RISMeso-β Scale Potential Vorticity Anomalies and Rainbands Part II: Moist Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional semigeostrophic frontogenesis model is used to study meso-? scale potential vorticity anomalies as a possible cause for rainbands in midlatitude cyclones. The model includes water vapor and allows the ...
Meso-βScale Potential Vorticity Anomalies and Rainbands. Part I: Adiabatic Dynamics of Potential Vorticity Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics of mesoscale anomalies in the potential vorticity field is examined in a two-dimensional, semigeostrophic adiabatic frontogenesis model. Scale analyses and numerical simulations show that height- dependent ...
The Sensitivity of the Simulated Normal and Enhanced C02 Climates to Different Heat Transport Parameterizations in a Two-Dimensional Multilevel Energy Balance Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Atmospheric sensible and latent heat fluxes constitute an important component of the total poleward energy transport in the climate system. The authors investigate the relative role of these heat fluxes in normal and ...
Modeling and Scaling Coupled Energy, Water, and Carbon Fluxes Based on Remote Sensing: An Application to Canada’s Landmass
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land surface models (LSMs) need to be coupled with atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) to adequately simulate the exchanges of energy, water, and carbon between the atmosphere and terrestrial surfaces. The ...
