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…

Immersion freezing in particle-based aerosol-cloud microphysics: a probabilistic perspective on singular and time-dependent models
Sylwester Arabas, Jeffrey H. Curtis, Israel Silber +4
Cloud droplets containing ice-nucleating particles (INPs) may freeze at temperatures above the homogeneous freezing threshold temperature. This process, referred to as immersion fr…
