RISSensitivity of Tropical Convection to Land Surface Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper studies the sensitivity of large-scale tropical convection to land surface changes in the general circulation model of the LMD. Ale method of analysis is based on a conceptual model of the energetics of convection ...
Simulation of Monsoon Disturbances in the LMD GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The monsoon depressions that form over India during the summer are analyzed using simulations from the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique general circulation model. This type of synoptic system often occurs with a ...
A Comparison of Amazonian Climate Data with General Circulation Model Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate data from the Anglo?Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study have been compared with the simulations of three general circulation models with prognostic cloud schemes. Monthly averages of net all-wave radiation, ...
Simulations of the 1987 and 1988 Indian Monsoons Using the LMD GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from 90-day simulations with the LMD GCM are described, where sea surface temperatures of 1987 or 1988 years are respectively prescribed. The initial states correspond to 1 June 1987 and 1 June 1988. The simulated ...
Sensitivity of the Continental Hydrological Cycle to the Spatial Resolution over the Iberian Peninsula
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the broad context of the downscaling methods that are used to study climatic change impacts, the dependence of the surface hydrological processes simulated by the Organising Carbon and Hydrology in Dynamic Ecosystem ...
A Proposed Structure for Coupling Tiled Surfaces with the Planetary Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A generalized coupling is proposed between atmospheric models and surface schemes (land and ocean). A set of input and output variables is defined for this purpose in such a way that it can be used by many current and ...

Land Surface Energy and Moisture Fluxes: Comparing Three Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three different land surface schemes that are designed for use in atmospheric general circulation models are compared. They were run in offline mode with identical atmospheric forcing values that were observed at Cabauw. ...
Characterizing GCM Land Surface Schemes to Understand Their Responses to Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of land surface representation on GCM simulations of climate change is analyzed using eight climate change experiments, carried out with four GCMs each utilizing two different land surface schemes (LSSs). In the ...
The Seasonal Cycle over the Tropical Pacific in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal cycle over the tropical Pacific simulated by 11 coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation models (GCMs) is examined. Each model consists of a high-resolution ocean GCM of either the tropical Pacific or ...
