RISTropical Convective Transition Statistics and Causality in the Water Vapor–Precipitation Relation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrevious work by various authors has pointed to the role of lower-free-tropospheric humidity in affecting the onset of deep convection in the tropics. Empirical relationships between column water vapor (CWV) and ...
Baroclinic-to-Barotropic Pathway in El Niño–Southern Oscillation Teleconnections from the Viewpoint of a Barotropic Rossby Wave Source
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he baroclinic-to-barotropic pathway in ENSO teleconnections is examined from the viewpoint of a barotropic Rossby wave source that results from decomposition into barotropic and baroclinic components. Diagnoses using the ...
Sensitivity of Global Tropical Climate to Land Surface Processes: Mean State and Interannual Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the sensitivity of the global climate to land surface processes (LSP) using an atmospheric general circulation model both uncoupled (with prescribed SSTs) and coupled to an oceanic general circulation ...
El Niño–Southern Oscillation Sea Level Pressure Anomalies in the Western Pacific: Why Are They There?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lthough sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies in the western Pacific have long been recognized as an integral part of the classic Southern Oscillation pattern associated with El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), there is an ...
Relationships among Intermodel Spread and Biases in Tropical Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractState-of-the-art general circulation models show important systematic errors in their simulation of sea surface temperatures (SST), especially in the tropical Atlantic. In this work the spread in the simulation of ...
Global and Seasonal Assessment of Interactions between Climate and Vegetation Biophysical Processes: A GCM Study with Different Land–Vegetation Representations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global and seasonal assessment of regions of the earth with strong climate?vegetation biophysical process (VBP) interactions is provided. The presence of VBP and degree of VBP effects on climate were assessed based on ...
On the Connection between Continental-Scale Land Surface Processes and the Tropical Climate in a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Land System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n evaluation is presented of the impact on tropical climate of continental-scale perturbations given by different representations of land surface processes (LSPs) in a general circulation model that includes atmosphere?ocean ...
The Concordiasi Project in Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Concordiasi project is making innovative observations of the atmosphere above Antarctica. The most important goals of the Concordiasi are as follows: To enhance the accuracy of weather prediction and climate records ...
