RISAssessment of Twentieth-Century Regional Surface Temperature Trends Using the GFDL CM2 Coupled Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Historical climate simulations of the period 1861?2000 using two new Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) global climate models (CM2.0 and CM2.1) are compared with observed surface temperatures. All-forcing runs ...
Predicting a Decadal Shift in North Atlantic Climate Variability Using the GFDL Forecast System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ecadal prediction experiments were conducted as part of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using the GFDL Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1) forecast system. The abrupt warming of the North Atlantic ...
GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part IV: Idealized Climate Response
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climate response to idealized changes in the atmospheric CO2 concentration by the new GFDL climate model (CM2) is documented. This new model is very different from earlier GFDL models in its parameterizations of ...
On the Seasonal Forecasting of Regional Tropical Cyclone Activity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclones (TCs) are a hazard to life and property and a prominent element of the global climate system; therefore, understanding and predicting TC location, intensity, and frequency is of both societal and scientific ...
Investigating the Causes of the Response of the Thermohaline Circulation to Past and Future Climate Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is an important part of the earth's climate system. Previous research has shown large uncertainties in simulating future changes in this critical system. The simulated THC response ...
