RISParameterizing Subgrid Orographic Precipitation and Surface Cover in Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Previous development of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory?s regional climate model has focused on representing orographic precipitation using a subgrid parameterization where subgrid variations of surface elevation ...
Pacific Northwest Climate Sensitivity Simulated by a Regional Climate Model Driven by a GCM. Part II: 2×CO2 Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global climate change due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases has stimulated numerous studies and discussions about its possible impacts on water resources. Climate scenarios generated by climate models at ...
Pacific Northwest Climate Sensitivity Simulated by a Regional Climate Model Driven by a GCM. Part I: Control Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model nesting approach has been used to simulate the regional climate over the Pacific Northwest. The present-day global climatology is first simulated using the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM3) driven by observed sea ...
Simulations of Present and Future Climates in the Western United States with Four Nested Regional Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the authors analyze simulations of present and future climates in the western United States performed with four regional climate models (RCMs) nested within two global ocean?atmosphere climate models. The ...
Large Contribution of Coarse Mode to Aerosol Microphysical and Optical Properties: Evidence from Ground-Based Observations of a Transpacific Dust Outbreak at a High-Elevation North American Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work is motivated by previous studies of transatlantic transport of Saharan dust and the observed quasi-static nature of coarse mode aerosol with a volume median diameter (VMD) of approximately 3.5 ?m. The authors ...
High-Resolution Regional Climate Models: Meeting Ongoing Community and Scientific Needs

A Preliminary Synthesis of Modeled Climate Change Impacts on U.S. Regional Ozone Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides a synthesis of results that have emerged from recent modeling studies of the potential sensitivity of U.S. regional ozone (O3) concentrations to global climate change (ca. 2050). This research has been ...
