A Method to Linearly Evaluate Rainfall Frequency–Intensity Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study presents a method to linearly evaluate the rainfall frequency?intensity distribution, which is an important component of climatological rainfall characteristics. To grasp and represent the key information of the ...
Characteristics of Cold Season Rainfall over the Yungui Plateau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he climatic features of the distinctive cold season precipitation over the Yungui Plateau of China and the corresponding circulation background are investigated. From daily rainfall data observed with a high-density station ...
Hourly Rainfall Changes in Response to Surface Air Temperature over Eastern Contiguous China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, late-summer rainfall over eastern contiguous China is classified according to hourly intensity and the changes of moderate, intense, and extreme precipitation in response to variation of surface air temperature ...
Seasonality and Three-Dimensional Structure of Interdecadal Change in the East Asian Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A significant interdecadal cooling with vivid seasonality and three-dimensional (3D) structure is first revealed in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere over East Asia. A robust upper-tropospheric cooling appears ...
Twentieth-Century Surface Air Temperature over China and the Globe Simulated by Coupled Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines variations of the surface air temperature (SAT) over China and the globe in the twentieth century simulated by 19 coupled climate models driven by historical natural and anthropogenic forcings. Most ...
Seasonal Variation of the Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall in Southern Contiguous China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hourly station rain gauge data are employed to study the seasonal variation of the diurnal cycle of rainfall in southern contiguous China. The results show a robust seasonal variation of the rainfall diurnal cycle, which ...
Teleconnection between NAO and Climate Downstream of the Tibetan Plateau
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of the monthly NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data and station data reveals a teleconnection pattern (NAULEA) that links climate changes over the North Atlantic and Eurasia. The NAULEA pattern has five action centers. It ...
Long-Term Changes in Rainfall over Eastern China and Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation Associated with Recent Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using precipitation data from rain gauge stations over China, the authors examine the long-term variation of the durations of persistent rainfall over eastern China for the past 40 years. The variation in the regional ...
Vertical Structures and Physical Properties of the Cold-Season Stratus Clouds Downstream of the Tibetan Plateau: Differences between Daytime and Nighttime
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study compares the daytime?nighttime (DN) differences in the occurrence frequencies and macrophysical, microphysical, and radiative vertical structures of the single-layer stratus clouds downstream of the Tibetan Plateau ...
Simulations of Stratus Clouds over Eastern China in CAM5: Sensitivity to Horizontal Resolution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper evaluates the simulations of stratus clouds over eastern China (EC) in the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5 (CAM5), with an emphasis on the impact of changing horizontal resolutions on the performance. CAM5 ...
