A Parameterization for the Absorption of Solar Radiation by Water Vapor in the Earth's Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization for the absorption of solar radiation as a function of the amount of water vapor in the earth's atmosphere is obtained. Absorption computations are based on the Goody band model and the near-infrared ...
Aerosol–Stratocumulus–Radiation Interactions over the Southeast Pacific: Implications to the Underlying Air–Sea Coupling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecently, Chen et al. used a combination of observations and WRF simulations to illustrate that the anthropogenic aerosol?cloud microphysics?radiation interactions over the southeast Pacific can potentially reduce the ...
Effects of Cloud Optical Property Feedbacks on the Greenhouse Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud optical properties, in particular the optical thickness, affect the earth-atmosphere radiation budget, and their potential changes associated with climate changes may induce feedback effect. A one-dimensional ...
Model-Simulated Northern Winter Cyclone and Anticyclone Activity under a Greenhouse Warming Scenario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two 100-yr equilibrium simulations from the NCAR Community Climate Model coupled to a nondynamic slab ocean are used to investigate the activity of northern winter extratropical cyclones and anticyclones under a greenhouse ...
A Regional Model Simulation of the 1991 Severe Precipitation Event over the Yangtze–Huai River Valley. Part II: Model Bias
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second part of a study investigating the 1991 severe precipitation event over the Yangtze?Huai River valley (YHRV) in China using both observations and regional model simulations. While Part I reported on the ...
Precipitation Fluctuation over Semiarid Region in Northern China and the Relationship with El Niño/Southern Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In recent years the semiarid region of northern China, which has total annual precipitation between 200 and 500 mm, has shown signs of severe desertification. Intensive theoretical and observational studies are currently ...
Association of the Rainy Season Precipitation with Low-Level Meridional Wind in the Yangtze River Valley and North China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study first used measurements to establish the association between the rainy season precipitation in the Yangtze River valley (YRV) and north China (NC) and the 850-hPa meridional wind, and then evaluated the ...
Effect of Ice-Albedo Feedback on Global Sensitivity in a One-Dimensional Radiative-Convective Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The feedback between ice albedo and temperature is included in a one-dimensional radiative-convective climate model. The effect of this feedback on global sensitivity to changes in solar constant is studied for the current ...
A Regional Model Simulation of the 1991 Severe Precipitation Event over the Yangtze–Huai River Valley. Part I: Precipitation and Circulation Statistics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The summer Mei-yu event over eastern China, which is strongly influenced by large-scale circulation, is an important aspect of East Asian climate; for example, the Mei-yu frequently brings heavy precipitation to the ...
