Abstract: nder global warming, increases in precipitation are expected at high latitudes and near major tropical convergence zones in some seasons, while decreases are expected in many subtropical and midlatitude areas in between. ...

Abstract: The extent to which the climate will change due to an external forcing depends largely on radiative feedbacks, which act to amplify or damp the surface temperature response. There are a variety of issues that complicate ...

Abstract: Understanding how the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) may change in the future requires the use of global coupled atmosphere?ocean models. It is therefore important to evaluate the ability of such models to realistically ...

Abstract: Processes in the climate system that can either amplify or dampen the climate response to an external perturbation are referred to as climate feedbacks. Climate sensitivity estimates depend critically on radiative feedbacks ...
