Abstract: nderstanding the variability and change of monsoon onset is of utmost importance for agriculture planning and water management. In the last three decades, the Asian summer monsoon onset (ASMO) has remarkably advanced, but ...

Abstract: nderstanding the change of equatorial Pacific trade winds is pivotal for understanding the global mean temperature change and the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) property change. The weakening of the Walker circulation ...

Abstract: ased on a new version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) coupled model, the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) prediction skill in boreal wintertime (November?April) is evaluated by analyzing 11 years (2003?13) ...

Abstract: AbstractMotivated by increasing demand in the community for intraseasonal predictions of weather extremes, predictive skill of tropical cyclogenesis is investigated in this study based on a global coupled model system. ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study describes the performance of two Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) in simulating the climatologies of planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameters, ...

Abstract: AbstractMost current climate models suffer from pronounced cloud and radiation biases in the Southern Ocean (SO) and in the tropics. Using one GFDL climate model, this study investigates the migration of the intertropical ...

Abstract: hile tropical cyclone (TC) prediction, in particular TC genesis, remains very challenging, accurate prediction of TCs is critical for timely preparedness and mitigation. Using a new version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics ...
