Intermodel spread of East Asian summer monsoon simulations in CMIP5
In this paper we diagnose the intermodel spread in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) simulations in the context of the moist static energy and moisture budgets. We find that the spatial distribution of the EASM precipitation simulated by different models is highly correlated with the meridional stationary eddy velocity, defined as the dev...
متن کاملThe Saharan Elevated Mixed Layer and its Aerosol Optical Depth
Schematic Skew-T soundings can be used to estimate the depth of elevated mixed layers and their origins thousands of kilometers downstream from their source regions. Focus is on the elevated mixed layer from the Sahara, the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), and its relationship to aerosol optical depth. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements and SAL depth determined from atmospheric soundings were tab...
متن کاملLarge eddy simulations of mixed layer instabilities and sampling strategies
The ocean's surface mixed layer is notoriously complex due to high spatial and temporal gradients of density and velocity fields. The surface mixed layer also exhibits sub-mesoscale instabilities which are challenging to observe due to their small scale and fast temporal evolution. Nevertheless, the small and sub-mesoscales represent the range of scale of naval operations and thus anomalous cur...
متن کاملEvaluating medical student engagement during virtual patient simulations: a sequential, mixed methods study
BACKGROUND Student engagement is an important domain for medical education, however, it is difficult to quantify. The goal of this study was to investigate the utility of virtual patient simulations (VPS) for increasing medical student engagement. Our aims were specifically to investigate how and to what extent the VPS foster student engagement. This study took place at A.T. Still University Sc...
متن کاملBarrier layer in the South China Sea during summer 2000
Abstract. Using temperature-salinity profiles obtained from a cruise in summer 2000, the structure and formation of the barrier layer (BL) in the South China Sea (SCS) are investigated. Fresh water flux, ocean circulation, and wind stirring are important for BL formation, depending on regions. In the eastern SCS, Philippine mountains induce heavy rainfall, resulting in a fresh water cap at the ...
