RISExamining Southern Ocean Cloud Controlling Factors on Daily Time Scales and Their Connections to Midlatitude Weather Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTClouds and their associated radiative effects are a large source of uncertainty in global climate models. One region with particularly large model biases in shortwave cloud radiative effects (CRE) is the Southern ...
1948–98 U.S. Hydrological Reanalysis by the Noah Land Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Land surface variables, such as soil moisture, are among the most important components of memory for the climate system. A more accurate and long time series of land surface data is very important for real-time drought ...
The Impact of Land Surface Processes on Simulations of the U.S. Hydrological Cycle: A Case Study of the 1993 Flood Using the SSiB Land Surface Model in the NCEP Eta Regional Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a methodology for coupling the Simplified Simple Biosphere Model (SSiB) to the regional Eta Model of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and presents the application of the coupled ...
Design of Complex Engineered Systems Using Multi-Agent Coordination
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In complex engineering systems, complexity may arise by design, or as a by-product of the system's operation. In either case, the cause of complexity is the same: the unpredictable manner in which interactions among ...
Response of Seasonal Simulations of a Regional Climate Model to High-Frequency Variability of Soil Moisture during the Summers of 1988 and 1993
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study employs the NCEP Eta Regional Climate Model to investigate the response of the model?s seasonal simulations of summer precipitation to high-frequency variability of soil moisture. Specifically, it focuses on the ...
The ISLSCP Initiative I Global Datasets: Surface Boundary Conditions and Atmospheric Forcings for Land-Atmosphere Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comprehensive series of global datasets for land-atmosphere models has been collected, formatted to a common grid, and released on a set of CD-ROMS. This paper describes the motivation for and the, contents of the dataset. ...
The Global Land Data Assimilation System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) has been developed. Its purpose is to ingest satellite- and ground-based observational data products, using advanced land surface modeling and data assimilation techniques, ...
The Rhône-Aggregation Land Surface Scheme Intercomparison Project: An Overview
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Rhône-Aggregation (Rhône-AGG) Land Surface Scheme (LSS) intercomparison project is an initiative within the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX)/Global Land?Atmosphere System Study (GLASS) panel of the World ...
