Variability in simulated recharge using different GCMs

El-Nino Southern Oscillation simulated and predicted in SNU coupled GCMs

The characteristics of the El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) simulated in free integrations using two versions of the Seoul National University (SNU) ocean–atmosphere coupled global climate model (CGCM) are examined. A revised version of the SNU CGCM is developed by incorporating a reduced air–sea coupling interval (from 1 day to 2 h), a parameterization for cumulus momentum transport, a mini...

Uncertainties in the simulation of groundwater recharge at different scales

Digital spatial data always imply some kind of uncertainty. The source of this uncertainty can be found in their compilation as well as the conceptual design that causes a more or less exact abstraction of the real world, depending on the scale under consideration. Within the framework of hydrological modelling, in which numerous data sets from diverse sources of uneven quality are combined, th...

The Statistics and Structure of Subseasonal Midlatitude Variability in NASA/GSFC GCMs

Intercomparison of the climatological variations of Asian summer monsoon precipitation simulated by 10 GCMs

We assesses the overall performance of stateof-the-art atmospheric GCMs in simulating the climatological variations of summer monsoon rainfall over the Asian-Western Pacific region and the systematic errors that are common to a group of GCMs. The GCM data utilized are obtained from 10 GCM groups participated in the CLIVAR/Monsoon GCM Intercomparison Project. The model composite shows that the o...
