Abstract: A winter oceanic cyclonic cloud system was simulated by using the mesoscale compressible community (MC2) model with different combinations of model resolutions and cloud microphysics packages. Results from these simulations ...

Abstract: Frontal precipitation systems are simulated with a 2D cloud model including ice-phase microphysics. Despite the use of idealized frontogenetic forcing in the simulations, some observed characteristics of frontal zones and ...

Abstract: The Mackenzie Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Study (MAGS) is one of the continental-scale experiments approved specifically by GEWEX to better understand and model water and energy cycling at high latitudes. ...

Abstract: This study represents the first attempt at developing a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric and surface water and energy budgets for the Mackenzie River basin (MRB). Different observed, remotely sensed, (re)analyzed, ...

Abstract: A severe ice storm affected the east coast of Canada during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Project II. A hierarchy of cloud-resolving model simulations of this storm was performed with the objective of enhancing understanding ...

Abstract: The Canadian Regional Climate Model has been used to estimate surface water balance over the Mackenzie River basin during the water year 1998?99 in support of the Canadian Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) ...

Abstract: The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment has identified the poor representation of clouds in atmospheric general circulation models as one of the major impediments for the use of these models in reliably predicting ...
