RISA Mechanisms-Based Approach to Detecting Recent Anthropogenic Hydroclimate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oth naturally occurring La Niña events and model-projected anthropogenic-driven global warming are associated with widespread drying in the subtropics to midlatitudes. Models suggest anthropogenic drying should already be ...
Climatological Coastal Jet Collision, Intermediate Water Formation, and the General Circulation of the Red Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors present climatologies of a numerical model of the Red Sea, focusing on the dynamics of winter intermediate water formation. Northward flowing boundary currents are identified as the major dynamical elements. ...
Thermodynamic and Dynamic Mechanisms for Large-Scale Changes in the Hydrological Cycle in Response to Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mechanisms of changes in the large-scale hydrological cycle projected by 15 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 and used for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?s Fourth ...
Does Global Warming Cause Intensified Interannual Hydroclimate Variability?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he idea that global warming leads to more droughts and floods has become commonplace without clear indication of what is meant by this statement. Here, the authors examine one aspect of this problem and assess whether ...
Mechanisms of Tropical Atlantic SST Influence on North American Precipitation Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamical mechanisms associated with the impact of year-to-year variability in tropical North Atlantic (TNA) sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on North American precipitation, during the cold and warm halves of the ...
A Linear Equivalent Barotropic Model of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current with Realistic Coastlines and Bottom Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear equivalent barotropic (EB) model is applied to study the effects of the bottom topography H and baroclinicity on the total transport and the position of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The model is based ...
An Unconditionally Stable Scheme for the Shallow Water Equations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A finite-difference scheme for solving the linear shallow water equations in a bounded domain is described. Its time step is not restricted by a Courant?Friedrichs?Levy (CFL) condition. The scheme, known as Israeli?Naik?Cane ...
Impact of the Midlatitude Storm Track on the Upper Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transient eddies in the atmosphere induce a poleward transport of heat and moisture. A moist static energy budget of the surface layer is determined from the NCEP reanalysis data to evaluate the impact of the storm track. ...
Modeling of Tropical Forcing of Persistent Droughts and Pluvials over Western North America: 1856–2000
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The causes of persistent droughts and wet periods, or pluvials, over western North America are examined in model simulations of the period from 1856 to 2000. The simulations used either (i) global sea surface temperature ...
A Solver for the Barotropic Mode in the Presence of Variable Topography and Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A scheme is presented for solving the equation for barotropic ocean circulation, taking into account the special character of the problem: nearly inviscid motion following f/H contours in the ocean interior, with viscous ...
