RISTemperature Trends in the NARCCAP Regional Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he skill of six regional climate models (RCMs) in reproducing short-term (24-yr), observed, near-surface temperature trends when driven by reanalysis is examined. The RCMs are part of the North American Regional Climate ...

A Brief Evaluation of Precipitation from the North American Regional Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several aspects of the precipitation climatology from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) are analyzed and compared with two other reanalyses and one set of gridded observations over a domain encompassing the ...
Precipitation Simulations Using WRF as a Nested Regional Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note examines the sensitivity of simulated U.S. warm-season precipitation in the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), used as a nested regional climate model, to variations in model setup. Numerous options ...
A Regional Modeling Study of Climate Change Impacts on Warm-Season Precipitation in the Central United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is employed as a nested regional climate model to dynamically downscale output from the National Center for Atmospheric Research?s (NCAR?s) Community Climate ...
Potential Value of Expert Elicitation for Determining Differential Credibility of Regional Climate Change Simulations: An Exercise with the NARCCAP co-PIs for the Southwest Monsoon Region of North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this brief article, we report the initial results of an expert elicitation with the co-PIs (regional climate modelers) of the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program regarding their evaluation of the ...
Towards Assessing NARCCAP Regional Climate Model Credibility for the North American Monsoon: Current Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors examine 17 dynamically downscaled simulations produced as part of the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) for their skill in reproducing the North American monsoon system. The ...
Bowing Convective Systems in a Popular Operational Model: Are They for Real?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bowing, propagating precipitation features that sometimes appear in NCEP's North American Mesoscale model (NAM; formerly called the Eta Model) forecasts are examined. These features are shown to be associated with an unusual ...

A Mechanistically Credible, Poleward Shift in Warm-Season Precipitation Projected for the U.S. Southern Great Plains?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractGlobal and regional climate model ensembles project that the annual cycle of rainfall over the southern Great Plains (SGP) will amplify by midcentury. Models indicate that warm-season precipitation will increase ...
