TL;DR: In this article, the effects of radiative cooling on the tropical convective response to sea surface temperature (SST) were investigated using a series of two-dimensional large domain cloud-resolving simulations.

Abstract: Intercomparison between eight radiative transfer codes used for the studies of COMS (Communications, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite) in Korea was performed under pure molecular, ie, Rayleigh atmospheres in four shortwave fluxes: 1) direct solar irradiance at the surface, 2) diffuse irradiance at the surface, 3) diffuse upward flux at the surface, and 4) diffuse upward flux at the top of the atmosphere The result (hereafter called the H15) from Halthore et al`s study (2005) which intercompared and averaged 15 codes was used as a benchmark to examine the COMS models Uncertainty of the seven COMS models except STREAMER was with respect to the H15, comparable with of Halthore et al`s (2005) The uncertainty increased under a large $SZA

TL;DR: In this paper, a decision tree analysis for tropical cyclone (TC) made landfall in South Korea during 1979-2010, track is the primary factor to predict damage occurrence and small track deviations ≤ 250 km could distinctively change the damage maps for South Korea.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used factorial simulations with an atmospheric transport model and analyses of surface ocean Pco2 observations to show that the increase is best explained by the onset of increasing seasonality of air-sea CO2 exchange over the Southern Ocean around 2000.
