2-D and 3-D Radiation Transfer Models of High-Mass Star Formation

, 2005
2-D and 3-D radiation transfer models of forming stars generally produce bluer 1-10 micron colors than 1-D models of the same evolutionary state and envelope mass.

Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

Observing shortwave radiation parameters at the process scale

, 2023
The next frontier in radiation science is to resolve cloud-aerosol-radiation interactions at the so-called process scale, which means at one kilometer or better – a significant advance from monitoring radiation at the 20 km footprint scale as done by the NASA’s Earth Observing System radiometers.

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as

Analysis of meteorological data from RRS Charles Darwin cruises CD46 and CD47 (BOFS experiment) [PDF]

, 1993
The IOSDL MultiMet meteorological instrumentation system was used during the BOFS experiment on RRS Charles Darwin cruises 46 and 47. This report describes and evaluates the quality of the meteorological data obtained.

Cloud Impacts on Pavement Temperature and Shortwave Radiation

Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2016
AbstractForecast systems provide decision support for end users ranging from the solar energy industry to municipalities concerned with road safety. Pavement temperature is an important variable when considering vehicle response to various weather conditions.

Three Generations of NARCliM: Evaluation of Precipitation, Temperature and Their Extremes Over the CORDEX Australasia Domain

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) builds on NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 to deliver improved regional climate simulations. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of NARCliM2.0 against its predecessors, assessing individual model skill in reproducing mean and extreme climate.

Understanding the daily cycle of evapotranspiration: a method to quantify the influence of forcings and feedbacks [PDF]

, 2010
A method to analyze the daily cycle of evapotranspiration over land is presented. It quantifies the influence of external forcings, such as radiation and advection, and of internal feedbacks induced by boundary layer, surface layer, and land surface ...
