Climate models generate a wide range of precipitation responses to global warming in the African Sahel, but all that use the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory AM2.1...

Multidecadal variability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is investigated diagnostically in the NCAR Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3)...

The Terrain-Induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX) is a coordinated international project, composed of an observational field campaign and a research program, focused on the...

Five sets of 48-h, 10-member, convection-allowing ensemble (CAE) forecasts with 3-km horizontal grid spacing were systematically evaluated over the conterminous United States...

Workshop on Metrics and Methodologies of Estimation of Extreme Climate Events; Paris, France, 27–29 September 2010; Climate projections point toward more frequent and intense...

Drainage of cold air down a small valley and associated near-surface wind maxima are examined from 20 stations with sonic anemometers at 1 m and from a 20-m tower that includes...

Climate data sets with both spatial and temporal components are often studied after removing from each time series a temporal mean calculated over a common reference interval,...

National Center for Atmospheric Research Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) with quasi-uniform grid of similar to 25-km horizontal resolution can resolve gravity...

Various generalizations of the univariate rank histogram have been proposed to inspect the reliability of an ensemble forecast or analysis in multidimensional spaces....

This study examines differences in the surface black carbon (BC) aerosol loading between the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and the Arabian Sea (AS) and identifies dominant sources of BC...

We describe the baseline coupled model configuration and simulation characteristics of GFDL's Earth System Model Version 4.1 (ESM4.1), which builds on component and coupled...

Large-scale tracer transport in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is investigated using simulations of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM)...

Dry air, water vapor, hydrometeors, and other particulates (sand, dust, aerosols, and volcanic ash) in the atmosphere introduce microwave propagation delays. These delays must...

This study presents a method for comparing convection-permitting model simulations to radar observations using an innovative object-based approach. The method uses the automated...

The purpose of this technical note is to provide a concise User's Guide for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ELectra DOppler RAdar (ELDORA) data collected...

Continuous carbon monoxide (CO) total column densities above the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) campus in Mexico City have been derived from solar absorption...

We compare space-based measurements of carbon monoxide ( CO) during April 1994 and October 1984 and 1994 from the early MAPS instrument with those during 2000-2004 from the...

Geospace phenomena such as the aurora, plasma motion, ionospheric currents and associated magnetic field disturbances are highly organized by Earth's main magnetic field. This...

A new approach for analyzing multiscale properties of the atmospheric flow is proposed in this study. For that, the recently introduced isentropic streamfunctions are employed...

The future retreat rate for marine-based regions of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is one of the largest uncertainties in sea-level projections. The Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison...
