Motivation 1: Global Warming From NASA RESEARCH NEWS (2006), group led by James Hansen, GISS, NYC Earth has warmed approximately 0.2 K/decade for past 30 years, with max warming after Land temps has warmed faster than SSTs

Motivation 2: Interaction of coastal climate influences Global Global –Sea surface temps (SSTs) –ocean currents –GC pressure systems Mesoscale Mesoscale –sea/land breezes –mt/valley breezes –ocean upwelling –Land-use &/or Land-cover (LULC) changes –Urban heat islands (UHIs)

The (LCLU + GW) Question on Urban Coastal Areas 1.What is the relative climatic impacts of global climate change in urban coastal regions? 2.Under these conditions of LCLU and global climate change, what are the combined effects in sea breezes, surface temperatures, precipitation, and extreme events?

a. GHG WARMING/LULC and/or and/or b. INCREASED INLAND WARMING  INCREASED HORIZONTAL T- & p-GRADIENTS (COAST TO INLAND)  (COAST TO INLAND)  INCREASED SEA BREEZE: FREQ, INTENSITY, PENETRATION, &/OR DURATION  PENETRATION, &/OR DURATION  COASTAL REGIONS DOMINATED BY SEA BREEZE SHOULD THUS COOL DURING SUMMER DAYTIME PERIODS Current Hypothesis: Observed Calif temp trends resulted from

SUMMARY 1: OF OBS STUDY SUMMER DAYTIME MAX-TEMPS HAVE SUMMER DAYTIME MAX-TEMPS HAVE –COOLED IN LOW-ELEVATION COASTAL AREAS –WARMED IN INLAND AREAS PREVIOUS STUDIES DREW WRONG CONCLUSIONS B/C PREVIOUS STUDIES DREW WRONG CONCLUSIONS B/C – They did not separate summer vs. winter, day vs. night, &/or inland vs. coastal – Therefore, their T max were wrong and thus their T ave & DTRs were contaminated

For sfc BC for T(t): RAMS uses LEAF-3 “big leaf” model to solve sfc energy balance at each sfc-type, e.g., for all-urban (no veg or evaporation) sfc Terms on RHS of eq (L to R): ↓ solar rad absorbed at sfc ↓ IR rad from atm absorbed at sfc ↑ IR rad from sfc ↑ IR rad from urban sfc Note: rad terms come from complex rad transfer model convective heat to atm [where ( ) * quantities come from SBL-eq ] ground heat to atm (where ө s comes prog soil temp eq) anthro heat to atm.
