RISEffects of Nontropical Forest Cover on Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The albedo of a forest with snow on the ground is much less than that of snow-covered low vegetation such as tundra. As a result, simulation of the Northern Hemisphere climate, when fully forested south of a suitably chosen ...
Mechanisms of Cloud-Radiation Interaction in the Tropics and Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative forcing and latent heat associated with precipitation are the two most important diabatic processes that drive the circulation of the atmosphere. Clouds can affect radiation and vice versa. It is known that ...
Large-Scale Forcing and Cloud–Radiation Interaction in the Tropical Deep Convective Regime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The simulations of tropical convection and thermodynamic states in response to different imposed large-scale forcing are carried out by using a cloud-resolving model and are evaluated with the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere ...
Heating, Moisture, and Water Budgets of Tropical and Midlatitude Squall Lines: Comparisons and Sensitivity to Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional, time-dependent, and nonhydrostatic numerical cloud model is used to estimate the heating (Q1, moisture (Q2), and water budgets in the convective and stratiform regions for a tropical and a midlatitude ...
Use of High-Resolution Satellite Observations to Evaluate Cloud and Precipitation Statistics from Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations. Part I: South China Sea Monsoon Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud and precipitation simulated using the three-dimensional (3D) Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) model are compared to Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) rainfall ...
