Cluster Analysis of Cloud Properties over the Southern European Mediterranean Area in Observations and a Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates how satellite observations of the cloudiness over a complex area such as the European Mediterranean area can be classified into distinct cloud regimes by application of a K-means clustering algorithm ...
Land Effect on the Diurnal Cycle of Clouds over the TOGA COARE Area, as Observed from GMS IR Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of clouds over the western equatorial Pacific region (15°S?15°N, 130°E?180°) is studied analyzing hourly GMS-4 infrared brightness temperature images during the intensive observation period (Nov 1992?Feb ...
A Density Current Parameterization Coupled with Emanuel’s Convection Scheme. Part II: 1D Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The density current parameterization coupled with Emanuel?s convection scheme, described in Part I of this series of papers, is tested in a single-column framework for continental and maritime convective systems. The case ...
Characteristics of the TOVS Pathfinder Path-B Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 1979 to present, sensors aboard the NOAA series of polar meteorological satellites have provided continuous measurements of the earth's surface and atmosphere. One of these sensors, the TIROS-N Operational Vertical ...
Modeling Land–Atmosphere Interactions over Semiarid Plains in Morocco: In-Depth Assessment of GCM Stretched-Grid Simulations Using In Situ Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Interannual Coupling between Summertime Surface Temperature and Precipitation over Land: Processes and Implications for Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: idespread negative correlations between summertime-mean temperatures and precipitation over land regions are a well-known feature of terrestrial climate. This behavior has generally been interpreted in the context of soil ...
