An Analysis of Diagnostic Cloud Mass Flux Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of the Arakawa-Schubert cloud model to diagnose cloud mass fluxes from the large-scale budgets is becoming an increasingly popular technique in observational tropical meteorology. The results of such studies are ...
Seasonal Relationships between Australian Rainfall and the Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Correlations between indices of the Southern Oscillation (SO) and areal average rainfall for 107 Australian rainfall districts for the period December 1932 to November 1974 have been calculated. Simultaneous correlations ...
On Predicting the Onset of the Australian Wet Season at Darwin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An index of the date of onset of the North Australian wet season is defined based on rainfall received at a single station (Darwin). It is demonstrated that this index can be predicted some months ahead. The amount of rain ...
Projected Changes in Late-Twenty-First-Century Tropical Cyclone Frequency in 13 Coupled Climate Models from Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges in tropical cyclone (TC) frequency under anthropogenic climate change are examined for 13 global models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5), using the Okubo?Weiss?Zeta parameter (OWZP) ...
The Development and Assessment of a Model-, Grid-, and Basin-Independent Tropical Cyclone Detection Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: novel approach to tropical cyclone (TC) detection in coarse-resolution numerical model data is introduced and assessed. This approach differs from traditional detectors in two main ways. First, it was developed and tuned ...
An Assessment of a Model-, Grid-, and Basin-Independent Tropical Cyclone Detection Scheme in Selected CMIP3 Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: novel tropical cyclone (TC) detection technique designed for coarse-resolution models is tested and evaluated. The detector, based on the Okubo?Weiss?Zeta parameter (OWZP), is applied to a selection of Coupled Model ...
The Onset of the Australian Monsoon During Winter MONEX: Synoptic Aspects
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A case study is presented of the onset of the Southern Hemisphere summer monsoon at longitudes near Australia during December 1978. The numerical analyses comprising this case study are used in conjunction with station ...
Diurnal Variations during the Australian Monsoon Experiment (AMEX) Phase II
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal variations in tropical cloudiness and tropospheric winds during the Australian Monsoon Experiment (AMEX) Phase II are documented and compared to those observed elsewhere. A diurnal variation in tropical cloudiness ...
On the Formation of AMEX Tropical Cyclones Irma and Jason
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The AMEX observational dataset, with its high temporal and spatial resolution, has been used to study the formation and structure of Tropical Cyclones Irma and Jason. These systems developed and evolved entirely within the ...
