Abstract: An observational climatology of the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) diurnal cycle, specific to surface characteristics, is derived from 58 286 fine-resolution soundings collected in 14 major field campaigns around ...

Abstract: bservations reveal that, in summer, westward extension of the Bermuda high enhances the Great Plains low-level jet (LLJ) that transports more moisture northward, causing precipitation increases in the Midwest and decreases ...

Abstract: his study presents a comprehensive evaluation on a Conjunctive Surface?Subsurface Process Model (CSSP) in predicting soil temperature?moisture distributions, terrestrial hydrology variations, and land?atmosphere exchanges ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5)-based regional climate model (CMM5) capability in simulating the interannual variations of U.S. precipitation and surface air temperature during ...

Abstract: The representation of subgrid horizontal and vertical variability of clouds in radiation schemes remains a major challenge for general circulation models (GCMs) due to the lack of cloud-scale observations and incomplete ...

Abstract: This study aims to combine the cloud-resolving model (CRM) simulations with the Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) observations to provide long-term comprehensive and physically consistent ...

Abstract: This study addresses several deficiencies in the existing formulations for terrestrial hydrologic processes in the Common Land Model (CLM) and presents improved solutions, focusing on runoff prediction. In particular, this ...
