RISMaintenance of Lower Tropospheric Temperature Inversion in the Saharan Air Layer by Dust and Dry Anomaly
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of Saharan dust and dry anomaly in maintaining the temperature inversion in the Saharan air layer (SAL) is investigated. The dust aerosol optical thickness (AOT) in the SAL is inferred from the measurements taken ...
Temperature Extremes in the Community Atmosphere Model with Stochastic Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper evaluates the performance of the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model, version 4 (CAM4), in simulating observed annual extremes of near-surface temperature and provides the first assessment of the impact of stochastic ...
Deforestation Strengthens Atmospheric Transport of Mineral Dust and Phosphorus from North Africa to the Amazon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Impact of Desert Dust Radiative Forcing on Sahel Precipitation: Relative Importance of Dust Compared to Sea Surface Temperature Variations, Vegetation Changes, and Greenhouse Gas Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of direct radiative forcing of desert dust aerosol in the change from wet to dry climate observed in the African Sahel region in the last half of the twentieth century is investigated using simulations with an ...
Dynamical characteristics of drought in the Caribbean from observations and simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate models consistently project a significant drying in the Caribbean during climate change, and between 2013–2016 the region experienced the worst multi-year drought in the historical period. Although dynamical ...
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Variability in the Community Earth System Model: Evaluation and Transient Dynamics during the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges in atmospheric CO2 variability during the twenty-first century may provide insight about ecosystem responses to climate change and have implications for the design of carbon monitoring programs. This paper describes ...
Preindustrial-Control and Twentieth-Century Carbon Cycle Experiments with the Earth System Model CESM1(BGC)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ersion 1 of the Community Earth System Model, in the configuration where its full carbon cycle is enabled, is introduced and documented. In this configuration, the terrestrial biogeochemical model, which includes carbon?nitrogen ...
