RISThe Sensitivity of Precipitation and Snowpack Simulations to Model Resolution via Nesting in Regions of Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the sensitivity of regional climate simulations to increasing spatial resolution via nesting by means of a 20-yr simulation of the western United States at 40-km resolution and a 5-yr simulation at 13-km ...
Evaluation of Global Monsoon Precipitation Changes based on Five Reanalysis Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ith the motivation to identify whether a reasonably simulated atmospheric circulation would necessarily lead to a successful reproduction of monsoon precipitation, the performances of five sets of reanalysis data [NCEP?U.S. ...
Hydroclimate of the Western United States Based on Observations and Regional Climate Simulation of 1981–2000. Part I: Seasonal Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The regional climate of the western United States shows clear footprints of interaction between atmospheric circulation and orography. The unique features of this diverse climate regime challenges climate modeling. This ...
Improving Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frames to Resist Progressive Collapse through Steel Bracings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: External installation of steel braces has been proved an effective seismic strengthening or retrofitting scheme to upgrade the lateral load-resisting capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) frames. However, the effectiveness ...
Intercomparison of Global Reanalyses and Regional Simulations of Cold Season Water Budgets in the Western United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimating water budgets of river basins in the western United States is a challenge because of the effects of complex terrain and lack of comprehensive observational datasets. This study aims at comparing different estimates ...
Parameter Tuning and Calibration of RegCM3 with MIT–Emanuel Cumulus Parameterization Scheme over CORDEX East Asia Domain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors calibrated the performance of the Regional Climate Model, version 3 (RegCM3), with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)?Emanuel cumulus parameterization scheme over the Coordinated ...
Hydroclimate of the Western United States Based on Observations and Regional Climate Simulation of 1981–2000. Part II: Mesoscale ENSO Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The hydroclimate of the western United States is influenced by strong interannual variability of atmospheric circulation, much of which is associated with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Precipitation anomalies ...
A Modeling Study of Irrigation Effects on Surface Fluxes and Land–Air–Cloud Interactions in the Southern Great Plains
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors incorporate an operational-like irrigation scheme into the Noah land surface model as part of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). A series of simulations, with and without irrigation, ...
Camera Calibration Method Exploiting Reference Images and Roadway Information for Traffic Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A video-based traffic flow detection system requires calibration of cameras to generate accurate estimates of vehicle speed. Traditional manual calibration methods cannot satisfy this requirement because calibration has ...
Tracking moisture sources of precipitation over Central Asia: A study based on the water source-tagging method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Central Asia is a semiarid to arid region that is sensitive to hydrological changes. We use the Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5), equipped with a water tagging capability, to investigate the major moisture sources ...
