A Global Climate Model (GENESIS) with a Land-Surface Transfer Scheme (LSX). Part I: Present Climate Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present-day climatology of a global climate model (GENESIS Version 1.02) is described. The model includes a land-surface transfer component (LSX) that accounts for the physical effects of vegetation. The atmospheric ...
Greenland and Antarctic Mass Balances for Present and Doubled Atmospheric CO2 from the GENESIS Version-2 Global Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As anthropogenic greenhouse warming occurs in the next century, changes in the mass balances of Greenland and Antarctica will probably accelerate and may have significant effects on global sea level. Recent trends and ...
A Global Climate Model (GENESIS) with a Land-Surface Transfer Scheme (LSX). Part II: CO2 Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the equilibrium climate to doubled atmospheric CO2 is investigated using the GENESIS global climate model version 1.02. The atmospheric general circulation model is a heavily modified version of the NCAR ...
“Parameterization of Outgoing Infrared Radiation Derived from Detailed Radiative Calculations”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Correction to Volume 39, Issue 12, Article 2667.
Parameterization of Outgoing Infrared Radiation Derived from Detailed Radiative Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: State-of-the-art radiative transfer models can calculate outgoing infrared (IR) irradiance at the top of the atmosphere (F) to an accuracy suitable for climate modeling given the proper atmospheric profiles of temperature ...
“Cumulus Friction”: Estimated Influence on the Tropical Mean Meridional Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simple diagnostic study is performed in order to examine the influence of parameterized westerly momentum exchange by cumulus convection on the observed Hadley circulation. Observed precipitation and 200 mb winds are ...
Numerical Experiments with a Stochastic Zonal Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A zonally averaged energy balance climate model is used to generate zonal temperature variability through fluctuating meridional energy transports. In the base model, stochastic transport fluctuations are introduced by ...
Influence of Subgrid-Scale Heterogeneity in Leaf Area Index, Stomatal Resistance, and Soil Moisture on Grid-Scale Land–Atmosphere Interactions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The statistical representation of multiple land surfaces within a grid cell has received attention as a means to parameterize the nonlinear effects of subgrid-scale heterogeneity on land-atmosphere energy exchange. However, ...
