We present a two-dimensional, zonally averaged global model of atmospheric transport named MALTA: Model of Averaged in Longitude Transport in the Atmosphere. It aims to be...

The asymmetry between El Niño and La Niña is a key aspect of ENSO that needs to be simulated well by models in order to fully capture the role of ENSO in the climate system....

The momentum budget of the migrating diurnal tide (DW1) at the vernal equinox is studied using the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, version 4 (WACCM4). Classical tidal...

Functional analysis of variance (ANOVA) models partition a functional response according to the main effects and interactions of various factors. This article develops a general...

Two case studies of rainband evolution off the windward coast of the Big Island of Hawaii are presented along with an overview of the complete radar and satellite dataset from...

This report describes the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) global analyses available to NCAR. Several data sets are available with differing...

Sudden enhancement in high-frequency absorption is a well-known impact of solar flare-driven Short-Wave Fadeout (SWF). Less understood, is a perturbation of the radio wave...

While most observations indicate well-buffered clouds to aerosol perturbations, global models do not. Among the suggested mechanisms for this discrepancy is the models' lack of...

The paper extends to moist-precipitating dynamics a recently documented high-performance finite-volume module (FVM) for simulating global all-scale atmospheric flows...

The ensemble Kalman filter assumes observations to be Gaussian random variables with a pre-specified mean and variance. In practice, observations may also have detection limits,...

Reprocessed ozonesonde data from eight SHADOZ (Southern Hemisphere ADditional OZonesondes) sites have been used to derive the first analysis of uncertainty estimates for both...

Future energy demand is likely to increase due to climate change, but the magnitude dependson many interacting sources of uncertainty. We combine econometrically estimated...

Of all the major coastal upwelling systems in the world's oceans, the Benguela, located off southwest Africa, is the one that climate models find hardest to simulate well. This...

The chemical mechanism leading to SOA formation and ageing is expected to be a multigenerational process, i.e. a successive formation of organic compounds with higher oxidation...

Process-oriented diagnostics (PODs) aim to provide feedback for model developers through model analysis based on physical hypotheses. However, the step from a diagnostic based...

This study develops a general method to evaluate the contributions of localized urbanization and global climate change to long-term urban land surface temperature (ULST) change....

Numerical models are used to find approximate solutions to the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations associated with the prediction of the atmosphere. The model state...

The Model for Ozone and Related Chemical Tracers, version 3 (MOZART-3), which represents the chemical and physical processes from the troposphere through the lower mesosphere,...

This paper discusses the representation of subgrid-scale turbulent mixing in bulk models of warm (ice free) clouds, which assume instantaneous adjustment to grid-scale...
