Abstract: he arbitrarily structured C grid, Thuburn?Ringler?Skamarock?Klemp (TRiSK), is being used in the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) and is being considered by the Met Office for their next dynamical core. However, ...

Abstract: teep orography can cause noisy solutions and instability in models of the atmosphere. A new technique for modeling flow over orography is introduced that guarantees curl-free gradients on arbitrary grids, implying that the ...

Abstract: revious studies using coupled general circulation models (GCMs) suggest that the atmosphere model plays a dominant role in the modeled El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and that intermodel differences in the thermodynamical ...

Abstract: Alternative meshes of the sphere and adaptive mesh refinement could be immensely beneficial for weather and climate forecasts, but it is not clear how mesh refinement should be achieved. A finite-volume model that solves ...

Abstract: urrently, most operational forecasting models use latitude?longitude grids, whose convergence of meridians toward the poles limits parallel scaling. Quasi-uniform grids might avoid this limitation. Thuburn et al. and Ringler ...

Abstract: While the Indian monsoon exhibits substantial variability on interannual time scales, its intraseasonal variability (ISV) is of greater magnitude and hence of critical importance for monsoon predictability. This ISV comprises ...

Abstract: The northward-propagating intraseasonal (30?40 day) oscillation (NPISO) between active and break monsoon phases exerts a critical control on summer-season rainfall totals over India. Advances in diagnosing these events and ...

Abstract: The prediction of climate variability and change requires the use of a range of simulation models. Multiple climate model simulations are needed to sample the inherent uncertainties in seasonal to centennial prediction. ...

Abstract: newly assembled atmosphere?ocean coupled model, called HadKPP, is described and then used to determine the effects of subdaily air?sea coupling and fine near-surface ocean vertical resolution on the representation of the ...
