Dynamical Downscaling of Global Analysis and Simulation over the Northern Hemisphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As an extreme demonstration of regional climate model capability, a dynamical downscaling of the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis was successfully performed over the Northern Hemisphere. Its success is due to the use of the scale-selective ...
Model Diagnosis of Nighttime Minimum Temperature Warming during Summer due to Irrigation in the California Central Valley
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the mechanisms of nighttime minimum temperature warming in the California Central Valley during summer due to irrigation. The Scripps Experimental Climate Prediction Center (ECPC) Regional Spectral Model ...
Fifty-Seven-Year California Reanalysis Downscaling at 10 km (CaRD10). Part II: Comparison with North American Regional Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The California Reanalysis Downscaling at 10 km (CaRD10) was compared with the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR), which is a data assimilation regional analysis at 32-km resolution and 3-hourly output using the Eta ...
Fifty-Seven-Year California Reanalysis Downscaling at 10 km (CaRD10). Part I: System Detail and Validation with Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the purpose of producing datasets for regional-scale climate change research and application, the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis for the period 1948?2005 was dynamically downscaled to hourly, 10-km resolution over California ...
Scale-Selective Bias Correction in a Downscaling of Global Analysis Using a Regional Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Systematic large-scale errors are often found within the regional domain in the regional dynamical downscaling procedure. This paper proposes a method to suppress such errors using a combination of spectral tendency damping ...
Adjustments for Wind Sampling Errors in an Estimate of the Atmospheric Water Budget of the Mississippi River Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spurious mass divergence found in observed and analyzed atmospheric wind fields causes errors in estimated energy flux divergence. An objective method for correcting these errors in radiosonde-based atmospheric water ...
The Diurnal Cycle of the Summertime Atmospheric Hydrologic Cycle over the Southwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diurnal variations in the climatological large-scale summertime hydrologic cycle over the southwestern United States are examined using surface and upper-air observations along with regional model output. Rainfall rates ...
Central U.S. Atmospheric Water and Energy Budgets Adjusted for Diurnal Sampling Biases Using Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water and energy budgets of the atmospheric column over the Mississippi River basin are estimated using 18 yr (1976?93) of twice-daily radiosonde observations, top-of-atmosphere net radiation estimates from the Earth ...
The Summertime Atmospheric Hydrologic Cycle over the Southwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the authors examine the large-scale summertime hydrologic cycle associated with the northwestern branch of the North American monsoon, centered on the southwestern United States, using a suite of surface-and ...
Variations in the Summertime Atmospheric Hydrologic Cycle Associated with Seasonal Precipitation Anomalies over the Southwestern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines year-to-year variations in the large-scale summertime hydrologic cycle over the southwestern United States using a suite of regional model simulations and surface- and upper-air-based observations. In ...
