Abstract The current generation of coupled climate models run at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) as part Climate Change Science Program contains ocean components that differ in almost every respect from those contained previous generations GFDL models. This paper summarizes new physical features and examines simulations they produce. Of two model versions 2.1 (CM2.1) 2.0 (CM2.0), CM2.1 represents a major improvement over CM2.0 most oceanic examined, with strikingly lower...

Abstract The growing demand for renewable energy underscores the importance of accurate dust forecasting in regions with abundant wind and solar resources. However, leading real‐time global numerical weather prediction (NWP) models often lack modules due to computational constraints. Current “Near‐Real‐Time” services can only run after completion NWP, failing meet timeliness requirements reporting power generation plans grids. This work proposes a dust‐weather integrated (iDust) model...

Wind speed is one of the most sensitive meteorological factors influencing dust storm simulations. The emission threshold wind (ut) represents critical point, beyond which increases notably as intensifies. However, ut exhibits spatial and temporal variability, lacks direct measurement compared to conventional parameters, challenging estimate. This study integrates in-situ observations, satellite data, reanalysis datasets develop a global dataset. Site-specific values are determined using...

The Geostationary Interferometric InfraRed Sounder (GIIRS) provides a novel opportunity to acquire high-spatiotemporal-resolution atmospheric information. Previous studies have demonstrated the positive impacts of assimilating GIIRS radiances from either long-wave temperature or middle-wave water vapor bands on modeling high-impact weather processes. However, impact both forecast skill has been less investigated, primarily due non-identical geolocations for bands. In this study, locally...
