RISStratocumulus Clouds in Southeastern Pacific Simulated by Eight CMIP5–CFMIP Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the stratocumulus clouds and associated cloud feedback in the southeast Pacific (SEP) simulated by eight global climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) ...
Hydroclimatic Trends in the Mississippi River Basin from 1948 to 2004
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The trends of the surface water and energy budget components in the Mississippi River basin from 1948 to 2004 are investigated using a combination of hydrometeorological observations and observation-constrained simulations ...
A Global Dataset of Palmer Drought Severity Index for 1870–2002: Relationship with Soil Moisture and Effects of Surface Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A monthly dataset of Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) from 1870 to 2002 is derived using historical precipitation and temperature data for global land areas on a 2.5° grid. Over Illinois, Mongolia, and parts of China ...
Changes in Continental Freshwater Discharge from 1948 to 2004
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new dataset of historical monthly streamflow at the farthest downstream stations for the world?s 925 largest ocean-reaching rivers has been created for community use. Available new gauge records are added to a network ...
Simulation of Global Land Surface Conditions from 1948 to 2004. Part I: Forcing Data and Evaluations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of a lack of observations, historical simulations of land surface conditions using land surface models are needed for studying variability and changes in the continental water cycle and for providing initial ...
Is the Tropical Atmosphere in Convective Quasi-Equilibrium?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he hypothesis of convective quasi-equilibrium (CQE) has dominated thinking about the interaction between deep moist convection and the environment for at least two decades. In this view, deep convection develops or decays ...
Intraseasonal Variation of Winter Precipitation over the Western United States Simulated by 14 IPCC AR4 Coupled GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluates the intraseasonal variation of winter precipitation over the western United States in 14 coupled general circulation models (GCMs) participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ...
Estimates of the Global Water Budget and Its Annual Cycle Using Observational and Model Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A brief review is given of research in the Climate Analysis Section at NCAR on the water cycle. Results are used to provide a new estimate of the global hydrological cycle for long-term annual means that includes estimates ...
Intraseasonal Variability Associated with Summer Precipitation over South America Simulated by 14 IPCC AR4 Coupled GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study evaluates the intraseasonal variability associated with summer precipitation over South America in 14 coupled general circulation models (GCMs) participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ...
