Issues in Simulating the Annual Precipitation of a Semiarid Region in Central Spain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Running regional climate models at a high resolution may improve their ability to simulate regional precipitation patterns, making them suitable for studying the impact of human-induced land-cover changes on hydrometeorology. ...
Evaluating GCM Land Surface Hydrology Parameterizations by Computing River Discharges Using a Runoff Routing Model: Application to the Mississippi Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To relate general circulation model (GCM) hydrologic output to readily available river hydrographic data, a runoff routing scheme that routes gridded runoffs through regional- or continental-scale river drainage basins is ...
Biogeophysical Consequences of a Tropical Deforestation Scenario: A GCM Simulation Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two 3-year (1979?1982) integrations were carried out with a version of the GLA GCM that contains the Simple Biosphere Model (SiB) for simulating land-atmosphere interactions. The control case used the usual SiB vegetation ...
The Influence of Anthropogenic Landscape Changes on Weather in South Florida
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using identical observed meteorology for lateral boundary conditions, the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System was integrated for July?August 1973 for south Florida. Three experiments were performed?one using the observed ...
Representing Variability in Subgrid Snow Cover and Snow Depth in a Global Land Model: Offline Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ubgrid snow cover is one of the key parameters in global land models since snow cover has large impacts on the surface energy and moisture budgets, and hence the surface temperature. In this study, the Subgrid Snow ...
