Specificities of Climate Modeling Research and the Challenges in Communicating to Users
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s engaged in climate modeling activities have become accustomed to the specificities of their field and hence less conscious of aspects that may be perplexing to outsiders. This is a natural consequence of the widespread ...
Sidelobe Contamination in Bistatic Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of sidelobe contamination in a bistatic network is explored. The McGill bistatic network consists of one S-band Doppler radar and two low-gain passive receivers at remote sites. Operational experience with the ...
Optimal Layout of a Bistatic Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bistatic Doppler radar networks have become in the last five years a viable and inexpensive alternative to multiple-Doppler networks. In this study, the optimization of the layout of a bistatic network is analyzed. The ...
Diversity in Interpretations of Probability: Implications for Weather Forecasting
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the last years, probability weather forecasts have become increasingly popular due in part to the development of ensemble forecast systems. Despite its widespread use in atmospheric sciences, probability forecasting ...
Forecasting Skill Limits of Nested, Limited-Area Models: A Perfect-Model Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The fundamental hypothesis underlying the use of limited-area models (LAMs) is their ability to generate meaningful small-scale features from low-resolution information, provided as initial conditions and at their lateral ...
Internal Variability in Regional Climate Downscaling at the Seasonal Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To study the internal variability of the model and its consequences on seasonal statistics, large ensembles of twenty 3-month simulations of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM), differing only in their initial ...
Reproducible and Irreproducible Components in Ensemble Simulations with a Regional Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution limited-area models (LAMs) have been widely employed to downscale coarse-resolution climate simulations or objective analyses. The growing evidence that LAM climate statistics can be sensitive to initial ...
Chances of Short-Term Cooling Estimated from a Selection of CMIP5-Based Climate Scenarios during 2006–35 over Canada
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he path toward a warmer global climate is not smooth, but, rather, is made up of a succession of positive and negative temperature trends, with cooling having more chance to occur the shorter the time scale considered. In ...
Quantifying the Limits of a Linear Temperature Response to Cumulative CO2 Emissions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecent studies have shown that the transient climate response to cumulative carbon emissions (TCRE) of the global temperature can be well approximated by a constant value for cumulative emissions up to about 2 TtC. However, ...
