How Well Do High Resolution Models Represent Tropical Convection?
Cascade is a multi-institution project studying the temporal and spatial organization of tropical convective systems. While cloud resolving numerical models can reproduce the observed diurnal cycle of such systems they are sensitive to the chosen resolution. As part of this effort, we are comparing results from the Met. Office Unified Model to data from the Global Earth Radiation Budget satelli...
متن کاملHow well do general practitioners manage dyspepsia?
This paper reports the incidence of dyspepsia in general practice, the characteristics of patients, the types of complaints presented and the management of the dyspeptic patient by general practitioners. Fourteen general practitioners in the Maastricht region of the Netherlands studied 318 consecutive patients presenting with dyspepsia. Two questionnaires were used: one filled in by the patient...
متن کاملHow do feature maps represent?
Three different ways to understand the representational content of the feature maps employed in early vision are compared. First is Stephen Kosslyn's claim, entered as part of the debate over mental imagery, that such areas support "depictive" representation, and that visual perception uses them as depictive representations. Reasons are given to doubt this view. Second, an improved version of w...
متن کاملDo General Circulation Models Underestimate the Natural Variability in the Arctic Climate?
The authors examine the natural variability of the arctic climate system simulated by two very different models: the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) global climate model, and an area-averaged model of the arctic atmosphere–sea ice–upper-ocean system called the polar cap climate model, the PCCM. A 1000-yr integration of the PCCM is performed in which the model is driven by a prescri...
متن کاملGulf Stream Variability in Five Oceanic General Circulation Models
Five non-eddy-resolving oceanic general circulation models driven by atmospheric fluxes derived from the NCEP reanalysis are used to investigate the link between the Gulf Stream (GS) variability, the atmospheric circulation, and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Despite the limited model resolution, the temperature at the 200-m depth along the mean GS axis behaves similarl...
