Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, an Arctic Single-Column Model (ARCSCM) of Colorado University is used to simulate the Arctic surface radiation and energy budget during the summertime. The simulation results are analyzed and compared with the SHEBA measurements. Sensitivity analyses are performed to test microphysical and radiative parameterizations in this model. The results show that ARCSCM model is able to simulate the surface radiation and energy budget in Arctic during the summertime, and the different parameterizations have a significant influence to the results.

Key words: sea-air interface, ARCSCM, sensitivity analysis, Arctic
