Surface-Atmosphere Interactions RACM Project Update on ISU Component: Surface-Atmosphere Interactions 5th DOE/RACM Meeting: Santa Cruz, CA
Overview Production runs by Pan-Arctic WRF using full RACM domain - started Comparison with observed atmosphere Experiment design for Behavior of mean & extremes as sea ice wanes Sensitivity to modeling ice/ocean fractions 5th DOE/RACM Meeting: Santa Cruz, CA
Overview Perspective: How is region’s hydrometeorology changing as ice (or ice modeling) changes? Potential impacts on land-atmosphere hydrological coupling (storm tracks, mean precipitation, intense precipitation, drought…) Setting the stage for understanding comparable behavior in fully coupled RACM 5th DOE/RACM Meeting: Santa Cruz, CA
