Last Millennium Climate and Its Variability in CCSM4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n overview of a simulation referred to as the ?Last Millennium? (LM) simulation of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4), is presented. The CCSM4 LM simulation reproduces many large-scale climate patterns ...
The Influence of Local Feedbacks and Northward Heat Transport on the Equilibrium Arctic Climate Response to Increased Greenhouse Gas Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses coupled climate model experiments to identify the influence of atmospheric physics [Community Atmosphere Model, versions 4 and 5 (CAM4; CAM5)] and ocean model complexity (slab ocean, full-depth ocean) on the ...
Impact of Desert Dust Radiative Forcing on Sahel Precipitation: Relative Importance of Dust Compared to Sea Surface Temperature Variations, Vegetation Changes, and Greenhouse Gas Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of direct radiative forcing of desert dust aerosol in the change from wet to dry climate observed in the African Sahel region in the last half of the twentieth century is investigated using simulations with an ...
Climate System Response to External Forcings and Climate Change Projections in CCSM4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esults are presented from experiments performed with the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). These include multiple ensemble members of ...
Making MUSICA: The Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A MUlti-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols - MUSICA
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: MUSICA will become a community infrastructure for simulating atmospheric chemistry. The unification of various spatio-temporal scales, coupling to other Earth System components and process-level modularization will allow ...
