Homoclinic Dynamics: A Scenario for Atmospheric Ultralow-Frequency Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a link will be established between atmospheric ultralow-frequency variability (ULFV) and the occurrence of homoclinic dynamics in models of large-scale atmospheric flow. It is known that uncoupled atmosphere ...
Subgrid-Scale Parameterization with Conditional Markov Chains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new approach is proposed for stochastic parameterization of subgrid-scale processes in models of atmospheric or oceanic circulation. The new approach relies on two key ingredients: first, the unresolved processes are ...
Toward a Turbulence Closure Based on Energy Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA new approach to parameterizing subgrid-scale processes is proposed: The impact of the unresolved dynamics on the resolved dynamics (i.e., the eddy forcing) is represented by a series expansion in dynamical spatial ...
A Hidden Markov Model Perspective on Regimes and Metastability in Atmospheric Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, data from three atmospheric models are analyzed to investigate the existence of atmospheric flow regimes despite nearly Gaussian statistics of the planetary waves in these models. A hierarchy of models is ...
Parametric Estimation of the Stochastic Dynamics of Sea Surface Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the parameters of a stochastic?dynamical model of sea surface winds are estimated from long time series of sea surface wind observational data. The model was introduced by A. H. Monahan, who developed an ...
Stochastic Parameterization of Convective Area Fractions with a Multicloud Model Inferred from Observational Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservational data of rainfall from a rain radar in Darwin, Australia, are combined with data defining the large-scale dynamic and thermodynamic state of the atmosphere around Darwin to develop a multicloud model based on ...
Stochastic Convection Parameterization with Markov Chains in an Intermediate-Complexity GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onditional Markov chain (CMC) models have proven to be promising building blocks for stochastic convection parameterizations. In this paper, it is demonstrated how two different CMC models can be used as mass flux closures ...
Stochastic Parameterization: Toward a New View of Weather and Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he last decade has seen the success of stochastic parameterizations in short-term, medium-range, and seasonal forecasts: operational weather centers now routinely use stochastic parameterization schemes to represent model ...
