A new objective method to determine the height of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is presented here. PBL heights are computed using the statistical variance and kurtosis of dewpoint and virtual potential temperature differences measured from radio soundings at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site. These height...

FAMOUS is an ocean-atmosphere general circulation model of low resolution, based on version 4.5 of the UK MetOffice Unified Model. Here we update the model description to account for changes in the model as it is used in the CMIP5 EMIC model intercomparison project (EMICmip) and a number of other studies. Most of these changes correct errors found in the code. The EMICmip version of the model (...

A new global ocean temperature and salinity climatology is proposed for two time periods: a long mean using multiple sensor data the 1900–2017 period shorter only profiling float 2003–2017 period. We use historical database of World Ocean Database 2018. The estimation approach novel as an additional quality control procedure implemented, along with mapping algorithm based on Data Interpolating ...
