A simple scheme is developed to represent Sea Surface Diurnal Cycling (SSDC) in Coupled General Circulation Models (CGCM). It follows Zeng and Beljaars [2005], but in addition...

The accuracy of rain-rate estimation using polarimetric radar measurements has been improved as a result of better characterization of radar measurement quality and rain...

In this short note, on the basis of a brief introduction on radio occultation (RO) observations and their applications, a detailed derivation of the radio occultation processing...

Results from homogeneous, isotropic turbulence suggest that predictability behavior is linked to the slope of a flow's kinetic energy spectrum. Such a link has potential...

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer...

Traditional a posteriori tests of subgrid-scale (SGS) models often compare large eddy simulation (LES) profiles of various statistics with measurements. In this study we propose...

Volatile organic compounds were quantified during two aircraft-based field campaigns using highly automated, whole air samplers with expedited post-flight analysis via a new...

Despite the proliferation of computer-based research on hydrology and water resources, such research is typically poorly reproducible. Published studies have low reproducibility...

Among techniques proposed to limit global warming, there is Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering (SAG) which is aiming to increase Earth-atmosphere albedo by injecting sulfur...

This is the second atlas in a series of four atlases from a study of the global cloud distribution from ground-based observations. The atlas covers cloud observations over the...

The variation of relative humidity across West Africa during the dry season is evaluated using the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA)...

The stratospheric influence on summertime high surface ozone (O-3) events is examined using a twenty-year simulation from the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model. We find...

To examine the claim that Global Positioning System (GPS) radio occultation (RO) data are useful as a benchmark data set for climate monitoring, the structural uncertainties of...

The storm-enhanced density (SED) is an electron density enhancement phenomenon extending from the later afternoon at middle latitude to the noontime in high latitude within a...

A new parameterization of urban areas in the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4) allows for simulation of temperature in cities where most of the global population...

The relative contributions of external forcing and internal processes to the observed spatial and temporal characteristics of "Atlantic Multidecadal Variability" (AMV) are still...

Large urban areas, commonly referred to as megacities, generally consume a huge amount of energy due to the high population density along with concentrated economic activities,...

The widening of the South Atlantic Basin led to the reorganization of regional atmospheric and oceanic circulations. However, the response of the Atlantic Intertropical...

Spinning up a highly complex, coupled Earth system model (ESM) is a time consuming and computationally demanding exercise. For models with interactive ice sheet components, this...

Recent years have seen an increase in the use of secondary data in climate adaptation research. While these valuable datasets have proven to be powerful tools for studying the...
