Sentences with phrase «km grid spacing»
Our lab is actively developing global atmospheric climate models with roughly 50 and 25 km grid spacing (even finer models are being run very experimentally), and there are a number of related efforts around the world.

Approximately 1300 five - day idealized simulations are performed using a higher - resolution version of the GFDL hurricane prediction system (grid spacing as fine as 9 km, with 42 levels).»
The response of low clouds to warming is uncertain because the dynamics governing low clouds occur on scales of tens of meters, whereas climate models have horizontal grid spacings of 50 — 100 km (see the sketch at the top).
For compatibility, we keep the grid spacing of 6.25 km, although the resolution of the SSMIS 91 GHz data (footprint size) is 13.2 by 15.5 km
«They are relatively small - scale features, only a few hundreds of kilometres wide, and therefore can only start to be realistically resolved in models with a horizontal grid spacing of around 12 km,» said Martinez - Alvarado.

The GFDL hurricane model (with a grid spacing as fine as 9 km) is able to simulate the frequency, intensity, and structure of the more intense hurricanes, such as category 3 - 5 storms, much more realistically than the regional (18 km grid) model.
