Evaluating local climate in global storm-resolving models with the Köppen-Geiger classification
Chiel C. van Heerwaarden, Menno A. Veerman, Imme Benedict +11
Global storm-resolving models aspire to become digital twins of the Earth, delivering information at the local scale at which humans experience climate. We evaluated how well two s…
Comparing the dynamics of idealized squall lines between NWP and LES models
Mirjam Tijhuis, Axel Seifert, Alberto de Lozar +2
Both Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models and Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) models are used to simulate convective systems, such as squall lines, but with different purposes. NW…
Observed Patterns of Surface Solar Irradiance under Cloudy and Clear-sky Conditions
Wouter Mol, Bert Heusinkveld, Mary Rose Mangan +3
Surface solar irradiance varies on scales as small as seconds or meters due to scattering and absorption by the atmosphere. Clouds are the main driver of this variability, but mois…
Predicting atmospheric optical properties for radiative transfer computations using neural networks
Menno A. Veerman, Robert Pincus, Robin Stoffer +3
The radiative transfer equations are well-known, but radiation parametrizations in atmospheric models are computationally expensive. A promising tool for accelerating parametrizati…
