Abstract: The Oregon State University/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory general circulation model has been employed as a vehicle for suggesting and exploring various means of converting narrow-band measurements of reflected ...

Abstract: In order to better identify and more fully understand the differences in sensitivity among climate models, two quite different models are systematically compared in terms of their seasonal response. The two-dimensional ...

Abstract: ct available.

Abstract: A method is described for analyzing the feedback and synergistic contributions of temperature, water vapor, cloud cover, surface albedo and CO2 to the change in the radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere due to a ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of outgoing longwave flux to changes in cloud cover (?F/?Ac) as defined by Cess (1976) must be evaluated carefully to avoid discrepancies arising from the interchange of averaging conventions. In a recent ...

Abstract: The ability of the ECMWF model (cycle 33) to simulate the Indian and East Asian summer monsoons is evaluated at four different horizontal resolutions: T21, T42, T63, and T1O6. Generally, with respect to the large-scale ...

Abstract: he Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Application (MERRA) is a reanalysis designed to produce an improved representation of the Earth?s hydrologic cycle. This study examines the representation of deep ...

Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes the repackaging and consistent distribution of the world?s major atmospheric and oceanic reanalyses. It also presents examples of the usefulness of examining multiple reanalyses. This service ...

Abstract: Two datasets have been combined to demonstrate how the availability of more comprehensive datasets could serve to elucidate the shortwave radiative impact of clouds on both the atmospheric column and the surface. These ...
