Abstract The exchange of carbon dioxide between the ocean and atmosphere tends to bring waters within mixed layer toward equilibrium by reducing partial pressure gradient across air‐water interface. However, equilibration process is not instantaneous; in general, there a lag forcing response. timescale air‐sea depends on several factors involving depth layer, wind speed, carbonate chemistry. We use suite observational data sets generate climatological seasonal composite maps timescale....
Abstract This study investigated seasonal variations in the mass concentration and chemical composition of ambient aerosols observed at three stations (coastal, mountainous, downtown sites) northern Taiwan from March 2009 to February 2012. The results show that major aerosol components include ammonium, sulfate, nitrate, sea salt, dust, organic carbon, elemental whereas fraction each species depends on sampling location season. A significant correlation ( r = 0.7–0.8) was concentrations...
Abstract Organized mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) contribute a significant amount of precipitation in the Central and Eastern US during spring summer, which impacts availability freshwater flooding events. However, current global Earth system models cannot capture MCSs well misrepresent statistics region. In this study, we investigate representation three configurations Energy Exascale System Model (E3SMv1) by tracking individual storms based on outgoing longwave radiation using new...
Abstract Conventional low‐resolution (LR) climate models, including the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv1), have well‐known biases in simulating frequency, intensity, and timing of precipitation. Approaches to next‐generation E3SM, whether high‐resolution (HR) or multiscale modeling framework (MMF) configuration, improve simulation intensity frequency precipitation, but regional seasonal deficiencies still exist. Here we apply a methodology assess contribution tropical cyclones...
Abstract In this study, we compare the Energy Exascale Earth Systems Model (E3SM) multiscale modeling framework (MMF) with cloud resolving model (CRM) configured in two (2dMMF) and three (3dMMF) dimensions. We explore how CRM dimensionality impacts representation of mean extreme precipitation characteristics. Our results show that tropical patterns are better represented 3dMMF compared to observations (Integrated Multi‐satellitE Retrivals for GPM Global Precipitation Climatology Project One...
Abstract Warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies have been observed in the subtropical North Pacific around Hawaii recent decade, appearing from 2013. We examined formation mechanisms of warm SST terms relative contribution atmospheric forcing and oceanic dynamics, using latest reanalysis products ECMWF (ERA5 for atmosphere ORAS5 ocean). Results mixed layer budget diagnosis target area (10–20°N 180°–160°W) indicates that contributions anomalous latent heat fluxes to are dominant....
Pyomyositis is a pyogenic infection of the skeletal muscles causing myalgia and fever in patients. Hematogenous seeding engendered by persistent bacteremia septic embolism usually underlying cause disease. Trauma, intravenous drug use, immunodeficiency are main predisposing factors. Obturator internus pyomyositis with sciatica has not previously been reported. We report rare case patient subacute bacterial endocarditis presenting left buttock pain sciatica. Computed tomography confirmed...
Abstract Accurate simulation of the present-day characteristics mean and extreme precipitation at regional scales remains a challenge for Earth system models, which is due in part to deficiencies model physics such as convective parameterization (CP), coarse resolution. High horizontal resolution (HR, ∼25 km) multiscale modeling framework (MMF, i.e. replacing conventional CP with embedded km-scale cloud-resolving models) are two promising directions that could help improve interaction...
Previous studies suggest the nature of air–sea interaction tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) can strongly influence our understanding and simulation ISO characteristics. In this study, we assess representation surface components in three most up-to-date reanalyses, namely, fifth generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts' (ECMWF) reanalysis (ERA5), ERA-interim (ERAi), Japanese global atmospheric (JRA55), to identify which dataset is more suitable investigating...
