Estimating Vertical Velocity in Convective Updrafts from Temperature, Pressure, and Latent Heating
Amel Derras-Chouk, Gregory Elsaesser, Zhengzhao Johnny Luo +3
The vertical velocity in convective clouds () mediates convective anvil development and global moisture transport, influencing Earth's energy budget, but has yet to be estimat…
Accurate Column Moist Static Energy Budget in Climate Models. Part 1: Conservation Equation Formulation, Methodology, and Primary Results Demonstrated Using GISS ModelE3
Kuniaki Inoue, Maxwell Kelley, Ann M. Fridlind +2
Column-integrated moist static energy (MSE) budgets underpin theories of tropical convection and circulation, yet in reanalyses and climate models the budget rarely closes; residua…
Towards a Climate OSSE Framework for Satellite Mission Design
Ann M. Fridlind, Gregory S. Elsaesser, Marcus van Lier-Walqui +24
The rich history of observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) does not yet include a well-established framework for using climate models. The need for a climate OSSE is trigg…
A simple emulator that enables interpretation of parameter-output relationships, applied to two climate model PPEs
Qingyuan Yang, Gregory S Elsaesser, Marcus Van Lier-Walqui +1
We present a new additive method, nicknamed sage for Simplified Additive Gaussian processes Emulator, to emulate climate model Perturbed Parameter Ensembles (PPEs). It estimates th…
