RISThe Role of Forcings in the Twentieth-Century North Atlantic Multidecadal Variability: The 1940–75 North Atlantic Cooling Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractResults from a study inspecting the origins of multidecadal variability in the North Atlantic sea surface temperature (NASST) are presented. The authors target in particular the 1940?75 ?warm-to-cold? transition, ...
Changes in Tropical Cyclone Activity due to Global Warming: Results from a High-Resolution Coupled General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the possible changes that greenhouse global warming might generate in the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs). The analysis has been performed using scenario climate simulations carried out ...
The Double-ITCZ Syndrome in Coupled General Circulation Models: The Role of Large-Scale Vertical Circulation Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The double?intertropical convergence zone (DI) systematic error, affecting state-of-the-art coupled general circulation models (CGCMs), is examined in the multimodel Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth ...
Atmospheric Horizontal Resolution Affects Tropical Climate Variability in Coupled Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of atmospheric horizontal resolution on tropical variability is investigated within the modified Scale Interaction Experiment (SINTEX) coupled model, SINTEX-Frontier (SINTEX-F), developed jointly at Istituto ...
Representing El Niño in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere GCMs: The Dominant Role of the Atmospheric Component
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A systematic modular approach to investigate the respective roles of the ocean and atmosphere in setting El Niño characteristics in coupled general circulation models is presented. Several state-of-the-art coupled models ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A EUROPEAN MULTIMODEL ENSEMBLE SYSTEM FOR SEASONAL-TO-INTERANNUAL PREDICTION (DEMETER)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multi-model ensemble-based system for seasonal-to-interannual prediction has been developed in a joint European project known as DEMETER (Development of a European Multimodel Ensemble Prediction System for Seasonal to ...
The CIRCE Simulations: Regional Climate Change Projections with Realistic Representation of the Mediterranean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rticle, the authors describe an innovative multimodel system developed within the Climate Change and Impact Research: The Mediterranean Environment (CIRCE) European Union (EU) Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) project and ...
HyMeX: A 10-Year Multidisciplinary Program on the Mediterranean Water Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: erranean countries are experiencing important challenges related to the water cycle, including water shortages and floods, extreme winds, and ice/snow storms, that impact critically the socioeconomic vitality in the area ...
Med-CORDEX Initiative for Mediterranean Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Mediterranean is expected to be one of the most prominent and vulnerable climate change ?hotspots? of the twenty-first century, and the physical mechanisms underlying this finding are still not clear. Furthermore, complex ...
