Convection–Climate Feedbacks in the ECHAM5 General Circulation Model: Evaluation of Cirrus Cloud Life Cycles with ISCCP Satellite Data from a Lagrangian Trajectory Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: process-oriented climate model evaluation is presented, applying the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) simulator to pinpoint deficiencies related to the cloud processes in the ECHAM5 general circulation ...
Evaluation of Clouds and Precipitation in the ECHAM5 General Circulation Model Using CALIPSO and CloudSat Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) and CloudSat satellites are used to evaluate clouds and precipitation in the ECHAM5 general circulation model. Active lidar and ...
On Constraining Estimates of Climate Sensitivity with Present-Day Observations through Model Weighting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he distribution of model-based estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity has not changed substantially in more than 30 years. Efforts to narrow this distribution by weighting projections according to measures of model ...
Comment on “Rethinking the Lower Bound on Aerosol Radiative Forcing”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn an influential and interesting study, Stevens (2015) suggested that the global and also Northern Hemispheric warming during the early industrial period implies that the effective radiative forcing by anthropogenic ...
Scale Dependency of Total Water Variance and Its Implication for Cloud Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he scale dependency of variance of total water mixing ratio is explored by analyzing data from a general circulation model (GCM), a numerical weather prediction model (NWP), and large-eddy simulations (LESs). For clarification, ...

CHASER: An Innovative Satellite Mission Concept to Measure the Effects of Aerosols on Clouds and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tion of cloud droplets on aerosol particles, technically known as the activation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), is the fundamental process driving the interactions of aerosols with clouds and precipitation. The ...
