Abstract: The performance of several schemes for diagnosing cloud cover from forecast model output was tested using a global numerical weather prediction model and the operational USAF RTNEPH (real-time nephanalysis) cloud analysis. ...

Abstract: In this paper we present the results of numerical investigation of a two-dimensional nonlinear set of Boussinesq equations governing Bénard?Rayleigh convection using spectral representation in the horizontal direction and ...

Abstract: In the present paper, we review a new method for relating cloud observations to large-scale variables of general circulation models. The method is based on an application of the cluster analysis to synoptic analyses Of ...
