Momentum, Heat, and Moisture Budgets of the Katabatic Wind Layer over a Midlatitude Glacier in Summer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the summer of 1994, meteorological measurements were performed on Pasterze Glacier in the eastern Alps. One of the most remarkable observations concerning the observed climate was the persistent glacier wind. On the ...
On the Interpretation of Antarctic Temperature Trends
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Determining the rate of atmospheric warming in Antarctica is hampered by the brevity of the temperature records (<50 years), which still contain signals of decadal circulation variability in the Southern Hemisphere. In ...
Simulation of Atmospheric Circulation during the GIMEX 91 Experiment Using a Meso-γ Primitive Equations Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A meso-?-scale atmospheric model has been used to simulate atmospheric circulations observed during the Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment (GIMEX). The simulations shown here are two-dimensional and cover the 12?13 July 1991 ...
Quantifying Rainfall in Greenland: A Combined Observational and Modeling Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Representation of Antarctic Katabatic Winds in a High-Resolution GCM and a Note on Their Climate Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution GCM (ECHAM-3 T106, resolution 1.1° ? 1.1°) is found to simulate many characteristic features of the Antarctic climate. The position and depth of the circumpolar storm belt, the semiannual cycle of the ...
Greenland Surface Mass Balance as Simulated by the Community Earth System Model. Part I: Model Evaluation and 1850–2005 Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he modeling of the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) requires high-resolution models in order to capture the observed large gradients in the steep marginal areas. Until now, global climate models ...

Extreme Precipitation and Climate Gradients in Patagonia Revealed by High-Resolution Regional Atmospheric Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses output of a high-resolution (5.5 km) regional atmospheric climate model to describe the present-day (1979?2012) climate of Patagonia, with a particular focus on the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Patagonian ...
The Freshwater System West of the Antarctic Peninsula: Spatial and Temporal Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate change west of the Antarctic Peninsula is the most rapid of anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere, with associated changes in the rates and distributions of freshwater inputs to the ocean. Here, results from the first ...
Temperature and Wind Climate of the Antarctic Peninsula as Simulated by a High-Resolution Regional Atmospheric Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he latest polar version of the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO2.3) has been applied to the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). In this study, the authors present results of a climate run at 5.5 km for the period 1979?2013, ...
