Temporal- and Spatial-Scale Dependence of Three CMIP3 Climate Models in Simulating the Surface Temperature Trend in the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: otivated by increasing interests in regional- and decadal-scale climate predictions, this study systematically analyzed the spatial- and temporal-scale dependence of the prediction skill of global climate models in surface ...
Evaluation of Mesoscale Convective Systems in Climate Simulations: Methodological Development and Results from MPAS-CAM over the U.S.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A process-oriented approach is developed to evaluate warm-season mesoscale convective system (MCS) precipitation and their favorable large-scale meteorological patterns (FLSMPs) over the U.S. This approach features a novel ...
Terrestrial Carbon Cycle: Climate Relations in Eight CMIP5 Earth System Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ight Earth System Models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) are evaluated, focusing on both the net carbon dioxide flux and its components and their relation with climatic variables (temperature, ...
Evaluation of the Reanalysis Products from GSFC, NCEP, and ECMWF Using Flux Tower Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eanalysis products produced at the various centers around the globe are utilized for many different scientific endeavors, including forcing land surface models and creating surface flux estimates. Here, flux tower observations ...
Toward the Dynamical Convergence on the Jet Stream in Aquaplanet AGCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ystematic sensitivity of the jet position and intensity to horizontal model resolution is identified in several aquaplanet AGCMs, with the coarser resolution producing a more equatorward eddy-driven jet and a stronger ...
Thermodynamic and Dynamic Mechanisms for Hydrological Cycle Intensification over the Full Probability Distribution of Precipitation Events
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Precipitation changes in a warming climate have been examined with a focus on either mean precipitation or precipitation extremes, but changes in the full probability distribution of precipitation have not been well studied. ...
Examining the Hydrological Variations in an Aquaplanet World Using Wave Activity Transformation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBuilding on the recent advent of the concept of finite-amplitude wave activity, a contour-following diagnostics for column water vapor (CWV) is developed and applied to a pair of aquaplanet model simulations to ...
Exploring a Multiresolution Approach Using AMIP Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents a diagnosis of a multiresolution approach using the Model for Prediction Across Scales?Atmosphere (MPAS-A) for simulating regional climate. Four Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) experiments ...
Physics–Dynamics Coupling in Weather, Climate, and Earth System Models: Challenges and Recent Progress
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractNumerical weather, climate, or Earth system models involve the coupling of components. At a broad level, these components can be classified as the resolved fluid dynamics, unresolved fluid dynamical aspects (i.e., ...
