Sentences with phrase «aquaplanet simulations»

Here the authors present global aquaplanet simulations with a low - resolution, nonhydrostatic model free of convective parameterization, and describe the effect on the global climate of very large rescaling of the vertical acceleration.

These aquaplanet simulations are sometimes run with prescribed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and sometimes with prescribed heat flux through the surface (usually realized by running the atmosphere over a «slab ocean» s saturated surface with some heat capacity, and specifying an «oceanic heat flux» into or out of the slab.

The topography (e.g., the Andes) modulates the precipitation patterns so that they are less concentric about the subsolar point than in the aquaplanet simulations in Merlis and Schneider (2010).

In the first study, the research team from PNNL and Los Alamos National Laboratory used idealized global model simulations of the aquaplanet with Model for Prediction Across Scales - Atmosphere (MPAS - A) and Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) to run at low, high and variable resolutions.

This simulation with a comprehensive coupled climate model illustrates and expands upon the dynamics discussed in the context of an aquaplanet atmosphere - only model in Merlis and Schneider (2010).

Included data files give fits to the CAM4 aquaplanet GCM simulations.
