The Multidecadal Atlantic SST—Sahel Rainfall Teleconnection in CMIP5 Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to evaluate and investigate Sahel rainfall multidecadal variability and teleconnections with global sea surface temperatures (SSTs). ...
Interhemispheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing and Tropical Precipitation Shifts during the Late Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hrough the latter half of the twentieth century, meridional shifts in tropical precipitation have been associated with severe droughts. Although linked to a variety of causes, the origin of these shifts remains elusive. ...
Changes in the Global Sulfate Burden due to Perturbations in Global CO2 Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A large ensemble of general circulation model (GCM) integrations coupled to a fully interactive sulfur cycle scheme were run on the climateprediction.net platform to investigate the uncertainty in the climate response to ...
Selecting Ensemble Members to Provide Regional Climate Change Information
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate model ensembles, such as the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 3 (CMIP3), are used to characterize broadscale ranges of projected regional climate change and their impacts. The 17-member Hadley Centre ...
Reconciling Past and Future Rainfall Trends over East Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he ?long rains? season of East Africa has recently experienced a series of devastating droughts, whereas the majority of climate models predict increasing rainfall for the coming decades. This has been termed the East ...
Narrowing the Range of Future Climate Projections Using Historical Observations of Atmospheric CO2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUncertainty in the behavior of the carbon cycle is important in driving the range in future projected climate change. Previous comparisons of model responses with historical CO2 observations have suggested a strong ...
Sensitivity of Twentieth-Century Sahel Rainfall to Sulfate Aerosol and CO2 Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: full understanding of the causes of the severe drought seen in the Sahel in the latter part of the twentieth-century remains elusive some 25 yr after the height of the event. Previous studies have suggested that this drying ...
