Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover Variability and Change, 1915–97
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Historical and reconstructed snow cover data from stations in Canada, the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the People?s Republic of China were used to reconstruct monthly snow cover extent (SCE) fluctuations ...
The Response of Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover to a Changing Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A snowpack model sensitivity study, observed changes of snow cover in the NOAA satellite dataset, and snow cover simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 (CMIP3) multimodel dataset are used to ...
Evaluation of CLASS Snow Simulation over Eastern Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS), version 3.6.1, was run offline for the period 1990?2011 over a domain centered on eastern Canada, driven by atmospheric forcing data dynamically downscaled from ERA-Interim using ...
Interannual Variability in Reconstructed Canadian Snow Cover, 1915–1992
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Seasonal snow cover information over southern Canada was reconstructed from daily snowfall and maximum temperature data back to 1915 using a simple mass balance approach with snowmelt estimated via a calibrated temperature ...
Snow Mass over North America: Observations and Results from the Second Phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eighteen global atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) participating in the second phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP-2) are evaluated for their ability to simulate the observed spatial ...
Operational Implementation of the ISBA Land Surface Scheme in the Canadian Regional Weather Forecast Model. Part II: Cold Season Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of a modified version of the snow scheme included in the Interactions between Surface?Biosphere?Atmosphere (ISBA) land surface scheme, which was operationally implemented into the regional weather forecast ...
Application of Satellite Data for Evaluating the Cold Climate Performance of the Canadian Regional Climate Model over Québec, Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study evaluates key aspects of the snow cover, cloud cover, and radiation budget simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model, version 4 (CRCM4), coupled with two versions of the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS). ...
A Decade of Climate Scenarios: The Ouranos Consortium Modus Operandi
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a nonprofit consortium launched in 2002 with the mandate to provide climate services to its governmental, academic, and private partners. These services have focused on the impacts of climate change in the province of ...
