RISEvaluation of CMIP3 and CMIP5 Wind Stress Climatology Using Satellite Measurements and Atmospheric Reanalysis Products
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ind stress measurements from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite and two atmospheric reanalysis products are used to evaluate the annual mean and seasonal cycle of wind stress simulated by phases 3 and 5 of the ...
The Impact of Stratocumulus Cloud Radiative Properties on Surface Heat Fluxes Simulated with a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When sea surface temperatures are prescribed at its lower boundary, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) produces a realistic simulation of planetary boundary layer ...
Simulations of the Eastern North Pacific Intraseasonal Variability in CMIP5 GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a key component of tropical atmospheric variability, intraseasonal variability (ISV) over the eastern North Pacific Ocean (ENP) exerts pronounced influences on regional weather and climate. Since general circulation ...
Vertical Heating Structures Associated with the MJO as Characterized by TRMM Estimates, ECMWF Reanalyses, and Forecasts: A Case Study during 1998/99 Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is a fundamental mode of the tropical atmosphere variability that exerts significant influence on global climate and weather systems. Current global circulation models, unfortunately, ...
A Multiscale Modeling System: Developments, Applications, and Critical Issues
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multiscale modeling framework (MMF), which replaces the conventional cloud parameterizations with a cloud-resolving model (CRM) in each grid column of a GCM, constitutes a new and promising approach for climate modeling. ...
