Abstract: Coupled global circulation models (CGCMs) have been widely used to explore potential future climate change. Before these climate projections can be trusted, the ability of the models to simulate present-day climate must ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study evaluates snow water equivalent (SWE) over North America in the reanalysis-driven NARCCAP regional climate model (RCM) experiments. Examination of SWE in these runs allows for the identification of bias ...

Abstract: he West African monsoon seasonal cycle is simulated with two coupled general circulation models: the Community Climate System Model (CCSM), which uses traditional convective parameterizations, and the ?superparameterized? ...

Abstract: he relationship between African easterly waves and convection is examined in two coupled general circulation models: the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and the ?superparameterized? CCSM (SP-CCSM). In the CCSM, the ...

Abstract: AbstractGlobal and regional climate model ensembles project that the annual cycle of rainfall over the southern Great Plains (SGP) will amplify by midcentury. Models indicate that warm-season precipitation will increase ...

Abstract: his study presents climate change results from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) suite of dynamically downscaled simulations for the North American monsoon system in the southwestern ...
