RISPatterns of Diurnal Marine Stratocumulus Cloud Fraction Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatial patterns of subtropical marine stratocumulus cloud fraction variability on diurnal time scales are examined using high-temporal-resolution cloud masks that are based on 30-min, 4 km ? 4 km geosynchronous infrared ...
Subdiurnal Stratocumulus Cloud Fraction Variability and Sensitivity to Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents an analysis of subtropical marine stratocumulus cloud fraction variability using a 30-min and 3° ? 3° cloud fraction dataset from 2003 to 2010. Each of the three subtropical marine stratocumulus regions ...
Quantifying Diurnal Cloud Radiative Effects by Cloud Type in the Tropical Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: loud radiative effects are examined using long-term datasets collected at the U.S. Department of Energy?s three Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Climate Research Facilities in the tropical western Pacific Ocean. ...
Ship-Based Observations of the Diurnal Cycle of Southeast Pacific Marine Stratocumulus Clouds and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he diurnal cycle of marine stratocumulus in cloud-topped boundary layers is examined using ship-based meteorological data obtained during the 2008 Variability of American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) Ocean?Cloud?Atmosphere?Land ...
Observations of Stratocumulus Clouds and Their Effect on the Eastern Pacific Surface Heat Budget along 20°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idespread stratocumulus clouds were observed on nine transects from seven research cruises to the southeastern tropical Pacific Ocean along 20°S, 75°?85°W in October?November of 2001?08. The nine transects sample a unique ...
Using the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Datasets to Evaluate Climate Models in Simulating Diurnal and Seasonal Variations of Tropical Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLong-term Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) datasets collected at the three tropical western Pacific (TWP) sites are used to evaluate the ability of the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM5) to simulate the various ...
Large-Scale Environmental Characteristics of MJOs that Strengthen and Weaken over the Maritime Continent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe characteristics of Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) events that strengthen and weaken over the Maritime Continent (MC) are examined. The real-time multivariate MJO (RMM) index is used to assess changes in global ...
Spatial Variability of the Background Diurnal Cycle of Deep Convection around the GoAmazon2014/5 Field Campaign Sites
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he isolation of the Amazon rain forest makes it challenging to observe precipitation forming there, but it also creates a natural laboratory to study anthropogenic impacts on clouds and precipitation in an otherwise pristine ...
Near-Surface Density Currents Observed in the Southeast Pacific Stratocumulus-Topped Marine Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ensity currents (i.e., cold pools or outflows) beneath marine stratocumulus clouds are characterized using 30 days of ship-based observations obtained during the 2008 Variability of American Monsoon Systems (VAMOS) ...
