RISA Comparison of the CCM3 Model Climate Using Diagnosed and Predicted Condensate Parameterizations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization is introduced for the prediction of cloud water in the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3). The new parameterization makes a much closer connection between ...
Midlatitude Cyclone Compositing to Constrain Climate Model Behavior Using Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Identical composite analysis of midlatitude cyclones over oceanic regions has been carried out on both output from the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model, version 3 (CAM3) and multisensor satellite data. By focusing on mean ...
Improvements to the NCAR CSM-1 for Transient Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Improvements to the NCAR Climate System Model, CSM-1, primarily for transient climate forcing simulations, are discussed. The impact of the individual changes is assessed through atmosphere?land or ocean?ice experiments, ...
Toward a Minimal Representation of Aerosols in Climate Models: Comparative Decomposition of Aerosol Direct, Semidirect, and Indirect Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors have decomposed the anthropogenic aerosol radiative forcing into direct contributions from each aerosol species to the planetary energy balance through absorption and scattering of solar radiation, indirect ...
The National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Climate Model: CCM3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The latest version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3) is described. The changes in both physical and dynamical formulation from CCM2 to CCM3 are presented. The major ...
Large Contribution of Coarse Mode to Aerosol Microphysical and Optical Properties: Evidence from Ground-Based Observations of a Transpacific Dust Outbreak at a High-Elevation North American Site
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work is motivated by previous studies of transatlantic transport of Saharan dust and the observed quasi-static nature of coarse mode aerosol with a volume median diameter (VMD) of approximately 3.5 ?m. The authors ...
Tropical and Subtropical Cloud Transitions in Weather and Climate Prediction Models: The GCSS/WGNE Pacific Cross-Section Intercomparison (GPCI)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: model evaluation approach is proposed in which weather and climate prediction models are analyzed along a Pacific Ocean cross section, from the stratocumulus regions off the coast of California, across the shallow convection ...
