RISEvaluation of Microphysics Parameterization for Convective Clouds in the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model CAM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: physically based two-moment microphysics parameterization scheme for convective clouds is implemented in the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) to improve the representation of convective clouds and their ...
Boundary Layer and Cloud Structure Controls on Tropical Low Cloud Cover Using A-Train Satellite Data and ECMWF Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO), CloudSat radar, and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud data on the A-Train constellation complemented with the ...
On the Annual Cycle, Variability, and Correlations of Oceanic Low-Topped Clouds with Large-Scale Circulation Using Aqua MODIS and ERA-Interim
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ight years of Aqua Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) level-3 cloud data in conjunction with collocated Interim ECMWF Re-Analysis are used to investigate relationships between isolated low-topped cloud ...
Characterizing and Understanding Cloud Ice and Radiation Budget Biases in Global Climate Models and Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors present an observationally based evaluation of the vertically resolved cloud ice water content (CIWC) and vertically integrated cloud ice water path (CIWP) as well as radiative shortwave flux downward at the ...
Partitioning Ice Water Content from Retrievals and Its Application in Model Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRetrieved bulk microphysics from remote sensing observations is a composite of ice, snow, and graupel in the three-species ice-phase bulk microphysics parameterization. In this study, density thresholds are used ...
The Vertical Structure of Radiative Heating Rates: A Multimodel Evaluation Using A-Train Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We assess the vertical distribution of radiative heating rates (RHRs) in climate models using a multimodel experiment and A-Train satellite observations, for the first time. As RHRs rely on the representation of cloud ...
