A theoretical approach to assess soil moisture–climate coupling across CMIP5 and GLACE-CMIP5 experiments [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2018 Terrestrial climate is influenced by various land–atmosphere interactions that involve numerous land surface state variables. In several regions on Earth, soil moisture plays an important role for climate via its control on the partitioning of net ...

Representation of Western Disturbances in CMIP5 Models [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2019 AbstractWestern disturbances (WDs) are synoptic extratropical disturbances embedded in the subtropical westerly jet stream. They are an integral part of the South Asian winter climate, both for the agriculture-supporting precipitation they bring to the region and for the associated isolated extreme events that can induce devastating flash flooding ...

How well do CMIP5 climate simulations replicate historical trends and patterns of meteorological droughts? [PDF]
, 2015 Assessing the uncertainties and understanding the deficiencies of climate models are fundamental to developing adaptation strategies. The objective of this study is to understand how well Coupled Model Intercomparison-Phase 5 (CMIP5) climate model ...

Causal networks for climate model evaluation and constrained projections [PDF]
, 2020 Global climate models are central tools for understanding past and future climate change. The assessment of model skill, in turn, can benefit from modern data science approaches. Here we apply causal discovery algorithms to sea level pressure data from a

Constraining uncertainty in aerosol direct forcing [PDF]
, 2020 The uncertainty in present-day anthropogenic forcing is dominated by uncertainty in the strength of the contribution from aerosol. Much of the uncertainty in the direct aerosol forcing can be attributed to uncertainty in the anthropogenic fraction of ...
