Development of DRAINMOD-based VBA model for evaluating drainage system response
… of a VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) model that incorporates climatological data, crop drainage requirements and drainage theory into a viable design procedure. The design of subsurface drainage systems is affected by climatic variables such as temperature and precipitation. Climatic …

Bias correction of global circulation model outputs using artificial neural networks
Climate studies and effective environmental management plans require unbiased climate datasets. This study develops a new bias correction approach using a three layer feedforward neural network to reduce the biases of climate variables (temperature and precipitation) over northern South America. …

An investigation into the causes for the reduction in the variability of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the early Holocene in a global climate model
… cause for this using output from a Global Climate Model forced by present day and early Holocene boundary conditions, and a simplified model that is known to simulate the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).We devise a scheme to incorporate mean state data, into the background states of a …

Arctic synoptic activity associated with sea ice variability using self-organizing maps
… SOM analysis is used to quantify how the Community Climate System Model, Version 4 (CCSM4) captures synoptic activity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The model undersimulates patterns important for ice loss, such as broad high pressures over the continents and ice cover, and …

Conceptualising and quantifying the nonlinear, chaotic climate: implications for climate model experimental design
Uncertainty in climate system initial conditions (ICs) is known to limit the predictability of future atmospheric states. On weather time scales (i.e. hours to days), the separation between two atmospheric model trajectories, initially "indistinguishable" (compared to unavoidable uncertainties) …

“If it happened in…” a pseudo-global warming assessment of tropical cyclone tornadoes
… is to investigate the impacts of anthropogenic climate change on the production of tornadoes by tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall in the United States Atlantic Basin. Hurricane Ivan (2004), a prolific tropical cyclone tornado (TCT)-producing storm, is the particular case under …
