Preliminary results of the coupled CWRF-GOSSYM system
GOSSYM is a comprehensive crop growth model that has been continuously developed since the late 1970s and widely applied to assist cotton growers, crop consultants, and researchers. The state-of-art CWRF (Climate-Weather Research and Forecasting model) demonstrated skillful simulations of regional water and energy cycle processes that are keenly important to cotton growth. This study focuses on...
متن کاملCWRF Ready for Climate Service
The CWRF has been developed as the Climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF, Skamarock et al. 2008) by incorporating numerous improvements in representation of physical processes and integration of external (top, surface, lateral) forcings that are crucial to climate scales, including interactions between land–atmosphere–ocean, convection–microphysics and cloud–aeros...
متن کاملValidation of the TUV module in CWRF using USDA UV-B network observations
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the source energy for tropospheric photolysis processes, while harmful for living organism of the earth. It is thus necessary to incorporate UV radiation for an integrated earth modeling system to predict interactions between climate, chemistry and ecosystem processed. The widely-used NCAR TUV (Tropospheric Ultraviolet and Visible) radiation model has been coupled ...
متن کاملCWRF simulations of the China 1991 and 1998 summer floods
The capability of the Climate extension of the Weather Research and Forecasting (CWRF) model in simulating the 1991 and 1998 summer floods in China is evaluated with 4-month continuous integrations as driven by the NCEP/NCAR observational reanalysis. It is shown that CWRF has a pronounced downscaling skill, capturing the key characteristics in the spatial patterns and temporal evolutions of pre...
متن کاملSensitivity of CWRF simulations of the China 1998 summer flood to cumulus parameterizations
Better understanding the dynamics of the East Asian monsoon system is essential to address its climate variability and predictability. Regional climate models are useful tools for this endeavor, but require a rigorous evaluation to first establish a suite of physical parameterizations that best simulate observations. To this end, the present study focuses on the CWRF (Climate extension of WRF) ...
