The
US CliVar Hurricane Working Group proposed 4
experiments to study the different effects of warming at the ocean
surface vs warming aloft on tropical cyclone
statistics.
The
four experiments are:
•
1990 Climatological
SST , 330ppm CO2
•
1990 Climatological
SST plus 2o, 330ppm CO2
•
1990 Climatological
SST , 660ppm CO2
•
1990 Climatological
SST plus 2o, 660ppm CO2
Simulations
available here were made at NERSC
using the finite volume version of the Community
Atmospheric model by the DOE CASCADE
SFA project. Simulations were made at resolutions of approximately 0.25o,
1o and 2o. Click here
or above on the data link above for data access. All data is on HPSS
tape, downloads may take a while as the tape is mounted.
Details
of these simulations are described in
