Abstract: The sensitivity of the simulated July circulation to modifications in the parameterization of dry and moist convection, evaporation from failing raindrops, and cloud-radiation interaction is examined with the GLA (Goddard ...

Abstract: The GLA (Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres) GCM (general circulation model) was employed to investigate the influence of surface albedo and evapotranspiration anomalies that could result from the hypothetical semiarid ...

Abstract: n algorithm was developed to estimate planetary boundary layer (PBL) heights from hourly archived wind profiler data from the NOAA Profiler Network (NPN) sites located throughout the central United States. Unlike previous ...

Abstract: The winter and early spring weather in the New York City metropolitan region is highly influenced by extratropical storm systems, and the storm surge associated with these systems is one of the main factors contributing ...

Abstract: New York coastal regions are frequently exposed to winter extratropical storm systems that exhibit a wide range of local impacts. Studies of these systems either have used localized water-level or beach erosion data to ...

Abstract: his study is the first to identify a robust El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signal in the Antarctic stratosphere. El Niño events between 1979 and 2009 are classified as either conventional ?cold tongue? events (positive ...

Abstract: We revisit the bias correction problem in current climate models, taking advantage of state-of-the-art atmospheric reanalysis data and new data assimilation tools that simplify the estimation of short-term (6 hourly) ...

Abstract: To investigate the effects of the middle atmosphere on climate, the World Climate Research Programme is supporting the project "Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate" (SPARC). A central theme of SPARC, to examine ...
