Understanding and Prediction of Monsoon Weather and Climate - abstracts of the sixth CAWCR Workshop
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides a brief summary of some of the recent research completed using radar observations of convective cloud systems associated with the North-Australian monsoon. The key focus is to describe the variability of convective cloud system properties as a function of the large scale regimes characterizing the region. This latter work is linked with the evaluation of the ACCESS model and the development of new convective parameterisation.

متن کاملA synoptic-climatology approach to increase the skill of numerical weather predictions over Iran
Simplifications used in regional climate models decrease the accuracy of the regional climate models. To overcome this deficiency, usually a statistical technique of MOS is used to improve the skill of gridded outputs of the Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. In this paper, an experimental synoptic-climatology based method has been used to calibrate, and decrease amount of errors in GFS...
