Diagnostic Computation of Moisture Budgets in the ERA-Interim Reanalysis with Reference to Analysis of CMIP-Archived Atmospheric Model Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he diagnostic evaluation of moisture budgets in archived atmosphere model data is examined. Sources of error in diagnostic computation can arise from the use of numerical methods different from those used in the atmosphere ...
Mechanisms of Asian Summer Monsoon Changes in Response to Anthropogenic Forcing in CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges of the Asian summer monsoon in response to anthropogenic forcing are examined using observations and phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) multimodel, multirealization ensemble. In the twentieth ...
Atmosphere–Ocean Dynamics of Persistent Cold States of the Tropical Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Future Summer Drying in the U.S. Corn Belt and the Role of Midlatitude Storm Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Mechanism of Future Spring Drying in the Southwestern United States in CMIP5 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe net surface water budget, precipitation minus evaporation (P ? E), shows a clear seasonal cycle in the U.S. Southwest with a net gain of surface water (positive P ? E) in the cold half of the year (October?March) ...
Climatology, Variability, and Trends in the U.S. Vapor Pressure Deficit, an Important Fire-Related Meteorological Quantity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nlike the commonly used relative humidity, vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is an absolute measure of the difference between the water vapor content of the air and its saturation value and an accurate metric of the ability of ...
Causes of Increasing Aridification of the Mediterranean Region in Response to Rising Greenhouse Gases
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean region, as well as its change over the coming decades, is investigated using the Interim European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim) and phase 5 ...
Dynamical Causes of the 2010/11 Texas–Northern Mexico Drought
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he causes of the Texas?northern Mexico drought during 2010?11 are shown, using observations, reanalyses, and model simulations, to arise from a combination of ocean forcing and internal atmospheric variability. The drought ...
Causes of the 2011–14 California Drought
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he causes of the California drought during November?April winters of 2011/12?2013/14 are analyzed using observations and ensemble simulations with seven atmosphere models forced by observed SSTs. Historically, dry California ...
A Vector Autoregressive ENSO Prediction Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors investigate a sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA)-only vector autoregressive (VAR) model for prediction of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). VAR generalizes the linear inverse method (LIM) framework to ...
