RISDependence of Tropospheric Temperature on the Parameterization of Cumulus Convection in the GLAS Model of the General Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the simulation of seasonal change by the GLAS model of the general circulation reveals deficiencies in the simulation of tropospheric temperature and of convective cloud cover. These interrelated deficiencies ...
The Effect of Cumulus Friction on the Simulation of the January Hadley Circulation by the GLAS Model of the General Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple scheme to parameterize the vertical mixing of horizontal momentum by cumulus convection has been added to the GLAS model of the general circulation. This cumulus friction term had little effect on the simulation ...
A Model to Determine Open or Closed Cellular Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple mechanism is proposed to help explain the observed presence in the atmosphere of open or closed cellular convection. If convection is produced by cooling concentrated near the top of the cloud layer, as in radiative ...
Climatology of the Simulated Great Plains Low-Level Jet and Its Contribution to the Continental Moisture Budget of the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Great Plains region of the United States is characterized by some of the most frequent and regular occurrences of a nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ). While the LLJ is generally confined to the lowest Kilometer of the ...
Subseasonal Variations in Warm-Season Moisture Transport and Precipitation over the Central and Eastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Subseasonal variations in warm-season (May?August) precipitation over the central and eastern United States are shown to be strongly linked to variations in the moisture entering the continent from the Gulf of Mexico within ...
