ice components linked by a flux coupler, which computes fluxes of energy and momentum between components. The sea-ice component consists of a ...
Diurnal Coupling in the Tropical Oceans of CCSM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New features that may affect the behavior of the upper ocean in the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) are described. In particular, the addition of an idealized diurnal cycle of solar forcing where the daily ...
The CCSM4 Ocean Component
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ocean component of the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) is described, and its solutions from the twentieth-century (20C) simulations are documented in comparison with observations and those of CCSM3. The ...
The Impact of Oceanic Near-Inertial Waves on Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) is used to assess the climate impact of wind-generated near-inertial waves (NIWs). Even with high-frequency coupling, CCSM4 underestimates the strength of NIWs, so that ...
The Formulation and Atmospheric Simulation of the Community Atmosphere Model Version 3 (CAM3)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new version of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) has been developed and released to the climate community. CAM Version 3 (CAM3) is an atmospheric general circulation model that includes the Community Land Model (CLM3), ...
Climate Process Team on Internal-Wave Driven Ocean Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: cent advances in our understanding of internal-wave driven turbulent mixing in the ocean interior are summarized. New parameterizations for global climate ocean models, and their climate impacts, are introduced.
