Evaluation of a Regional Atmospheric Model Using Measurements of Surface Heat Exchange Processes from a Site in Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional atmospheric climate model with a horizontal grid spacing of 55 km has been used to simulate the Antarctic atmosphere during an austral summer period. ECMWF reanalyses were used to force the atmospheric prognostic ...
The Regional Climate Impact of a Realistic Future Deforestation Scenario in the Congo Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he demand for agricultural land in the Congo basin is expected to yield substantial deforestation over the coming decades. Although several studies exist on the climatological impact of deforestation in the Congo basin, ...
Temperature Sensitivity of the Antarctic Surface Mass Balance in a Regional Atmospheric Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the surface mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet to a change in temperature and a change in the sea ice extent is studied with a regional atmospheric climate model (RACMO) using a horizontal grid ...
The Impact of Size Distribution Assumptions in a Bulk One-Moment Microphysics Scheme on Simulated Surface Precipitation and Storm Dynamics during a Low-Topped Supercell Case in Belgium
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this research the impact of modifying the size distribution assumptions of the precipitating hydrometeors in a bulk one-moment microphysics scheme on simulated surface precipitation and storm dynamics has been explored ...
The Relationship between the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode and Antarctic Peninsula Summer Temperatures: Analysis of a High-Resolution Model Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large regional summer warming on the east coast of the northern Antarctic Peninsula (AP), which has taken place since the mid-1960s, has previously been proposed to be caused by a trend in the Southern Hemisphere Annular ...
The Impact of a Changing Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode on Antarctic Peninsula Summer Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Since the mid-1960s, rapid regional summer warming has occurred on the east coast of the northern Antarctic Peninsula, with near-surface temperatures increasing by more than 2°C. This warming has contributed significantly ...
Characteristics of Summer Airflow over the Antarctic Peninsula in Response to Recent Strengthening of Westerly Circumpolar Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Summer near-surface temperatures over the northeast coast of the Antarctic Peninsula have increased by more than 2°C over the past 40 years, a temperature increase 3 times greater than that on the northwest coast. Recent ...
Evaluation Framework for Subdaily Rainfall Extremes Simulated by Regional Climate Models
