Coarse-Grid and Cloud-Resolving Simulations of a Midlatitude Cyclonic Cloud System: Implications for the Parameterization of Layer Clouds in GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Effects of Melting on Frontogenesis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Northern Tales: A Synthesis of MAGS Atmospheric and Hydrometeorological Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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. ...
The MAGS Water and Energy Budget Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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, ...
The Mesoscale Dynamics of Freezing Rain Storms over Eastern Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Simulations of a Cold Front by Cloud-Resolving, Limited-Area, and Large-Scale Models, and a Model Evaluation Using In Situ and Satellite Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
