On the Potential for Abrupt Arctic Winter Sea Ice Loss
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors examine the transition from a seasonally ice-covered Arctic to an Arctic Ocean that is sea ice free all year round under increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. It is shown that in comprehensive climate models, such ...
Long-Term Climate Commitments Projected with Climate–Carbon Cycle Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) are used to project climate change commitments for the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?s (IPCC?s) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Simulations ...
Determining Robust Impacts of Land-Use-Induced Land Cover Changes on Surface Climate over North America and Eurasia: Results from the First Set of LUCID Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he project Land-Use and Climate, Identification of Robust Impacts (LUCID) was conceived to address the robustness of biogeophysical impacts of historical land use?land cover change (LULCC). LUCID used seven atmosphere?land ...
Effect of Anthropogenic Land-Use and Land-Cover Changes on Climate and Land Carbon Storage in CMIP5 Projections for the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effects of land-use changes on climate are assessed using specified-concentration simulations complementary to the representative concentration pathway 2.6 (RCP2.6) and RCP8.5 scenarios performed for phase 5 of the ...
Climate–Carbon Cycle Feedback Analysis: Results from the C4MIP Model Intercomparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eleven coupled climate?carbon cycle models used a common protocol to study the coupling between climate change and the carbon cycle. The models were forced by historical emissions and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ...
