Impacts of land process on the onset and evolution of Asian summer monsoon in the NCEP climate forecast system
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of land models and initial land conditions (ICs) on the Asian summer monsoon, especially its onset, were investigated using the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS).

TL;DR: The Data Assimilation Office (DAO) at Goddard Space Flight Center has produced a multi-year global assimilated data set with version 1 of the GEOS-1 DAS as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of the Dominant Modes of Atmospheric Quasi-Biweekly Oscillation over Tropical–Subtropical Americas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the quasi-biweekly oscillation (QBWO) of the convection has two major modes: a west-east-orientated mode (WEM) and a north-south-oriented mode (NSM), which is explained by the first two EEOF modes, originates over the eastern Atlantic, propagates westward along 15°N, and enhances over the Caribbean Sea before disappearing over the central Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Spatial Resolution on Diurnal Variability during the North American Monsoon
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the NCEP Eta Model 212 grid (40 km) model analysis to determine the influence of spatial resolution on the diurnal cycle of rainfall over southwestern North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of Model Resolutions and Initial Conditions on Predictions of the Asian Summer Monsoon by the NCEP Climate Forecast System
TL;DR: In this article, a series of 60-day hindcasts by the Climate Forecast System (CFS) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction is analyzed to understand the impacts of atmospheric model resolutions and initial conditions on predictions of the Asian summer monsoon.
