Observations of precipitable water vapour over complex topography of Ethiopia from ground-based GPS, FTIR, radiosonde and ERA-Interim reanalysis
Water vapour is one of the most important greenhouse gases. Long-term changes in the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere need to be monitored not only for its direct role as a greenhouse gas but also because of its role in amplifying other feedbacks such as clouds and albedo. In recent decades, monitoring of water vapour on a regular and continuous basis has become possible as a result of ...
متن کاملDownscaling reanalysis over continental Africa with a regional model: NCEP versus ERA Interim forcing
Five annual climate cycles (1998-2002) are simulated for continental Africa and adjacent oceans by a regional atmospheric model (RM3). RM3 horizontal grid spacing is 0.44° at 28 vertical levels . Each of 2 simulation ensembles is driven by lateral boundary conditions from each of 2 alternative reanalysis data sets. One simulation downs cales National Center for Environmental Prediction reanalys...
متن کاملERA-Interim/Land: a global land surface reanalysis data set
ERA-Interim/Land is a global land surface reanalysis data set covering the period 1979–2010. It describes the evolution of soil moisture, soil temperature and snowpack. ERA-Interim/Land is the result of a single 32-year simulation with the latest ECMWF (European Centre for MediumRange Weather Forecasts) land surface model driven by meteorological forcing from the ERA-Interim atmospheric reanaly...
متن کاملReply or Interannual Southern Hemispheric Atmospheric Variability in the NCEP reanalysis between 1980 and 2002
Climate Variability in the Southern Hemisphere is receiving increasing attention due to both the large greenhouse gas forced response that many climate model exhibit in polar regional impacts of the SAM in a coarse resolution coupled climate model. The overwhelming dominance of this mode in the model's oceanic, sea ice and atmospheric interannual to decadal variability led us to the hypothesis ...
متن کاملWave energy resource of Brazil: An analysis from 35 years of ERA-Interim reanalysis data
This paper presents a characterization of the wave power resource and an analysis of the wave power output for three (AquaBuoy, Pelamis and Wave Dragon) different wave energy converters (WEC) over the Brazilian offshore. To do so it used a 35 years reanalysis database from the ERA-Interim project. Annual and seasonal statistical analyzes of significant height and energy period were performed, a...
