On the Link between Summer Dry Bias over the U.S. Great Plains and Seasonal Temperature Prediction Skill in a Dynamical Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSoil moisture anomalies are expected to be a driver of summer predictability for the U.S. Great Plains since this region is prone to intense and year-to-year varying water and energy exchange between the land and ...
The Hydrological Modeling and Analysis Platform (HyMAP): Evaluation in the Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent advances in global flow routing schemes have shown the importance of using high-resolution topography for representing floodplain inundation dynamics more reliably. This study presents and evaluates the Hydrological ...
Simulation of Northern Eurasian Local Snow Depth, Mass, and Density Using a Detailed Snowpack Model and Meteorological Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Crocus snowpack model within the Interactions between Soil?Biosphere?Atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model was run over northern Eurasia from 1979 to 1993, using forcing data extracted from hydrometeorological datasets ...
Slippery Slopes: Gaining Traction in the Complex Process of Snow Model Intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Temporal Variance-Based Sensitivity Analysis of the River-Routing Component of the Large-Scale Hydrological Model ISBA–TRIP: Application on the Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he continental part of the water cycle is commonly represented with hydrological models. Yet, there are limits in their capacity to accurately estimate water storage and dynamics because of their coarse spatial resolution, ...
The AMMA Land Surface Model Intercomparison Project (ALMIP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rainfall over West Africa has been characterized by extreme variability in the last half-century, with prolonged droughts resulting in humanitarian crises. There is, therefore, an urgent need to better understand and ...
The Plumbing of Land Surface Models: Is Poor Performance a Result of Methodology or Data Quality?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Protocol for the Analysis of Land Surface Models (PALS) Land Surface Model Benchmarking Evaluation Project (PLUMBER) illustrated the value of prescribing a priori performance targets in model intercomparisons. It showed ...
An Intercomparison of Simulated Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Associated with a Mesoscale Convective System over West Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An evaluation of precipitation and evapotranspiration simulated by mesoscale models is carried out within the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) program. Six models performed simulations of a mesoscale ...
Water Balance in the Amazon Basin from a Land Surface Model Ensemble
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: espite recent advances in land surface modeling and remote sensing, estimates of the global water budget are still fairly uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the water budget of the Amazon basin based on several ...
Scientific and human errors in a snow model intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The latest snow model intercomparison identified the same modelling issues as previous iterations over 23 years. Lack of new insights are attributed partly to human errors and intercomparison projects design.Twenty-seven ...
