Abstract: The effect of vertical and time interpolations of external forcings on the accuracy of regional simulations is examined. Two different treatments of the forcings, one with conventional lateral boundary nudging and the other ...

Abstract: In this paper we describe the global numerical weather prediction system of the National Meteorological Center, and review recent improvements, the evolution in skill, and current research projects and plans.

Abstract: During the past several years, the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) continental-scale experiments (CSEs) have started to develop regional hydroclimatological datasets and water and energy budget studies ...

Abstract: The NMC Global Spectral Model was integrated for one year. The model used is the same as the 1989 operational medium range forecast model except that the horizontal resolution was reduced from T80 to T40. Overall, the model ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new Experimental Climate Prediction Center (ECPC) Coupled Prediction Model (ECPM). The ECPM includes the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) version of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ocean ...

Abstract: The National Centers for Environmental Prediction?s operational global data assimilation system?s (GDAS) atmospheric and surface thermodynamic energy cycles are presented for the Mississippi River basin where the Global ...

Abstract: June 1988 has been classified as one of the hottest and driest months on record in the United States. This study used the NMC Medium-Range Forecast(MRF) T40 model to simulate circulation features of June 1988 and to ...

Abstract: Two large?scale precipitation datasets, one produced by the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) and the other by the Climate Prediction Center of the National Weather Service, and called Climate Prediction ...

Abstract: In preparation for the execution of the National Meteorological Center and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NMC/NCAR) Reanalysis Project, which will cover the period 1958?93, the impact of satellite data on both ...
