Nonhydrostatic icosahedral atmospheric model (NICAM) for global cloud resolving simulations
A new type of ultra-high resolution atmospheric global circulation model is developed. The new model is designed to perform ‘‘cloud resolving simulations’’ by directly calculating deep convection and meso-scale circulations, which play key roles not only in the tropical circulations but in the global circulations of the atmosphere. Since cores of deep convection have a few km in horizontal size...
متن کاملExplicit Simulation of Midlatitude Cumulus Ensembles: Comparison with ARM Data
This study describes some results from several simulations of cumulus ensembles at the Southern Great Plains site of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program during the July 1995 Intensive Observation Period (IOP). A 2D cloud ensemble model (CEM) is used to simulate the macroscopic properties of midlatitude cumulus ensembles. The observed large-scale, horizontal advective tendencies ...
متن کاملEffective Synoptic Structures in the Supporting Dust Storms over the Persian Gulf
In the paper, the atmospheric conditions in the Persian Gulf region and southwest of Iran were studied by analyzing several case studies in cold and warm seasons. For this purpose, three case studies were selected from the dust events occurred between September and March and have been studied using meteorological stations data, satellite imagery, ECMWF global data, and HYSPLIT and DREAM outputs...
متن کاملAccounting for Pliem-Xiu and NOAH Module to Simulate Dust: A Case of Western Areas of Ahwaz
Extended abstract 1- INTRODUCTION In the arid and semi-arid areas of Asia, dust storms occur frequently. Much progress has been made in the monitoring modeling and prediction of Asian dust storms. Dust emission is caused by wind erosion in the sensitive areas. Wind erosion is described as the transportation of soil particles by means of the wind. Soil Surface moisture is one of the most i...
متن کاملObservational evidence for relationships between the degree of aggregation of deep convection, water vapor, surface fluxes, and radiation
Tropical deep convection exhibits complex organization over a wide range of scales. This study investigates the relationships between the spatial organization of deep convection and the large-scale atmospheric state. By using several satellite datasets and reanalyses, and by defining a simple diagnostic of convective aggregation, relationships between the degree of convective aggregation and th...
