A linear CO chemistry parameterization in a chemistry-transport model: evaluation and application to data assimilation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper presents an evaluation of a new linear parameterization valid for the troposphere and the stratosphere, based on a first order approximation of the carbon monoxide (CO) continuity equation. This linear scheme (hereinafter noted LINCO) has been

How Well Do CMIP6 Models Simulate the Influence of the West African Westerly Jet on Sahel Precipitation?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Climate models generally reproduce the WAWJ and August peak but simulate its onset prematurely and too strongly relative to ERA5. CMIP6 simulations struggle to reproduce the jet–precipitation relationship in the Sahel and underrepresent associated moisture transports.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Model Sensitive in Numerical of the Formation of Typhoon Robyn (1993)

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2006
The PSU-NCAR mesoscale model MM5 with an 81-km (27-km) resolution coarse (fine) grid is used to simulate the formation of Typhoon Robyn (1993) in the western North Pacific. This study examines the roles of mesoscale convective system (MCS) during Robyn’s

Turbulent Chemical Diffusion in Convectively Bounded Carbon Flames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
It has been proposed that mixing induced by convective overshoot can disrupt the inward propagation of carbon deflagrations in super-asymptotic giant branch stars.

Linking Process‐Induced Degradation to Mechanical Property Deterioration in Flax Fiber–Reinforced Bio‐Polymer Matrix Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effect of processing‐induced thermal degradation on the mechanical performance of thermoplastic flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT The drawback of biobased polymer matrix composites (PMCs) is their limited temperature stability, resulting from degradation, which restricts their processability in established composite manufacturing processes requiring ...

Earth System Modeling 2.0: A Blueprint for Models That Learn From Observations and Targeted High-Resolution Simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Climate projections continue to be marred by large uncertainties, which originate in processes that need to be parameterized, such as clouds, convection, and ecosystems. But rapid progress is now within reach.

Growth of Spread in Convection-Allowing and Convection-Parameterizing Ensembles

open access: yesWeather and Forecasting, 2010
Abstract During the 2007 NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed Spring Experiment, a 10-member 4-km grid-spacing Storm-Scale Ensemble Forecast (SSEF) system was run in real time to provide experimental severe weather forecasting guidance. Five SSEF system members used perturbed initial and lateral boundary conditions (ICs and LBCs) and mixed ...

Dynamics and model representation of two contrasting extreme precipitation events in the Sahel

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Hovmöller diagrams of the two investigated extreme precipitation events in Mali are shown for (i) IMERG observations, and ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model (ICON) runs with parameterization of explicit convection (ii) enabled and (iii) disabled. This work highlights that the commonly perceived benefit of using explicit convection in a state‐of‐the‐art ...

Machine‐learning approaches for characterizing the raindrop size distributions in Western Pacific tropical cyclones

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Long‐term disdrometer observations are utilized to derive Z–R relationships for ‐the Western Pacific tropical cyclones. A hybrid moment‐based approach is employed to determine the interrelationships among pairs of gamma distribution parameters. Enhanced estimates of rainfall rate and slope parameter are obtained using machine‐learning techniques ...
