Abstract: Results are reported from two 5-month-long simulations for southern South America using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5). The periods of simulation correspond to May?September ...

Abstract: A regional climate model driven by reanalyzed atmospheric forcing is used to investigate 1) the large-scale circulation anomalies that were driven by sea surface temperatures (SSTs), which resulted in extreme rainfall ...

Abstract: A regional climate model driven at the lateral boundaries by ensemble integrations of a general circulation model (GCM) is used to investigate 1) the large-scale circulation anomalies associated with tropical sea surface ...

Abstract: nalyses of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) experiments show that the global monsoon is expected to increase in area, precipitation, and intensity as the climate system responds to anthropogenic ...
