A New Nonparametric Method to Correct Model Data: Application to Significant Wave Height from the ERA-40 Re-Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new nonparametric method to correct model data is proposed. At any given point in space and time the correction is determined from ?analogs? in a learning dataset. The learning dataset contains model data and simultaneous ...
100-Year Return Value Estimates for Ocean Wind Speed and Significant Wave Height from the ERA-40 Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this article global estimates of 100-yr return values of wind speed and significant wave height are presented. These estimates are based on the ECMWF 40-yr Re-Analysis (ERA-40) data and are linearly corrected using ...
Climate Variability in a Coupled GCM. Part I: The Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 26-year integration has been performed with a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (CGCM). The oceanic part resolves all three oceans in the latitude band 70°N?70°S but is dynamically active only between ...
Structure and Predictability of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation Phenomenon in a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The space-time structure and predictability of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon was investigated. Two comprehensive datasets were analyzed by means of an advanced statistical method, one based on observational ...
Climate Variability in a Coupled GCM. Part II: The Indian Ocean and Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We have investigated the seasonal cycle and the interannual variability of the tropical Indian Ocean circulation and the Indian summer monsoon simulated by a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model in a 26- year ...
Intercomparison of Different Wind–Wave Reanalyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the comparison of wind speed and significant wave height data from several reanalyses. The data are assessed against time-averaged altimeter and buoy measurements. The comparisons between the datasets ...
Statistical Comparisons of Observed and ECMWF Modeled Open Ocean Surface Drag
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface-drag coefficients of two versions of the ECMWF's atmosphere?wave model are compared with those of uncoupled model versions and with those of inertial-dissipation measurements in the open ocean made by the RRS ...
