Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2009:;volume( 048 ):;issue: 008:;page 1682

Author(s): Bendix, Jörg; Trachte, Katja; Cermak, Jan; Rollenbeck, Rütger; Nauß, Thomas

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This study examines the seasonal and diurnal dynamics of convective cloud entities?small cells and a mesoscale convective complex?like pattern?in the foothills of the tropical eastern Andes. The investigation is based on ...

Ground Fog Detection from Space Based on MODIS Daytime Data—A Feasibility Study

Source: Weather and Forecasting:;2005:;volume( 020 ):;issue: 006:;page 989

Author(s): Bendix, Jörg; Thies, Boris; Cermak, Jan; Nauß, Thomas

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The distinction made by satellite data between ground fog and low stratus is still an open problem. A proper detection scheme would need to make a determination between low stratus thickness and top height. Based on this ...

Challenges in Combining Projections from Multiple Climate Models

Source: Journal of Climate:;2009:;volume( 023 ):;issue: 010:;page 2739

Author(s): Knutti, Reto; Furrer, Reinhard; Tebaldi, Claudia; Cermak, Jan; Meehl, Gerald A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Recent coordinated efforts, in which numerous general circulation climate models have been run for a common set of experiments, have produced large datasets of projections of future climate for various scenarios. Those ...
