Some studies have suggested that this mass loss may have been caused by the warmer temperature over the Southern Ocean in the LIG compared with the present interglacial. However, the ultimate cause of the difference in Antarctic warming between the last and current interglacials has not been explained. Here, based on transient simulations of the last deglaciation using a fully coupled ocean–atmosphere model, we show that greater meltwater (by a factor of 1.5 relative to the last deglaciation) during the middle and later stages of the deglaciation could have produced the difference in Antarctic warmth. Northern Hemisphere ice sheet model experiments suggest that the difference in meltwater was caused by slightly smaller orbital eccentricity in our current interglacial than in the LIG, indicating that mass loss of the Antarctic ice sheet is influenced by the preceding northern summer insolation and disintegration of Northern Hemisphere ice sheets.</p>","PeriodicalId":14836,"journal":{"name":"Japan Geoscience Union","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81882157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Miyoshi","doi":"10.2151/sola.2020-002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2151/sola.2020-002","url":null,"abstract":"The observation operator of Phased Array Weather Radar (PAWR; Ushio et al. 2014; Yoshikawa et al. 2013) in the SCALE-LETKF data assimilation system (Lien et al., 2017) is revisited, and the impact of improving the observation operator on the analysis is examined. Previous studies (Miyoshi et al., 2016, IEEE; Miyoshi et al., 2016, BAMS) have shown that the three-dimensional fine-scale structure of radar signals observed by PAWR can be successfully assimilated to produce a high-resolution analysis using a regional model SCALE-RM and the local ensemble transformed Kalman filter (LETKF). Forecasts using a high-resolution regional model from the analysis field has a potential to provide reliable precipitation forecasts for longer period of time than a simple nowcasting technique based on an advection scheme, since the explicit physical processes would allow us to capture the development of new convective cells. However, even with an analysis field incorporating such detailed observational data, accurate forecasting of localized convection systems is generally a challenging issue. In the previous studies mentioned above, there was a known problem that the area of strong radar echo calculated from the forecast field starts to expand unrealistically even within several minutes. Along with systematic model biases and imbalance, the observation operator could be the cause of this misrepresentation. Therefore, the observation operator of PAWR is revisited in this study. The observation operator calculates equivalent radar reflectivity factor (Ze [mm6/m3] ) from hydrometeor mass density of each particle categories (W [g/m]). The cloud microphysics scheme in SCALE-RM (Tomita et al., 2008) is a 1-moment 6-caterogy scheme. They include 3 categories for precipitation particles, namely, rain, snow, and graupel. The relation between Ze and each of W is obtained by an offline numerical calculation of Mie scattering and approximated in the form of an exponential function. Ze=αrexp(βr)+αsexp(βs)+αgexp(βg) Previous studies used values from a literature (Xue et al., 2009) for the coefficients. However, the coefficients used for graupel (αg and βg) has been originally calculated using assumptions about the particle size distribution different from those in SCALE-RM. In particular, a multiplicative factor of the particle size distribution of graupel in SCALE-RM is much smaller in their calculation (N0=3×10 4 m) than that in SCALE-RM (N0=4×10 6 m). This leads to an underestimation in sensitivity of graupel mass to observed radar reflectivity factor. The new coefficients for graupel are chosen to be consistent with the SCALE-RM cloud microphysics scheme using the Joint-Simulator developed by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The results are αg=5.54×10 3 ,βg=1.70 , where the original values from the literature are αg=8.18×10 4,βg=1.50 .
