RIS1997: The El Niño of the Century and the Response of the Indian Summer Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The year 1997 was characterized by the rapid development of an El Niño whose strength exceeded any previously observed this century. The basic understanding of the influence of El Niño on the Asian summer monsoon suggested ...
The Diurnal Cycle of Convection and Atmospheric Tides in an Aquaplanet GCM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diurnal cycle of tropical convection and its relationship to the atmospheric tides is investigated using an aquaplanet GCM. The diurnal and semidiurnal harmonics of precipitation are both found to contribute significantly ...
The Mean Evolution and Variability of the Asian Summer Monsoon: Comparison of ECMWF and NCEP–NCAR Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The behavior of the Asian summer monsoon is documented and compared using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis (ERA) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction?National Center ...
The Relationship between Convection and Sea Surface Temperature on Intraseasonal Timescales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between tropical convection, surface fluxes, and sea surface temperature (SST) on intraseasonal timescales has been examined as part of an investigation of the possibility that the intraseasonal oscillation ...
Simulation of Crop Yields Using ERA-40: Limits to Skill and Nonstationarity in Weather–Yield Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reanalysis data provide an excellent test bed for impacts prediction systems, because they represent an upper limit on the skill of climate models. Indian groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yields have been simulated using ...
Modeling Diurnal and Intraseasonal Variability of the Ocean Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The intraseasonal variability of SST associated with the passage of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is well documented; yet coupled model integrations generally underpredict the magnitude of this SST variability. ...
Toward a Combined Seasonal Weather and Crop Productivity Forecasting System: Determination of the Working Spatial Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology is presented for the development of a combined seasonal weather and crop productivity forecasting system. The first stage of the methodology is the determination of the spatial scale(s) on which the system ...
The Physical Properties of the Atmosphere in the New Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model (HadGEM1). Part II: Aspects of Variability and Regional Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of the atmospheric component of the new Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model (HadGEM1) is assessed in terms of its ability to represent a selection of key aspects of variability in the Tropics and ...
U.K. HiGEM: The New U.K. High-Resolution Global Environment Model—Model Description and Basic Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article describes the development and evaluation of the U.K.?s new High-Resolution Global Environmental Model (HiGEM), which is based on the latest climate configuration of the Met Office Unified Model, known as the ...
