RISEstimating the Contribution of Sea Ice Response to Climate Sensitivity in a Climate Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of sea ice to climate change affects Earth?s radiative properties in ways that contribute to yet more climate change. Here, a configuration of the Community Earth System Model, version 1.0.4 (CESM 1.0.4), with ...
Southward Intertropical Convergence Zone Shifts and Implications for an Atmospheric Bipolar Seesaw
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, southward intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) shifts are investigated in three different scenarios: Northern Hemispheric cooling, Southern Hemispheric warming, and a bipolar seesaw-like forcing that combines ...
The Impact of Regional Arctic Sea Ice Loss on Atmospheric Circulation and the NAO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eduction of the Arctic sea ice cover can affect the atmospheric circulation and thus impact the climate beyond the Arctic. The atmospheric response may, however, vary with the geographical location of sea ice loss. The ...
Competing Influences of Anthropogenic Warming, ENSO, and Plant Physiology on Future Terrestrial Aridity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe 2011?16 California drought illustrates that drought-prone areas do not always experience relief once a favorable phase of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) returns. In the twenty-first century, such an ...
Comparing Tropospheric Warming in Climate Models and Satellite Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pdated and improved satellite retrievals of the temperature of the mid-to-upper troposphere (TMT) are used to address key questions about the size and significance of TMT trends, agreement with model-derived TMT values, ...
