The Energy Budget of the Polar Atmosphere in MERRA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: omponents of the atmospheric energy budget from the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) are evaluated in polar regions for the period 1979?2005 and compared with previous estimates, in ...
The Moisture Budget of the Polar Atmosphere in MERRA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he atmospheric moisture budget from the Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) is evaluated in polar regions for the period 1979?2005 and compared with previous estimates, accumulation ...
Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt and Its Relation to Daily Atmospheric Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMelt area is one of the most reliably monitored variables associated with surface conditions over the full Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). Surface melt is also an important indicator of surface mass balance and has ...
An Assessment of the NCEP Operational Global Spectral Model Forecasts and Analyses for Antarctica during FROST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses and medium-range numerical weather forecasts produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction are evaluated poleward of 50°S during the July 1994 special observing period of the Antarctic First Regional ...
The Atmospheric Hydrologic Cycle over the Arctic Basin from Reanalyses. Part I: Comparison with Observations and Previous Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The atmospheric moisture budget is evaluated for the region 70°N to the North Pole using reanalysis datasets of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF; ERA: ECMWF Re-Analysis) and the collaborative ...
Spatial and Temporal Variability of Antarctic Precipitation from Atmospheric Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spatial and temporal variability of net precipitation (precipitation minus evaporation/sublimation) for Antarctica derived from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts operational analyses via the ...
The Influence of Cloud and Surface Properties on the Arctic Ocean Shortwave Radiation Budget in Coupled Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of Arctic sea ice concentrations, surface albedo, cloud fraction, and cloud ice and liquid water paths on the surface shortwave (SW) radiation budget is analyzed in the twentieth-century simulations of three ...
The Atmospheric Hydrologic Cycle over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica from Operational Numerical Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Moisture budget calculations for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean (40°?72deg;S) are performed using operational numerical analyses from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the National ...
Evaluation of the Surface Representation of the Greenland Ice Sheet in a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: imulated surface conditions of the Goddard Earth Observing System model, version 5 (GEOS-5), atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) are examined for the contemporary Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS). A surface parameterization ...
Surface Energy Balance of the NCEP MRF and NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis in Antarctic Latitudes during FROST
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface energy budget in Antarctic latitudes is evaluated for the medium-range numerical weather forecasts produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and for the NCEP?National Center for ...
