An Urban Parameterization for a Global Climate Model. Part II: Sensitivity to Input Parameters and the Simulated Urban Heat Island in Offline Simulations

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2008:;volume( 047 ):;issue: 004:;page 1061

Author(s): Oleson, K. W.; Bonan, G. B.; Feddema, J.; Vertenstein, M.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: In a companion paper, the authors presented a formulation and evaluation of an urban parameterization designed to represent the urban energy balance in the Community Land Model. Here the robustness of the model is tested ...

An Urban Parameterization for a Global Climate Model. Part I: Formulation and Evaluation for Two Cities

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2008:;volume( 047 ):;issue: 004:;page 1038

Author(s): Oleson, K. W.; Bonan, G. B.; Feddema, J.; Vertenstein, M.; Grimmond, C. S. B.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Urbanization, the expansion of built-up areas, is an important yet less-studied aspect of land use/land cover change in climate science. To date, most global climate models used to evaluate effects of land use/land cover ...

The Sensitivity of a Land Surface Parameterization Scheme to the Choice of Remotely Sensed Land-Cover Datasets

Source: Monthly Weather Review:;1997:;volume( 125 ):;issue: 007:;page 1537

Author(s): Oleson, K. W.; Driese, K. L.; Maslanik, J. A.; Emery, W. J.; Reiners, W. A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The characteristics of satellite-derived land-cover data for climate models vary depending on sensor properties and processing options. To better understand the first-order effects of differences in land-cover data on a ...

The Community Earth System Model (CESM) Large Ensemble Project: A Community Resource for Studying Climate Change in the Presence of Internal Climate Variability

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2014:;volume( 096 ):;issue: 008:;page 1333

Author(s): Kay, J. E.; Deser, C.; Phillips, A.; Mai, A.; Hannay, C.; Strand, G.; Arblaster, J. M.; Bates, S. C.; Danabasoglu, G.; Edwards, J.; Holland, M.; Kushner, P.; Lamarque, J.-F.; Lawrence, D.; Lindsay, K.; Middleton, A.; Munoz, E.; Neale, R.; Oleson, K.; Polvani, L.; Vertenstein, M.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: hile internal climate variability is known to affect climate projections, its influence is often underappreciated and confused with model error. Why? In general, modeling centers contribute a small number of realizations ...

The International Urban Energy Balance Models Comparison Project: First Results from Phase 1

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2010:;volume( 049 ):;issue: 006:;page 1268

Author(s): Grimmond, C. S. B.; Blackett, M.; Best, M. J.; Barlow, J.; Baik, J-J.; Belcher, S. E.; Bohnenstengel, S. I.; Calmet, I.; Chen, F.; Dandou, A.; Fortuniak, K.; Gouvea, M. L.; Hamdi, R.; Hendry, M.; Kawai, T.; Kawamoto, Y.; Kondo, H.; Krayenhoff, E.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A large number of urban surface energy balance models now exist with different assumptions about the important features of the surface and exchange processes that need to be incorporated. To date, no comparison of these ...
