Ocean Water Clarity and the Ocean General Circulation in a Coupled Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean water clarity affects the distribution of shortwave heating in the water column. In a one-dimensional time-mean sense, increased clarity would be expected to cool the surface and heat subsurface depths as shortwave ...
Mechanisms of Southern Ocean Heat Uptake and Transport in a Global Eddying Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Southern Ocean plays a dominant role in anthropogenic oceanic heat uptake. Strong northward transport of the heat content anomaly limits warming of the sea surface temperature in the uptake region and allows the heat ...
Tropical Cyclone Simulation and Response to CO2 Doubling in the GFDL CM2.5 High-Resolution Coupled Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lobal tropical cyclone (TC) activity is simulated by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) Climate Model, version 2.5 (CM2.5), which is a fully coupled global climate model with a horizontal resolution of about ...
Role of Mesoscale Eddies in Cross-Frontal Transport of Heat and Biogeochemical Tracers in the Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the role of processes transporting tracers across the Polar Front (PF) in the depth interval between the surface and major topographic sills, which this study refers to as the ?PF core.? A preindustrial ...
Improved Seasonal Prediction of Temperature and Precipitation over Land in a High-Resolution GFDL Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study demonstrates skillful seasonal prediction of 2-m air temperature and precipitation over land in a new high-resolution climate model developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and explores the possible ...
Impacts on Ocean Heat from Transient Mesoscale Eddies in a Hierarchy of Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors characterize impacts on heat in the ocean climate system from transient ocean mesoscale eddies. Their tool is a suite of centennial-scale 1990 radiatively forced numerical climate simulations from three GFDL ...
Simulation and Prediction of Category 4 and 5 Hurricanes in the High-Resolution GFDL HiFLOR Coupled Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: new high-resolution Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) coupled model [the High-Resolution Forecast-Oriented Low Ocean Resolution (FLOR) model (HiFLOR)] has been developed and used to investigate potential skill ...
