Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of two recently developed thermodynamic models of maximum tropical cyclone intensity (K. A. Emanuel?s referred to here as E1 and G. J. Holland?s referred to here as H1), which are ...

Abstract: The Project for the Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes (PILPS) aims to improve understanding and modeling of land surface processes. PILPS phase 2(d) uses a set of meteorological and hydrological data ...

Abstract: The Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that global warming is ?unequivocal? and that most of the observed increase since the mid-twentieth century is very likely ...

Abstract: The Project for Intercomparison of Land-Surface Parameterization Schemes phase 2(d) experiment at Valdai, Russia, offers a unique opportunity to evaluate land surface schemes, especially snow and frozen soil parameterizations. ...
