This paper describes a set of metrics for evaluating the simulation clouds, radiation, and precipitation in present‐day climate. As with skill scores used to measure accuracy short‐term weather forecasts, these are low‐order statistical measures agreement relevant, well‐observed physical quantities. The encompass five summaries computed quantities (longwave, shortwave, net cloud radiative effect, projected fraction, surface rate) over global climatological annual cycle. Agreement is measured...
Abstract To date, national‐ and regional‐scale flood risk assessments have provided valuable information about the annual expected consequences of flooding, but not exposure to widespread concurrent flooding that could damaging for people economy. We present a new method assessment accommodates flooding. It is based on statistical conditional exceedance model, which fitted gauged data describes joint probability extreme river flows or sea levels at multiple locations. The can be applied...
Shelf and coastal seas are regions of exceptionally high biological productivity, rates biogeochemical cycling immense socio-economic importance. They are, however, poorly represented by the present generation Earth system models, both in terms resolution process representation. Hence, these models cannot be used to elucidate role ocean global cycles effects change (both direct anthropogenic climatic) having on them. Here, we a for simulating all around world (the Global Coastal Ocean...
Abstract To shed light onto the possible role of stochastic forcing El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), characteristics observed tropical atmospheric variability that is statistically uncoupled from slowly evolving sea surface temperature (SST) are diagnosed. The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) shown to be dominant mode within these or “stochastic” components. dominance MJO important because generates oceanic Kelvin waves and perturbs SST in equatorial Pacific may feed back Oscillation....
Abstract A principal component analysis of the combined fields sea surface temperature (SST) and zonal meridional wind reveals that dominant mode intraseasonal (30 to 70 day) covariability during northern winter in tropical Eastern Hemisphere is Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO). Regression calculations show submonthly (30-day high-pass filtered) variability significantly modulated MJO. Regions increased (decreased) propagate eastward, approximately phase with westerly (easterly) anomalies...
