Numerical Climatic-Change Experiments: The Effect of Man's Production of Thermal Energy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We describe in this paper a set of general circulation model experiments on possible climate changes caused by man's generation of thermal energy or pollution. Three experiments were carried out: one in which we introduced ...
On Global Initialization of the Primitive Equations: Part I
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of obtaining a realistic balanced relationship between the pressure field and the nondivergent velocity is examined for a global primitive equation model. Both a theoretical discussion of the atmospheric ...
Numerical Simulation of the Asian-African Winter Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper shows that a general circulation model at the National Center for Atmospheric Research is capable of simulating many aspects of the Asian-African winter monsoon. We concentrate on a climatological descriptive ...
NCAR GLOBAL GENERAL CIRCULATION MODEL OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a model of the general circulation of the earth's atmosphere which has been developed and experimented with, since 1964, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, Colo. A ...
Atmospheric Dynamics and Numerical Weather Prediction in the People's Republic of China –
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The scope of activities and accomplishments in areas of atmospheric dynamics and numerical weather prediction under investigation in the People's Republic of China during the period 1949?1966 is surveyed. The principal ...
A JANUARY SIMULATION EXPERIMENT WITH THE TWO-LAYER VERSION OF THE NCAR GLOBAL CIRCULATION MODEL
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results of a January simulation experiment with the two-layer version of the NCAR global circulation model are discussed. The model includes a hydrological cycle, horizontal and vertical turbulent transports of momentum, ...
General Circulation Experiments with a Six-Layer NCAR Model, Including Orography, Cloudiness and Surface Temperature Calculations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the method of incorporating into the NCAR global circulation model the dynamic effect of mountains, the prediction of cloudiness for radiation calculations, and the calculation of ground surface ...
A Comparison of Soil-Moisture Sensitivity in Two Global Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Area-averaged surface hydrological processes from two global spectral general circulation climate models coupled to simple slab-ocean mixed layers are compared for the climates simulated with present-day (control) and ...
Simulation Experiments with a 12-Layer Stratospheric Global Circulation Model. I. Dynamical Effect of the Earth's Orography and Thermal Influence of Continentality
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To evaluate the role of the earth's orography in the stratospheric general circulation, we conducted numerical experiments simulating January climate with and without mountains in a 12-layer NCAR global circulation model, ...
Regional Climatic Effects of Large-Scale Thermal Pollution: Simulation Studies with the NCAR General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: January and July experiments were performed with the NCAR general circulation model (GCM) to assess the potential climatic impact of the thermal energy released from a projected United States cast coast megalopolis circa ...
