Virtual Floe Ice Drift Forecast Model Intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Both sea ice forecast models and methods to measure their skill are needed for operational sea ice forecasting. Two simple sea ice models are described and tested here. Four different measures of skill are also tested. The ...
A Sea-Ice Albedo Experiment with the NMC Medium Range Forecast Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sea-ice albedo treatment currently used in the National Meteorological Center Medium Range Forecast Model was a carryover from earlier models. A more modern treatment is shown to improve forecast skill marginally, as ...
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 ...
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 ...
