Staggered Vertical Discretization of the Canadian Environmental Multiscale (GEM) Model Using a Coordinate of the Log-Hydrostatic-Pressure Type
Claude Girard,André Plante,Michel Desgagné,Ron McTaggart-Cowan,Jean Côté,Martin Charron,Sylvie Gravel,Vivian Lee,Alain Patoine,Abdessamad Qaddouri,Michel Roch,Lubos Spacek,Monique Tanguay,Paul A. Vaillancourt,Ayrton Zadra +14 more
TL;DR: The Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model as discussed by the authors is a grid point model with an implicit semi-Lagrangian iterative space-time integration scheme for meteorological forecasting at all scales.

TL;DR: Extratropical transition (ET) is the process by which a tropical cyclone, upon encountering a baroclinic environment and reduced sea surface temperature at higher latitudes, transforms into an extraspatial cyclone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Hurricane Catarina (2004)
Ron McTaggart-Cowan,Lance F. Bosart,Christopher A. Davis,Eyad H. Atallah,John R. Gyakum,Kerry Emanuel +5 more
TL;DR: The development of Hurricane Catarina over the western South Atlantic Ocean in March 2004 marks the first time that the existence of a hurricane has been confirmed by analysis and satellite imagery in the South Atlantic basin this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation-Induced Errors in Bulk Microphysics Schemes
TL;DR: In this paper, the error of hydrometeor sedimentation in a 1D model with no other microphysical processes active is examined. Errors in the computed (nonprognostic) moments from 0 to 7 from the bulk model runs are examined in addition to commonly used predicted variables (number concentration, mass, and reflectivity).
