      Stevens, Bjorn; Vali, Gabor; Comstock, Kimberly; Wood, Robert; Van Zanten, Margreet C.; Austin, Philip H.; Bretherton, Christopher S.; Lenschow, Donald H. (American Meteorological Society, 2005)
      Data from recent field studies in the northeast and southeast Pacific are used to investigate pockets of open cells (POCs) that are embedded in otherwise uniform stratocumulus. The cellular structure within a POC resembles ...

    • An “A-Train” Strategy for Quantifying Direct Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols 

      Anderson, Theodore L.; Charlson, Robert J.; Bellouin, Nicolas; Boucher, Olivier; Chin, Mian; Christopher, Sundar A.; Haywood, Jim; Kaufman, Yoram J.; Kinne, Stefan; Ogren, John A.; Remer, Lorraine A.; Takemura, Toshihiko; Tanré, Didier; Torres, Omar; Trepte, Charles R.; Wielicki, Bruce A.; Winker, David M.; Yu, Hongbin (American Meteorological Society, 2005)
      This document outlines a practical strategy for achieving an observationally based quantification of direct climate forcing by anthropogenic aerosols. The strategy involves a four-step program for shifting the current ...

    • A Global Profiling System for Improved Weather and Climate Prediction 

      MacDonald, Alexander E. (American Meteorological Society, 2005)
      A new long-term global observing system is proposed that would provide routine, detailed vertical profiles of measurements in the atmosphere and oceans. The system, which would need to be designed, developed, and operated ...

    • Rethinking Snowstorms as Snow Events: A Regional Case Study from Upstate New York 

      Call, David A. (American Meteorological Society, 2005)
      Major snowstorms affecting Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, New York from 1888 to 2003 were studied to discern changes in the response to urban snow events. These cities managed snow poorly in the past, but are ...

    • The Gap between Simulation and Understanding in Climate Modeling 

      Held, Isaac M. (American Meteorological Society, 2005)
      The problem of creating truly convincing numerical simulations of our Earth's climate will remain a challenge for the next generation of climate scientists. Hopefully, the ever increasing power of computers will make this ...
