Spatial Patterns of Precipitation Change in CMIP5: Why the Rich Do Not Get Richer in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges in the patterns of tropical precipitation (P) and circulation are analyzed in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) GCMs under the representative concentration pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario. A robust ...
Atmospheric Blocking and Mean Biases in Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Models often underestimate blocking in the Atlantic and Pacific basins and this can lead to errors in both weather and climate predictions. Horizontal resolution is often cited as the main culprit for blocking errors due ...
Diurnal Evolution of the Cloud-Topped Marine Boundary Layer. Part I: Nocturnal Stratocumulus Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure and evolution of the extratropical marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) depend largely on the variability of stratus and stratocumulus clouds. Stratus clouds are generally associated with a well-mixed MABL, ...
Greater Future U.K. Winter Precipitation Increase in New Convection-Permitting Scenarios
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For the first time, a model at a resolution on par with operational weather forecast models has been used for national climate scenarios. An ensemble of 12 climate change projections at convection-permitting (2.2 km) scale ...
NASA Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX 2002/03): Local Scale Observation Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The local scale observation site (LSOS) is the smallest study site (0.8 ha) of the 2002/03 Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX) and is located within the Fraser mesocell study area. It was the most intensively measured ...
