RISSensitivity of a Large Ensemble of Tropical Convective Systems to Changes in the Thermodynamic and Dynamic Forcings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional cloud-resolving model (CRM) is used to perform five sets of simulations of 68 deep convective cloud objects identified with Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) data to examine their ...
Numerical Simulations of Interactions between Gravity Waves and Deep Moist Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study uses a numerical model to simulate deep convection both in the Tropics over the ocean and the midlatitudes over land. The vertical grid that was used extends into the stratosphere, allowing for the simultaneous ...
Statistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part V: Relationships between Physical Properties of Marine Boundary Layer Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Relationships between physical properties are studied for three types of marine boundary layer cloud objects identified with the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) footprint data from the Tropical Rainfall ...
Cloud and Radiative Characteristics of Tropical Deep Convective Systems in Extended Cloud Objects from CERES Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The physical and radiative properties of tropical deep convective systems for the period from January to August 1998 are examined with the use of Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System Single-Scanner Footprint (SSF) ...
An Estimate of Low-Cloud Feedbacks from Variations of Cloud Radiative and Physical Properties with Sea Surface Temperature on Interannual Time Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of climate change have yet to reach a consensus on the sign and magnitude of the changes in physical properties of marine boundary layer clouds. In this study, the authors analyze how cloud and radiative ...
Statistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part III: Comparison with Cloud-Resolving Model Simulations of Tropical Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study evaluates the ability of a cloud-resolving model (CRM) to simulate the physical properties of tropical deep convective cloud objects identified from a Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES) ...
Statistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part I: Methodology and Preliminary Results of the 1998 El Niño/2000 La Niña
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents an objective classification methodology that uses Earth Observing System (EOS) satellite data to classify distinct ?cloud objects? defined by cloud-system types, sizes, geographic locations, and matched ...
Statistical Analyses of Satellite Cloud Object Data from CERES. Part II: Tropical Convective Cloud Objects during 1998 El Niño and Evidence for Supporting the Fixed Anvil Temperature Hypothesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Characteristics of tropical deep convective cloud objects observed over the tropical Pacific during January?August 1998 are examined using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission/Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System ...
Design and Construction of an Affordable Rotating Table for Classroom Demonstrations of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Principles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rotating tables have been in use for many years because of their ability to demonstrate fluid dynamical phenomena, shedding insight on the sometimes complicated or esoteric mathematics used to describe such processes. A ...
