CAUSES : on the role of surface energy budget errors to the warm surface air temperature error over the Central United States Universiteit Gent
Many weather forecast and climate models simulate warm surface air temperature (T-2m) biases over midlatitude continents during the summertime, especially over the Great Plains. We present here one of a series of papers from a multimodel intercomparison project (CAUSES: Cloud Above the United States and Errors at the Surface), which aims to evaluate the role of cloud, radiation, and precipitation biases in contributing to the T-2m bias using a ...
