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 ...

The tropical Pacific cold tongue mode and its associated main ocean dynamical process in CMIP5 models

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2019
The cold tongue mode (CTM), which represents the out-of-phase relationship in sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) variability between the Pacific cold tongue region and elsewhere in the tropical Pacific, shows a long-term cooling trend in the eastern ...

The role of tropical-extratropical interaction and synoptic variability in maintaining the South Pacific Convergence Zone in CMIP5 models [PDF]

, 2015
The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) is simulated as too zonal a feature in current generation climate models, including those in Phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).

Historical and Projected Surface Temperature over India during the 20th and 21st century. [PDF]

, 2017
Surface Temperature (ST) over India has increased by ~0.055 K/decade during 1860-2005 and follows the global warming trend. Here, the natural and external forcings (e.g., natural and anthropogenic) responsible for ST variability are studied from Coupled ...
