Simulation Uncertainty of Near-Surface Wind Caused by Boundary Layer Parameterization Over the Complex Terrain

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2020
Accurate prediction of near-surface wind based on numerical weather prediction models is essential to promote efficient wind energy harvesting. In this study, the performances of different Boundary Layer (BL) schemes in Weather Research and Forecasting ...

Changes in the Seasonally Frozen Ground Over the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Past 60 Years

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) has the largest extent of high altitude permafrost at the middle and low latitudes in northern hemisphere and is surrounded by dozens of seasonally frozen ground.

Long-term temperature trends and variability on Spitsbergen: the extended Svalbard Airport temperature series, 1898–2012 [PDF]

open access: yesPolar Research, 2014
One of the few long instrumental records available for the Arctic is the Svalbard Airport composite series that hitherto began in 1911, with observations made on Spitsbergen, the largest island in the Svalbard Archipelago.

Towards improved and more routine Earth system model evaluation in CMIP [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2016
The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) has successfully provided the climate community with a rich collection of simulation output from Earth system models (ESMs) that can be used to understand past climate changes and make projections and ...

Tropospheric Warming Over The Past Two Decades

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Satellite temperature measurements do not support the recent claim of a “leveling off of warming” over the past two decades. Tropospheric warming trends over recent 20-year periods are always significantly larger (at the 10% level or better) than model ...

Köppen bioclimatic evaluation of CMIP historical climate simulations

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2015
Köppen bioclimatic classification relates generic vegetation types to characteristics of the interactive annual-cycles of continental temperature ( T ) and precipitation ( P ).

The Short-Term Climate Prediction System FIO-CPS v2.0 and its Prediction Skill in ENSO

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The climate model is an important tool for simulating and predicting the mean state and variability of the climate system. The First Institute of Oceanography-Climate Prediction System (FIO-CPS), built on a climate model with the oceanic observation ...

Long-term sea-level change revisited: the role of salinity

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2014
Of the many processes contributing to long-term sea-level change, little attention has been paid to the large-scale contributions of salinity-driven halosteric changes.

Sowing Storms: How Model Timestep Can Control Tropical Cyclone Frequency in a GCM

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2022
With general circulation models (GCMs) being increasingly used to explore extreme events over short temporal and small spatial scales, understanding how design choices in model configuration impact simulation results is critical. This research shows that

Building Adaptation Measures Using Future Climate Scenarios—A Scoping Review of Uncertainty Treatment and Communication

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
The global climate is changing. Predicting the impacts this will have on buildings is the first step in the process of finding suitable building adaptation measures. Future climate adaptation of buildings and infrastructure is a growing field of research,
