RISTropical Cloud Feedbacks and Natural Variability of Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of natural variability by two GCMs are examined. One GCM is a sector model, allowing relatively rapid integration without simplification of the model physics, which would potentially exclude mechanisms of ...
Implementation of Subgrid Cloud Vertical Structure inside a GCM and Its Effect on the Radiation Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The GISS (Goddard Institute for Space Studies) GCM (general circulation model) predicts stratiform and convective cloud cover and optical thickness at nine atmospheric levels in horizontal grid boxes of 4° lat ? 5° long. ...
A Second-Order Closure Turbulence Model: New Heat Flux Equations and No Critical Richardson Number
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We formulate a new second-order closure turbulence model by employing a recent closure for the pressure–temperature correlation at the equation level. As a result, we obtain new heat flux equations that avoid the long-standing ...
The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E), a field program jointly led by the U.S. Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program and the National Aeronautics and Space ...
Tropical and Subtropical Cloud Transitions in Weather and Climate Prediction Models: The GCSS/WGNE Pacific Cross-Section Intercomparison (GPCI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: model evaluation approach is proposed in which weather and climate prediction models are analyzed along a Pacific Ocean cross section, from the stratocumulus regions off the coast of California, across the shallow convection ...
