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 ...
The Effect of Large-Scale Atmospheric Uncertainty on Streamflow Predictability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrological processes are strongly coupled with atmospheric processes related, for example, to precipitation and temperature, and a coupled atmosphere?land surface system is required for a meaningful hydrological forecast. ...
Untitled
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the performance of the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS) surface layer parameterization scheme for strongly stable conditions over land in which turbulence is weak or even disappears because of ...
Calibration and Validation of a Regional Climate Model for Pan-Arctic Hydrologic Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of polar datasets have recently been released involving in situ measurements, satellite retrievals, and reanalysis output that provide new opportunities to evaluate regional climate in the Arctic. These data have ...
Influence of Arctic Wetlands on Arctic Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Arctic?s land surface has large areas of wetlands that exchange moisture, energy, and momentum with the atmosphere. The authors use a mesoscale, pan-Arctic model simulating the summer of 1986 to examine links between ...
The Land Surface Analysis in the NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) uses the NASA Land Information System (LIS) to create its land surface analysis: the NCEP Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). Comparing to the previous two ...
Validation of Noah-Simulated Soil Temperature in the North American Land Data Assimilation System Phase 2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oil temperature can exhibit considerable memory from weather and climate signals and is among the most important initial conditions in numerical weather and climate models. Consequently, a more accurate long-term land ...
Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS): A Case Study from the 2000–01 Field Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To support the forecasting needs of the United States Antarctic Program at McMurdo, Antarctica, a special numerical weather prediction program, the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS), was established for the ...
Polar MM5 Simulations of the Winter Climate of the Laurentide Ice Sheet at the LGM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Optimized regional climate simulations are conducted using the Polar MM5, a version of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5), with a 60-km horizontal resolution domain over North ...
Performance of Weather Forecast Models in the Rescue of Dr. Ronald Shemenski from the South Pole in April 2001
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In late April 2001, an unprecedented late-season flight to Amundsen?Scott South Pole Station was made in the evacuation of Dr. Ronald Shemenski, a medical doctor seriously ill with pancreatitis. This case study analyzes ...
