The literature on climatic forecasting falls into two broad categories, physics and time series models, the latter encompassing both statistical methods and artificial intelligence. This study compares nonlinear regressions, physics models and a combined model in which the physics forecasts are used as inputs in a neural net. The regressions are estimated in first differences, and use lags of the sea surface temperature in the equatorial Pacific. The physics forecasts are from the Seasonal-to-Multiyear Large Ensemble (SMYLE) database, which uses the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) run at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The physics model is tested with and without bias correction. The bias correction uses an adjustment factor calculated from earlier simulations. The combined model uses long lags of sea surface temperature and the physics forecasts. Forecasting experiments are run over 1–24-month horizons, starting at four inception points. The errors are then sorted by lead times, and ensemble averages are taken. Although the regressions capture more of the dependence between proximate values, their accuracy falls away rapidly as the horizon extends. The accuracy of the physics models is found to fluctuate substantially over the forecast horizon. Bias correction improves at some but not all horizons. The combined model achieves the most accurate forecasts at the majority of lead times, although there are cases where it is less accurate. Despite the ambiguity of the findings, the results suggest that the most promising approach is to combine physics models with artificial intelligence techniques.","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, satellite images of the central Amazon region were used to identify the occurrence of SLs between 2014, considered as a typical year, and 2015, characterize by a strong El Nino. Subsequently, fast response data from the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) site were used to establish the effects of SLs on surface parameters and the differences between the typical and strong El Niño years. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is an influence in El Niño years on the number of occurrences of SLs and consequently on the impact that these phenomena exert on the variables, such as: precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, radiation and turbulent fluxes calculated by the eddy covariance method. Average daily cycles of these variables were used for different seasons (dry and rainy) for both years. When SLs were detected, increasing in (i) precipitation rates; (ii) wind speed; (iii) relative humidity; and (2) decreasing in (i) air temperature; (ii) shortwave radiation; (iii) sensible and latent heat flux were observed. The CO2 flux, on the other hand, reversed its sign during the presence of SLs, in both observed years. The influence of the El Niño phenomenon in the SLs formation and their impact on the meteorological quantities (turbulent fluxes and thermodynamics variables) measured just above the canopy top is discussed.","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 166 HRE were identified, characterized by daily accumulations exceeding 34 mm. The classification revealed four primary synoptic patterns associated with HRE in MRPA. Two of these patterns were linked to the movement of a typical cold front, while the other two were associated with cyclogenetic processes. In three of the patterns, two days before the occurrence of HRE in MRPA, anomalous northwesterly winds at the 850 hPa level were observed, influenced by the presence of the North-Western Argentinean Low (NAL) or Chaco Low (CHL). These winds intensified the advection of warm and moist air over a significant part of the RS State, favoring in increased rainfall in the MRPA. The four synoptic patterns showed a convective system beginning one day before the occurrence of HRE in MRPA, with the synoptic pattern associated with cyclogenesis in Uruguay exhibiting the most intense Mesoscale convective system (MCS) around the MRPA. Finally, the synoptic pattern associated with cyclogenesis in the eastern part of Santa Catarina (SC) State featured anomalous easterly winds over the eastern RS State since Day -1. This pattern facilitated increased surface mass convergence, leading to the intensification of rainfall in the MRPA.","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because sea spray has a notable impact under severe wind conditions, the CBLAST-Hurricane experiment supplies the initial realistic conditions as well as turbulence measurements for their assessment. However a hurricane boundary layer (HBL) simulation is not in the scope of this study. Although the simulations in the final state depart from the initial conditions, all three momentum flux distributions are found at the low end of the observed range. The spray-mediated sensible heat flux is opposite to the interfacial flux and reaches up to 60% of its magnitude. When the spray-mediated contribution is taken into consideration, the simulated moisture flux increases by up to 45% and gets closer to the observations. Small scale stream-wise velocity streaks are arranged, probably due to spray effects, into large scale structures where the scalars' variations tend to concentrate. However, the vertical velocity structure below mid-MABL is not greatly affected as the buoyancy forces locally within these structures are negligible. Spray effects greatly enhance the magnitude of the quadrant components of the scalar fluxes, but the net effect is less pronounced. Spray-mediated contribution results in more extended cloud decks in the form of marine stratocumulus with increased liquid water content. The visually thicker clouds reduce the total surface radiation by up to 30 ({text{Wm}}^{-2}).","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The profound relationship between ISMR and El Nino southern oscillation (ENSO) is getting weaker, due to which the impact of other climate modes has increased. Mid-latitude interaction with the monsoonal flow has increased in recent decades. Azores high, a high-pressure cell over the north Atlantic, modulates the mid-latitude wave pattern over the Eurasian region, consequently affecting Asian jet and Tibetan High. Accordingly, the repositioning of Tibetan High has shifted the ISMR band westward, causing above-normal rainfall in west and central India and below-normal rainfall in east and northeast India. The ISMR has significantly decreased over the Gangetic Plain, adversely affecting this region. This case study for the year 2022 summer monsoon has reflected one of the pieces of evidence of subdued rainfall over Gangetic Plain of India. The situation is unique because normal to above-normal rainfall was observed over the rest of the country. After analyzing various parameters, it is observed that the surface pressure anomaly over north India is against climatology, suggesting a rise in surface pressure and hence, weakening of the monsoon trough over the Gangetic Plain. This weak monsoon trough over the Gangetic Plain has reduced the monsoonal flow towards this region. Also, the strengthened Azore’s High impact through midlatitude waves reinforced the large deficit of ISMR over the Gangetic Plain during 2022.","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"458 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This technique inherits from the piecewise-defined neural network (PDNN) algorithm that is presently employed operationally for the FengYun-3E Vertical Atmospheric Sounding System (VASS). A major difference from the VASS sounding is the absence of microwave observation. Thus, a new cloud-impact classification method independent of microwave radiance is developed. Additionally, the numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecast temperature can be used as the input to help obtain profile information under cloud. Validation results demonstrate that this new methodology yields higher retrieval accuracy compared to the dual-regression (DR) method currently utilized in the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder/FengYun-4B (GIIRS/FY-4B) sounding system. Improvement in retrieval accuracy can be primarily attributed to three factors: (1) the cloud-impact classification process effectively mitigates the nonlinear dependence of spectral radiance on atmospheric variables; (2) the potential influence of spectral and radiometric calibration errors of GIIRS on retrieval is minimized by employing actual GIIRS observations for network training; and (3) the incorporation of prior temperature information from forecast models. This novel approach will be used to produce the operational temperature and humidity profile products from FY4B/GIIRS.","PeriodicalId":51132,"journal":{"name":"Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
