Abstract: A snow hydrology has been implemented in an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM). The snow hydrology consists of parameterizations of snowfall and snow cover fraction, a prognostic calculation of snow temperature, ...

Abstract: General circulation models (GCMs) designed for projecting climatic change have exhibited a wide range of sensitivity. Therefore, projected surface warming with increasing CO2 varies considerably depending on which model ...

Abstract: A set of model runs was made with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model, version 3 (CCM3) to investigate and help assess the relative roles of snow cover anomalies and initial atmospheric ...
