Clouds dissipate quickly during solar eclipses as the land surface cools
Victor J. H. Trees, Stephan R. de Roode, Job I. Wiltink +4
Clouds affected by solar eclipses could influence the reflection of sunlight back into space and might change local precipitation patterns. Satellite cloud retrievals have so far n…
The Climatological Renewable Energy Deviation Index (CREDI)
Laurens P. Stoop, Karin van der Wiel, William Zappa +3
We propose an index to quantify and analyse the impact of climatological variability on the energy system at different timescales. We define the Climatological Renewable Energy Dev…
Reconciling observations of solar irradiance variability with cloud size distributions
Wouter Mol, Bart van Stratum, Wouter Knap +1
Clouds cast shadows on the surface and locally enhance solar irradiance by absorbing and scattering sunlight, resulting in fast and large solar irradiance fluctuations on the surfa…
Non-precipitating shallow cumulus convection is intrinsically unstable to length-scale growth
Martin Janssens, Jordi Vilà-Guerau de Arellano, Chiel C. van Heerwaarden +3
Condensation in cumulus clouds plays a key role in structuring the mean, non-precipitating trade-wind boundary layer. Here, we summarise how this role also explains the spontaneous…
Implementation of FAIR principles in the IPCC: The WGI AR6 Atlas repository
Maialen Iturbide, Jesús Fernández, José M. Gutiérrez +22
The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has adopted the FAIR Guiding Principles. The Atlas chapter of Working Group I (WGI) is pre…
Internal wave and turbulence observations with very high-resolution temperature sensors along the Cabauw mast
Hans van Haren, Fred. C. Bosveld
Knowledge about the characteristics of the atmospheric boundary layer is vital for the understanding of redistribution of air and suspended contents that are particularly driven by…
Restoring the top-of-atmosphere reflectance during solar eclipses: a proof of concept with the UV Absorbing Aerosol Index measured by TROPOMI
Victor J. H. Trees, Ping Wang, Piet Stammes
During a solar eclipse the solar irradiance reaching the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) is reduced in the Moon shadow. The solar irradiance is commonly measured by Earth observation satel…
A two-year intercomparison of CW focusing wind lidar and tall mast wind measurements at Cabauw
Steven Knoop, Fred Bosveld, Marijn de Haij +1
A two-year measurement campaign of the ZephIR 300 vertical profiling continuous-wave (CW) focusing wind lidar has been carried out by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute…
Record high solar irradiance in Western Europe during first COVID-19 lockdown largely due to unusual weather
Chiel C. van Heerwaarden, Wouter B. Mol, Menno A. Veerman +6
Spring 2020 broke sunshine duration records across western Europe. The Netherlands recorded the highest surface irradiance since 1928, exceeding the previous extreme of 2011 by 13…
Statistical Postprocessing for Weather Forecasts -- Review, Challenges and Avenues in a Big Data World
Stéphane Vannitsem, John Bjørnar Bremnes, Jonathan Demaeyer +21
Statistical postprocessing techniques are nowadays key components of the forecasting suites in many National Meteorological Services (NMS), with for most of them, the objective of…
A global scavenging and circulation ocean model of thorium-230 and protactinium-231 with realistic particle dynamics (NEMO-ProThorP 0.1)
Marco van Hulten, Jean-Claude Dutay, Matthieu Roy-Barman
In this paper, we set forth a 3-D ocean model of the radioactive trace isotopes Th-230 and Pa-231. The interest arises from the fact that these isotopes are extensively used for in…
Manganese in the West Atlantic Ocean in context of the first global ocean circulation model of manganese
M. M. P. van Hulten, R. Middag, J. -C. Dutay +5
Dissolved manganese (Mn) is a biologically essential element, and its oxidised form is involved in the removal of trace elements from ocean waters. Recently, a large number of high…
On the effects of circulation, sediment resuspension and biological incorporation by diatoms in an ocean model of aluminium
Marco van Hulten, Andreas Sterl, Rob Middag +4
The distribution of dissolved aluminium in the West Atlantic Ocean shows a mirror image with that of dissolved silicic acid, hinting at intricate interactions between the ocean cyc…
Meridional overturning circulation: stability and ocean feedbacks in a box model
Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Sybren S. Drijfhout, Henk A. Dijkstra
A box model of the inter-hemispheric Atlantic meridional overturning circulation is developed, including a variable pycnocline depth for the tropical and subtropical regions. The c…
Aluminium in an ocean general circulation model compared with the West Atlantic Geotraces cruises
Marco van Hulten, Andreas Sterl, Alessandro Tagliabue +4
A model of aluminium has been developed and implemented in an Ocean General Circulation Model (NEMO-PISCES). In the model, aluminium enters the ocean by means of dust deposition. T…
Sensitivity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to South Atlantic freshwater anomalies
Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Matthijs den Toom, Sybren S. Drijfhout +1
The sensitivity of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to changes in basin integrated net evaporation is highly dependent on the zonal salinity contrast at the s…
Dansgaard-Oeschger events: tipping points in the climate system
Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Sybren S. Drijfhout, Valerie Livina +1
Dansgaard-Oeschger events are a prominent mode of variability in the records of the last glacial cycle. Various prototype models have been proposed to explain these rapid climate f…
A global hybrid coupled model based on Atmosphere-SST feedbacks
Andrea A. Cimatoribus, Sybren S. Drijfhout, Henk A. Dijkstra
A global hybrid coupled model is developed, with the aim of studying the effects of ocean-atmosphere feedbacks on the stability of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.…
How unusual was autumn 2006 in Europe?
G. J. van Oldenborgh
The temperatures in large parts of Europe have been record high during the meteorological autumn of 2006. Compared to 1961-1990, the 2m temperature was more than three degrees Cels…
Extreme Associated Functions: Optimally Linking Local Extremes to Large-scale Atmospheric Circulation Structures
Debabrata Panja, Frank M. Selten
We present a new statistical method to optimally link local weather extremes to large-scale atmospheric circulation structures. The method is illustrated using July-August daily me…
Cloud boundary height measurements using lidar and radar
Victor Venema, Herman Russchenberg, Arnoud Apituley +2
Using only lidar or radar an accurate cloud boundary height estimate is often not possible. The combination of lidar and radar can give a reliable cloud boundary estimate in a much…
What caused the onset of the 1997-1998 El Nino?
Geert Jan van Oldenborgh
There has been intense debate about the causes of the 1997-1998 El Nino. One side sees the obvious intense westerly wind events as the main cause for the exceptional heating in sum…
