An Improved Dynamical Downscaling Method with GCM Bias Corrections and Its Validation with 30 Years of Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n improved dynamical downscaling method (IDD) with general circulation model (GCM) bias corrections is developed and assessed over North America. A set of regional climate simulations is performed with the Weather Research ...
Assessing the Capability of a Regional-Scale Weather Model to Simulate Extreme Precipitation Patterns and Flooding in Central Texas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional-scale weather model is used to determine the potential for flood forecasting based on model-predicted rainfall. Extreme precipitation and flooding events are a significant concern in central Texas, due to both ...
Effects of Frozen Soil on Snowmelt Runoff and Soil Water Storage at a Continental Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The presence of ice in soil dramatically alters soil hydrologic and thermal properties. Despite this important role, many recent studies show that explicitly including the hydrologic effects of soil ice in land surface ...
Hydrometeorological Response of the Modeled North American Monsoon to Convective Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the second part of a study to document the sensitivity of the modeled regional moisture flux patterns and hydrometeorological response of the North American monsoon system (NAMS) to convective ...
Comparative Evaluation of BATS2, BATS, and SiB2 with Amazon Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the last decade, improved understanding of plant physiological processes has generated a significant change in the way stomatal functioning is described in advanced land surface schemes. New versions of two advanced ...
Global Soil Moisture Estimation by Assimilating AMSR-E Brightness Temperatures in a Coupled CLM4–RTM–DART System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ery few frameworks exist that estimate global-scale soil moisture through microwave land data assimilation (DA). Toward this goal, such a framework has been developed by linking the Community Land Model, version 4 (CLM4), ...
Use of a Coupled Land Surface General Circulation Model to Examine the Impacts of Doubled Stomatal Resistance on the Water Resources of the American Southwest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tiny openings on the surfaces of leaves, stomata, control the flux of CO2, water vapor, and other gases between the atmosphere and the earth?s vegetated surface. An increase in atmospheric CO2 could have an effect on ...
Sensitivity of the Modeled North American Monsoon Regional Climate to Convective Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper documents the sensitivity of the modeled evolution of the North American monsoon system (NAMS) to convective parameterization in terms of thermodynamic and circulation characteristics, stability profiles, and ...
Retrieving Accurate Soil Moisture over the Tibetan Plateau Using Multisource Remote Sensing Data Assimilation with Simultaneous State and Parameter Estimations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Impact of Noah-MP Physical Parameterizations on Modeling Water Availability during Droughts in the Texas–Gulf Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
