The Use of General Circulation Models to Predict Regional Climatic Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Equilibrium simulations using the best-available general circulation models to estimate the sensitivity of the climate to a doubling of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are in broad general agreement that the ...
The Livermore Regional Air Quality Model: II. Verification and Sample Application in the San Francisco Bay Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Topographic, meteorological, source emission and atmospheric pollutant concentration data have been assembled for use in verifying the LIRAQ-1 and LIRAQ-2 regional air quality models in the San Francisco Bay Area. These ...
Climate Change and Cloud Feedback: The Possible Radiative Effects of Latitudinal Redistribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of outgoing longwave flux to changes in cloud cover (?F/?Ac) as defined by Cess (1976) must be evaluated carefully to avoid discrepancies arising from the interchange of averaging conventions. In a recent ...
Monitoring and Understanding Changes in Extremes: Extratropical Storms, Winds, and Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntific assessment examines changes in three climate extremes?extratropical storms, winds, and waves?with an emphasis on U.S. coastal regions during the cold season. There is moderate evidence of an increase in both ...
