Assessing the Sensitivity of a Land-Surface Scheme to the Parameter Values Using a Single Column Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of a land-surface scheme (the Biosphere Atmosphere Transfer Scheme, BATS) to its parameter values was investigated using a single column model. Identifying which parameters were important in controlling the ...
Reply to “Comments on ‘Global Regional Comparison of Daily 2-m and 1000-hPa Maximum and Minimum Temperatures in Three Global Reanalyses’”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Impact of Land Cover Change on a Simulated Storm Event in the Sydney Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) was run at a 1-km grid spacing over the Sydney basin in Australia to assess the impact of land cover change on a simulated storm event. The simulated storm used NCEP?NCAR ...
The Impact of 200 Years of Land Cover Change on the Australian Near-Surface Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of land cover change on the Australian regional-scale climate is investigated using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU?NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5). ...
Global and Regional Comparison of Daily 2-m and 1000-hPa Maximum and Minimum Temperatures in Three Global Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: comparison of three global reanalyses is conducted based on probability density functions of daily maximum and minimum temperature at 2-m and 1000-hPa levels. The three reanalyses compare very favorably in both maximum and ...
Regional Projections of Future Seasonal and Annual Changes in Rainfall and Temperature over Australia Based on Skill-Selected AR4 Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Daily data from climate models submitted to the Fourth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are compared with daily data from observations over Australia by measuring the overlap of the probability ...
Exploring the Sensitivity of the Australian Climate to Regional Land-Cover-Change Scenarios under Increasing CO2 Concentrations and Warmer Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The potential role of the impacts of land-cover changes (LCCs) in the Australian climate is investigated within the context of increasing CO2 concentrations and temperature. Specifically, it is explored if possible scenarios ...
Evaluating Land–Atmosphere Coupling Using a Resistance Pathway Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper presents a methodology for examining land?atmosphere coupling in a regional climate model by examining how the resistances to moisture transfer from the land to the atmosphere control the surface turbulent energy ...
The Relationship between Intermodel Differences and Surface Energy Balance Complexity in the Rhône-Aggregation Intercomparison Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six modes of complexity of the Chameleon land surface model (CHASM) are used to explore the relationship between the complexity of the surface energy balance (SEB) formulation and the capacity of the model to explain ...
