The Budyko and complementary relationships in an idealized model of large-scale land–atmosphere coupling
Two well-known relationships in hydrology and hydrometeorology, the Budyko and complementary relationships, are examined within an idealized prototype representing the physics of large-scale land–atmosphere coupling developed in prior work. These relationships are shown to hold on long (climatologic) timescales because of the tight coupling that exists between precipitation, atmospheric radiati...
متن کاملQuantification of Land-Atmosphere Coupling and Implications for Drought Persistence In Observations and Model Simulations of 20th Century Climate and 21st Century Climate Change
Of all recurring natural disasters, long-term drought is one of the most devastating and costly due to large spatial extent and often long duration. The mechanisms responsible for the maintenance of long-term droughts are not well understood, however many drought analyses allege the importance of land-atmosphere feedbacks and speculate that these feedbacks will amplify changes in the hydrologic...
متن کاملImpact of Land Surface Initialization and Land-Atmosphere Coupling on the Prediction of the Indian Summer Monsoon with the CFSv2
The impact of initial land-surface states on monthly to seasonal prediction skill of the Indian summer monsoon (June–September) is investigated using a suite of hindcasts made with the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) operational forecast model. The modern paradigm of land-atmosphere coupling is applied to quantify biases in different components of the land-atmosphere coupled system an...
متن کاملInteractions between Shallow and Deep Convection under a Finite Departure from Convective Quasi Equilibrium
The present paper presents a simple theory for the transformation of nonprecipitating, shallow convection into precipitating, deep convective clouds. Tomake the pertinent point amuch idealized system is considered, consisting only of shallow and deep convection without large-scale forcing. The transformation is described by an explicit coupling between these two types of convection. Shallow con...
متن کاملCoupled atmospheric and land surface dynamics over southeast Australia: a review, analysis and identification of future research priorities
The southeastern Australian climate and climate variability is driven primarily by large-scale climate dynamics. How these dynamics translate into local effects is influenced by the nature of the landscape, the vegetation, soil moisture, fire, snow, irrigation and orography. This local land-atmosphere coupling can enhance or moderate the large-scale dynamics and have significant influences loca...
