Precipitation Sensitivity to Surface Heat Fluxes over North America in Reanalysis and Model Data
A newmethodology for assessing the impact of surface heat fluxes on precipitation is applied to data from the North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) and to output from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory’s Atmospheric Model 2.1 (AM2.1). The method assesses the sensitivity of afternoon convective rainfall frequency and intensity to the late-morning partitioning of latent and sensible he...
متن کاملA virtual climate library of surface temperature over North America for 1979–2015
The most comprehensive continuous-coverage modern climatic data sets, known as reanalyses, come from combining state-of-the-art numerical weather prediction (NWP) models with diverse available observations. These reanalysis products estimate the path of climate evolution that actually happened, and their use in a probabilistic context-for example, to document trends in extreme events in respons...
متن کاملA Model to Determinate the Influence of Probability Density Functions (PDFs) of Input Quantities in Measurements
Abstract: A method for analysing the effect of different hypotheses about the type of the input quantities distributions of a measurement model is presented here so that the developed algorithms can be simplified. As an example, a model of indirect measurements with optical coordinate measurement machine was employed to evaluate these different hypotheses. As a result of the different experimen...
متن کاملProbability density functions of turbulent velocity and temperature in the atmospheric surface layer
The probability density functions (pdf’s) for the longitudinal and vertical velocities, temperature, their derivatives, and momentum and sensible heat fluxes were measured in the atmospheric surface layer for a wide range of atmospheric stability conditions. The measured pdf’s for both the velocity and the temperature fluctuations are near-Gaussian and consistent with corresponding laboratory m...
متن کاملA new interpretation of sea-surface slope probability density functions
[1] Sea-surface slope probability density functions, which are usually fitted to a GramCharlier series, can be fit equally well by a bound wave/free wave model in which the distributions of bound and free waves are Gaussian. Bound waves are generated by longer waves on the surface and travel at nearly the phase speed of the long wave while free waves are generated directly by the wind and trave...
