Abstract: This study investigates the physical mechanism of low cloud feedback in the Community Atmospheric Model, version 3 (CAM3) through idealized single-column model (SCM) experiments over the subtropical eastern oceans. Negative ...

Abstract: Both the ECMWF and the NCEP?NCAR reanalyses show a strengthening of the atmospheric Hadley circulation in boreal winter over the last 50 years, but the intensification is much stronger in the ECMWF than in the NCEP?NCAR ...

Abstract: umulus (Cu) from shallow convection is one of the dominant cloud types over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) in the summer according to CloudSat-CALIPSO observation. Its thermodynamic effects on the atmospheric environment and ...

Abstract: The evolution processes of small disturbances in an arbitrary basic flow can be expressed as a combination of spectral functions of the discrete spectra and continuous spectrum of a model that bear distinctly different ...

Abstract: The growth of waves and the generation of potential energy in wave-CISK require unstable waves to tilt with height oppositely to their direction of propagation. This makes the structures and instability properties of these ...

Abstract: Marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds can significantly regulate the sensitivity of climate models, yet they are currently poorly simulated. This study aims to characterize the seasonal variations of physical properties of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of vertical shear of the mean zonal flow on CISK waves in a spherical geometry. A linearized primitive equation model, including mean zonal flow, on a sphere is designed to generalize ...
