Journal ArticleDOI
A modeling perspective on cloud radiative forcing
TL;DR: In this article, Radiation fields from a perpetual July integration of a T106 version of the ECMWF operational model are used to identify the most appropriate way to diagnose cloud radiative forcing in a general circulation model, for the purposes of intercomparison between models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Background tropospheric aerosols: Incorporation within a statistical‐dynamical climate model
Gerald L. Potter,Robert D. Cess +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the possible influence of natural background tropospheric aerosols upon the earth's present climate, and they have incorporated aerosol radiation models for continental and maritime aerosols into the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory statistical-dynamical climate model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Big Data Challenges in Climate Science: Improving the next-generation cyberinfrastructure
John L. Schnase,Tsengdar J. Lee,Chris A. Mattmann,Christopher Lynnes,Luca Cinquini,Paul Ramirez,Andrew F. Hart,Dean N. Williams,Duane E. Waliser,Pamela Rinsland,W. Phillip Webster,Daniel Duffy,M. McInerney,Glenn S. Tamkin,Gerald L. Potter,L. Carriere +15 more
TL;DR: An overview of some of climate science's big data problems and the technical solutions being developed to advance data publication, climate analytics as a service, and interoperability within the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF), which is the primary cyberinfrastructure currently supporting global climate research activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of clouds on the shortwave radiation budget of the surface-atmosphere system: Interfacing measurements and models
Robert D. Cess,Seth Nemesure,Ellsworth G. Dutton,John J. DeLuisi,Gerald L. Potter,Jean-Jacques Morcrette +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two datasets have been combined to demonstrate how the availability of more comprehensive datasets could serve to elucidate the shortwave radiative impact of clouds on both the atmospheric column and the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the temporal behavior of convection in the tropics of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts model
TL;DR: In this article, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model is analyzed in terms of the spatial and temporal characteristics of the model's convective activity in the tropics.
