Abstract: AbstractThe land surface state can be an important factor in the triggering of precipitation, whose depiction in Earth system models (ESMs) crucially relies on the representation of convective initiation. However, the ...

Abstract: his is Part II of a two-part study introducing the heated condensation framework (HCF), which quantifies the potential convective state of the atmosphere in terms of land?atmosphere interactions. Part I introduced the full ...

Abstract: his study extends the heated condensation framework (HCF) presented in Tawfik and Dirmeyer to include variables for describing the convective background state of the atmosphere used to quantify the contribution of the ...

Abstract: his paper uses 620 station years of hourly Canadian Prairie climate data to analyze the coupling of monthly near-surface climate with opaque cloud, a surrogate for radiation, and precipitation anomalies. While the cloud?climate ...

Abstract: AbstractA series of idealized prescribed soil moisture experiments is performed with the atmosphere/land stand-alone configuration of the Community Earth System Model, version 1, in an effort to find sources of predictability ...

Abstract: AbstractSolid wastes with negative environmental impacts can be transformed into valuable building materials. The current study presents an experimental investigation into the properties of ground granulated blast furnace ...

Abstract: AbstractLand?atmosphere (L-A) interactions are a main driver of Earth?s surface water and energy budgets; as such, they modulate near-surface climate, including clouds and precipitation, and can influence the persistence ...
