    No full text
    Data in support of the paper "The Lack of a QBO-MJO Connection in Climate Models with a Nudged Stratosphere" by Zane K. Martin, Isla R. Simpson, Pu Lin, Clara Orbe, Qi Tang, Julie M. Caron, Chih-Chieh Chen, Hyemi Kim, L. Ruby Leung, Jadwiga H. Richter, and Shaocheng Xie, currently in preparation for submission. Data is organized by model, then ensemble member, then the temporal data resolution. Daily data are daily model OLR (olr/) and precipitation (precip/) in lat/lon/time format, over at least the tropical region spanning all longitudes and 20N to 20S. Daily data also include the Real-time Multivariate MJO index (RMM; RMM_index/) value from each model and ensemble members. OLR and precip files are provided on a 2.5 x 2.5 degree similar grid, rather than the models' native grid. Monthly data are temperature (temp/, at all vertical levels and all longitudes, from at least 20N to 20S, and the 100 hPa temperature file, as described more in the paper) zonal wind (at all vertical levels, and the 50 hPa wind file; wind/), and TEM vertical velocity (wtem/)

    A multi-algorithm approach for modeling coastal wetland eco-geomorphology

    No full text
    Coastal wetlands play an important role in the global water and biogeochemical cycles. Climate change makes it more difficult for these ecosystems to adapt to the fluctuation in sea levels and other environmental changes. Given the importance of eco-geomorphological processes for coastal wetland resilience, many eco-geomorphology models differing in complexity and numerical schemes have been developed in recent decades. However, their divergent estimates of the response of coastal wetlands to climate change indicate that substantial structural uncertainties exist in these models. To investigate the structural uncertainty of coastal wetland eco-geomorphology models, we developed a multi-algorithm model framework of eco-geomorphological processes, such as mineral accretion and organic matter accretion, within a single hydrodynamics model. The framework is designed to explore possible ways to represent coastal wetland eco-geomorphology in Earth system models and reduce the related uncertainties in global applications. We tested this model framework at three representative coastal wetland sites: two saltmarsh wetlands (Venice Lagoon and Plum Island Estuary) and a mangrove wetland (Hunter Estuary). Through the model–data comparison, we showed the importance of using a multi-algorithm ensemble approach for more robust predictions of the evolution of coastal wetlands. We also found that more observations of mineral and organic matter accretion at different elevations of coastal wetlands and evaluation of the coastal wetland models at different sites in diverse environments can help reduce the model uncertainty

Am, 52, 251, 1962.Author Institution: Bell Telephone Laboratories Incorporated“The ruby laser has been used successfully by Porto and Wood as a source of Raman effect.1effect.^{1} The main difficulty in their original experiments wag the large number of flashes necessary to obtain the effect even for CCl4CCl_{4} and C8H4C_{8}H_{4}. Recent improvements in our instrumentation, the most important of which is a more powerful later, has mode it possible to obtain tile Raman effect of 992cm1992 cm^{-1} vibration if benzene in one laser burst. Details of the instrumentation will be discussed well as the possibility of using the gas lasers as source for the Raman effect.

    Precipitation objects under the current and future climate: WRF 6-km hydroclimate simulation of the western US

    No full text
    This folder includes the precipitation objects that are used in the following manuscript: Chen et al., Sharpening of Cold Season Storms over the Western US. It is generated using WRF V3.8 at PNNL. A historical simulation ("NARR") is done for 1981-2010, and five future simulations ("CanESM2", "CESM1-CAM5", "GFDL-ESM2M", "HadGEM2-ES", "MPI-ESM-MR") are done for 2041-2070 using the Pseudo Global Warming (PGW) approach. For the WRF model configuration and the simulation details, please refer to the abovementioned manuscript and Chen et al. (2018). This is the preliminary version of the dataset that contains the precipitation object features as analyzed in the manuscript. More data (including the WRF raw precipitation output) and the finalized scripts will be included here before the manuscript is published. Reference: Chen, X., L. R. Ruby, Y. Gao, Y. Liu, M.
