RISThe Effects of Surface Longwave Spectral Emissivity on Atmospheric Circulation and Convection over the Sahara and Sahel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study quantifies the impact of the inclusion of realistic surface spectral emissivity in the Sahara and Sahel on the simulated local climate and beyond. The surface emissivity in these regions can be as low ...
Improved Representation of Surface Spectral Emissivity in a Global Climate Model and Its Impact on Simulated Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSurface longwave emissivity can be less than unity and vary significantly with frequency. However, most climate models still assume a blackbody surface in the longwave (LW) radiation scheme of their atmosphere ...
The CCSM4 Land Simulation, 1850–2005: Assessment of Surface Climate and New Capabilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper reviews developments for the Community Land Model, version 4 (CLM4), examines the land surface climate simulation of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) compared to CCSM3, and assesses new earth ...
