Abstract: A previously reported 9-day limited area data assimilation experiment has been reported, incorporating a recently developed nonlinear vertical mode initialization scheme. It is shown that the initialization scheme significantly ...

Abstract: It is shown that semi-implicit time differencing on a nonstaggered grid using centered time and space derivatives leads to a decoupling into four separate solutions on different subgrids. This deficiency may be successfully ...

Abstract: The most recent version of the Australian Numerical Meteorology Research Centre limited-area primitive equations model is described in this paper. A staggered grid system has been introduced, the semi-implicit equations ...

Abstract: A multimode Chameleon Surface Model (CHASM) with different levels of complexity in parameterizing surface energy balance is coupled to a limited-area model (DARLAM) to investigate the impacts of complexity in land surface ...

Abstract: By coupling a multimode land surface scheme with a regional climate model, three scientific issues are addressed in this paper: (i) the regional model's sensitivity to the different levels of complexity presented by the ...

Abstract: The 12 weather and climate models participating in the Global Land?Atmosphere Coupling Experiment (GLACE) show both a wide variation in the strength of land?atmosphere coupling and some intriguing commonalities. In this ...
