Modeling and Analysis of the Variability of the Water Cycle in the Upper Rio Grande Basin at High Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Estimating the water budgets in a small-scale basin is a challenge, especially in the mountainous western United States, where the terrain is complex and observational data in the mountain areas are sparse. This manuscript ...
LMODEL: A Satellite Precipitation Methodology Using Cloud Development Modeling. Part II: Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new satellite-based rainfall monitoring algorithm that integrates the strengths of both low Earth-orbiting (LEO) and geostationary Earth-orbiting (GEO) satellite information has been developed. The Lagrangian Model ...
Model Performance of Downscaling 1999–2004 Hydrometeorological Fields to the Upper Rio Grande Basin Using Different Forcing Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study downscaled more than five years of data (1999?2004) for hydrometeorological fields over the upper Rio Grande basin (URGB) to a 4-km resolution using a regional model [fifth-generation Pennsylvania State ...
Modeling Intraseasonal Features of 2004 North American Monsoon Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the capabilities and limitations of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) in predicting the precipitation and circulation ...
Model Study of Evolution and Diurnal Variations of Rainfall in the North American Monsoon during June and July 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rainfall evolution and diurnal variation are important components in the North American monsoon system (NAMS). In this study these components are numerically studied using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State ...
Model Climatology of the North American Monsoon Onset Period during 1980–2001
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, the seasonal development of the North American monsoon system (NAMS), as simulated by a mesoscale model during a 22-yr simulation from 1980 through 2001, is assessed. Comparison between model simulations and ...
Sensitivity of North American Monsoon Rainfall to Multisource Sea Surface Temperatures in MM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this article, four continually processed sea surface temperature (SST) datasets, including the Reynolds SST (RYD), the global final analysis of skin temperature at oceans (FNL), and two Moderate Resolution Imaging ...
Confidence Builders: Evaluating Seasonal Climate Forecasts from User Perspectives
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water managers, cattle ranchers, and wildland fire managers face several barriers to effectively using climate forecasts. Repeatedly, these decision makers state that they lack any quantitative basis for evaluating forecast ...
Influence of Spatial Resolution on Diurnal Variability during the North American Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Diurnal variability is an important yet poorly understood aspect of the warm-season precipitation regime over southwestern North America. In an effort to improve its understanding, diurnal variability is investigated ...
Impact of Ingesting Satellite-Derived Cloud Cover into the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the extent to which assimilating high-resolution remotely sensed cloud cover into the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) provides an improved regional diagnosis of downward short- and ...
