RISEvaluation of the Hydrological Cycle over the Mississippi River Basin as Simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water cycle over a given region is governed by many complex multiscale interactions and feedbacks, and their representation in climate models can vary in complexity. To understand which of the key processes require ...
Investigation of the Sensitivity of Water Cycle Components Simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model to the Land Surface Parameterization, the Lateral Boundary Data, and the Internal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the sensitivity of components of the hydrological cycle simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) to lateral boundary forcing, the complexity of the land surface scheme (LSS), and the ...
A Semi-Implicit Semi-Lagrangian Regional Climate Model: The Canadian RCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new regional climate model (RCM) is presented in this paper and its performance is investigated through a pair of 60-day simulations. This new model is based on the dynamical formulation of the Cooperative Centre for ...
An Investigation of Summer Precipitation Simulated by the Canadian Regional Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present paper, a 5-yr baseline integration for the period 1987?91 was carried out over a Pan-Canadian domain to validate the performance of the third-generation Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM). The CRCM ...
Quantification of the Lateral Boundary Forcing of a Regional Climate Model Using an Aging Tracer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present work introduces a new and useful tool to quantify the lateral boundary forcing of a regional climate model (RCM). This tool, an aging tracer, computes the time the air parcels spend inside the limited-area ...
Evaluating the Time-Invariance Hypothesis of Climate Model Bias Correction: Implications for Hydrological Impact Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he bias correction of climate model outputs is based on the main assumption of the time invariance of the bias, in which the statistical relationship between observations and climate model outputs in the historical period ...
Internal Variability of the Canadian RCM’s Hydrological Variables at the Basin Scale in Quebec and Labrador
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of a regional climate model?s (RCM?s) internal variability (IV) on climate statistics of annual series of hydrological variables is investigated at the scale of 21 eastern Canada watersheds in Quebec and Labrador. ...
Role of Natural Climate Variability in the Detection of Anthropogenic Climate Change Signal for Mean and Extreme Precipitation at Local and Regional Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractClimate change will impact both mean and extreme precipitation, having potentially significant consequences on water resources. The implementation of efficient adaptation measures must rely on the development of ...
Predictability of a Nested Limited-Area Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note investigates the nature of the extended predictability commonly attributed to high-resolution limited-area models (LAM) nested with low-resolution data at their lateral boundaries. LAM simulations are performed ...
