In this work, we integrated the WAVEWATCH III model into the regional coupled model SKRIPS (Scripps-KAUST Regional Integrated Prediction System). The WAVEWATCH III model is …
Waves generated by tropical cyclones can have devastating effects on coastal regions. However, the role of ocean currents in modifying wave amplitudes, wavelengths, and …
Projections of future climate are sensitive to the representation of upper-ocean diurnal variability, including the diurnal cycle of winds. Two different methods suitable for …
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) play a key role in California's water supply and are responsible for most of the extreme precipitation and major flooding along the west coast of North …
Landfalling atmospheric rivers (ARs) over the western US are responsible for similar to 30%-50 % of the annual precipitation, and their accurate forecasts are essential for …
A new regional coupled ocean-atmosphere model is developed and its implementation is presented in this paper. The coupled model is based on two open-source community model …
Subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts have the potential to provide advance information about weather and climate events. The high heat capacity of water means that the …
Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum, energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice. …
A new hybrid ensemble Kalman filter/four-dimensional variational data assimilation (EnKF/4D-VAR) approach is introduced to mitigate background covariance limitations in the EnKF. …
A new approach is proposed to address the background covariance limitations arising from undersampled ensembles and unaccounted model errors in the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). …
