Reducing Biases in XBT Measurements by Including Discrete Information from Pressure Switches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: iases in the depth estimation of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) measurements cause considerable errors in oceanic estimates of climate variables. Efforts are currently underway to improve XBT probes by including pressure ...
Observed and Modeled Twentieth-Century Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Selected Agro-Climate Indices in North America
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors examine recent changes in three agro-climate indices (frost days, thermal time, and heat stress index) in North America (centered around the continental United States) using observations from a historical climate ...
Optimization of an Observing System Design for the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three methods are analyzed for the design of ocean observing systems to monitor the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the North Atlantic. Specifically, a continuous monitoring array to monitor the MOC at 1000 m ...
Early Detection of Changes in the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Implications for the Design of Ocean Observation Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many climate models predict that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions may cause a threshold response of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC). These model predictions are, however, uncertain. Reducing ...
Representation of U.S. Warm Temperature Extremes in Global Climate Model Ensembles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractExtreme temperature events can have considerable negative impacts on sectors such as health, agriculture, and transportation. Observational evidence indicates the severity and frequency of warm extremes are increasing ...
Improved Representation of Tropical Pacific Ocean–Atmosphere Dynamics in an Intermediate Complexity Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new anomaly coupling technique is introduced into a coarse-resolution dynamic climate model [the Liège Ocean Carbon Heteronomous model (LOCH)?Vegetation Continuous Description model (VECODE)?Earth System Models of Intermediate ...
Regional Flood Risk Projections under Climate Change
