Abstract: he sensitivity of global climate with respect to forcing is generally described in terms of the global climate feedback?the global radiative response per degree of global annual mean surface temperature change. While the ...

Abstract: AbstractRecent studies have shown that the change in poleward energy transport under global warming is well approximated by downgradient transport of near-surface moist static energy (MSE) modulated by the spatial pattern ...

Abstract: Increasing concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere influence climate both through CO2’s role as a greenhouse gas and through its impact on plants. Plants respond to atmospheric CO2 concentrations in several ways that can ...

Abstract: The temporal characteristics of Arctic sea ice extent and area are analyzed in terms of their lagged correlation in observations and a GCM ensemble. Observations and model output generally match, exhibiting a red-noise ...

Abstract: ecent observations of Arctic sea ice show that the decrease in summer ice cover over the last few decades has occurred in conjunction with a significant loss of multiyear ice. The transition to an Arctic that is populated ...
