    Evaluating Surface Variables Simulated by the North American RegionalClimate Change Assessment Program over the Great Lakes Region
    Author(s): Lingli HeLingli He

    The Great Lakes Region as important resources for water usages plays an important role in the U.S. economy. As the area might be susceptible to global warming, well-informed decisions in response to the possible global warming effects depend on accurate regional assessments by climate models such as Regional Climate Models (RCMs). Four historical RCM runs from the North American Regional Climate Change Assessment Program (NARCCAP) were chosen to study the reliability of simulated land surface variables such as latent heat, sensible heat, surface air temperature, soil moisture, and runoff. The Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) was used as a truth dataset to evaluate the biases of the RCM results. The comparisons of the monthly climatology of the energy components and water budget components simulated by the RCMs and GLDAS showed that, latent heat and skin air temperature by RCM.. View More»
