Abstract: An enhanced atmospheric monitoring effort has been set up during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE), devoted to better describe the ocean-atmosphere system ...

Abstract: odel verification has traditionally relied upon in situ observations, which typically exist on a sparse network, making nonsurface model forecast verification difficult. Given increasing model resolution, supplemental ...

Abstract: During the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) program, which included a special observing period that took place over West Africa in 2006, a major effort was devoted to monitor the atmosphere and its water ...

Abstract: An evaluation of precipitation and evapotranspiration simulated by mesoscale models is carried out within the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) program. Six models performed simulations of a mesoscale ...

Abstract: erranean region is frequently affected by heavy precipitation events associated with flash floods, landslides, and mudslides that cause hundreds of millions of euros in damages per year and, often, casualties. A major field ...
