Abstract: Climatological surface temperature and humidity variables for China are presented based on 6-hourly data from 196 stations for the period of 1961?90. Seasonal and annual means for daytime, nighttime, and the full day are ...

Abstract: Dynamical links of the Northern Hemisphere stratosphere and troposphere are studied, with an emphasis on whether stratospheric changes have a direct effect on tropospheric weather and climate. In particular, downward ...

Abstract: This study uses the most recent simulations from all available fully coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation models (CGCMs) to investigate whether the North American monsoon (NAM) precipitation seasonal?interannual ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation PSU?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5)-based regional climate model (CMM5) capability in simulating the U.S. precipitation annual cycle is evaluated with a 1982?2002 continuous baseline integration driven by ...

Abstract: This paper utilizes the best available quality data from multiple sources to develop consistent surface boundary conditions (SBCs) for mesoscale regional climate model (RCM) applications. The primary SBCs include 1) fields ...

Abstract: is developed as a climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) by incorporating numerous improvements in the representation of physical processes and integration of external (top, surface, lateral) ...
