This study examines cloud radiative forcing (CRF) in the Asian monsoon region
(0o--50oN,60o--150oE) simulated by Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) AMIP models. During boreal winter,
no model realistically reproduces the larger long-wave cloud radiative forcing (LWCF) over
the Tibet Plateau (TP) and only a couple of models reasonably capture the larger short-wave
CRF (SWCF) to the east of the TP. During boreal summer, there are larger biases for central
location and intensity of simulated CRF in active convective regions. The CRF biases are closely
related to the rainfall biases in the models. Quantitative analysis further indicates that the
correlation between simulated CRF and observations are not high, and that the biases and diversity
in SWCF are larger than that in LWCF. The annual cycle of simulated CRF over East Asia (0o--50oN,
100o--145oE) is also examined. Though many models capture the basic annual cycle in
tropics, strong LWCF and SWCF to the east of the TP beginning in early spring are underestimated
by most models. As a whole, GFDL-CM2.1, MPI-ECHAM5, UKMO-HadGAM1, and MIROC3.2 (medres) perform
well for CRF simulation in the Asian monsoon region, and the multi-model ensemble (MME) has improved
results over the individual simulations. It is suggested that strengthening the physical
parameterizations involved over the TP, and improving cumulus convection processes and model
experiment design are crucial to CRF simulation in the Asian monsoon region. 相似文献

Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) plays a unique and fundamental role in the maintenance of the global (terrestrial
and celestial) reference frames, which are required for precise positioning in many research areas such as the understanding
and monitoring of global changes, and for space missions. The International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS)
coordinates the global VLBI components and resources on an international basis. The service is tasked by the International
Association of Geodesy (IAG) and International Astronomical Union (IAU) to provide products for the realization of the Celestial
Reference Frame (CRF) through the positions of quasars, to deliver products for the maintenance of the terrestrial reference
frame (TRF), such as station positions and their changes with time, and to generate products describing the rotation and orientation
of the Earth. In particular, VLBI uniquely provides direct observations of nutation parameters and of the time difference
UT1-UTC. This paper summarizes the evolution and current status of the IVS. It points out the activities to improve further
on the product quality to meet future service requirements. 相似文献

下载免费PDF全文 Based on data collected during the first U.S.Department of Energy(DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement(ARM) field campaigns at Shouxian,eastern China in 2008,the effects of clouds and aerosols on the surface radiation budget during the period October-December 2008 were studied.The results revealed that the largest longwave(LW),shortwave(SW),and net Aerosol Radiative Effects(AREs) are 12.7,-37.6,and-24.9 W m-2,indicating that aerosols have LW warming impact,a strong SW cooling effect,and a net cooling effect on the surface radiation budget at Shouxian during the study period 15 October-15 December 2008.The SW cloud radiative forcing(CRF) is-135.1 W m-2,much cooler than ARE(about 3.6 times),however,the LW CRF is 43.6 W m-2,much warmer than ARE,and resulting in a net CRF of-91.5 W m-2,about 3.7 times of net ARE.These results suggest that the clouds have much stronger LW warming effect and SW cooling effect on the surface radiation budget than AREs.The net surface radiation budget is dominated by SW cooling effect for both ARE and CRF.Furthermore,the precipitatable clouds(PCs) have the largest SW cooling effect and LW warming effect,while optically thin high clouds have the smallest cooling effect and LW warming on the surface radiation budget.Comparing the two selected caseds,CloudSat cloud radar reflectivity agrees very well with the AMF(ARM Mobile Facility) WACR(W-band ARM Cloud Radar) measurements,particularly for cirrus cloud case.These result will provide a ground truth to validate the model simulations in the future. 相似文献

This paper evaluates the effect of the accuracy of reference radio sources on the daily estimates of station positions, nutation
angle offsets, and the estimated site coordinates determined by very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), which are used for
the realization of the international terrestrial reference frame (ITRF). Five global VLBI solutions, based on VLBI data collected
between 1979 and 2006, are compared. The reference solution comprises all observed radio sources, which are treated as global
parameters. Four other solutions, comprising different sub-sets of radio sources, were computed. The daily station positions
for all VLBI sites and the corrections to the nutation offset angles were estimated for these five solutions. The solution
statistics are mainly affected by the positional instabilities of reference radio sources, whereas the instabilities of geodetic
and astrometric time-series are caused by an insufficient number of observed reference radio sources. A mean offset of the
three positional components (Up, North, East) between any two solutions was calculated for each VLBI site. From a comparison
of the geodetic results, no significant discrepancies between the respective geodetic solutions for all VLBI sites in the
Northern Hemisphere were found. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere sites were more sensitive to the selected set of reference
radio sources. The largest estimated mean offset of the vertical component between two solutions for the Australian VLBI site
at Hobart was 4 mm. In the worst case (if a weak VLBI network observed a limited number of reference radio sources) the daily
offsets of the estimated height component at Hobart exceeded 100 mm. The exclusion of the extended radio sources from the
list of reference sources improved the solution statistics and made the geodetic and astrometric time-series more consistent.
The problem with the large Hobart height component offset is magnified by a comparatively small number of observations due
to the low slewing rate of the VLBI dish (1°/ s). Unless a minimum of 200 scans are performed per 24-h VLBI experiment, the
daily vertical positions at Hobart do not achieve 10 mm accuracy. Improving the slew rate at Hobart and/or having an increased
number of new sites in the Southern Hemisphere is essential for further improvement of geodetic VLBI results for Southern
Hemisphere sites. 相似文献
