The Contribution of Radiative Feedbacks to Orbitally Driven Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adiative feedbacks influence Earth's climate response to orbital forcing, amplifying some aspects of the response while damping others. To better understand this relationship, the GFDL Climate Model, version 2.1 (CM2.1), ...
Using Single-Forcing GCM Simulations to Reconstruct and Interpret Quaternary Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he long-term climate variations of the Quaternary were primarily influenced by concurrent changes in Earth?s orbit, greenhouse gases, and ice sheets. However, because climate changes over the coming century will largely ...
Precessional Cycles and Their Influence on the North Pacific and North Atlantic Summer Anticyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the Northern Hemisphere summer anticyclones to a change in the timing of perihelion is investigated using the GFDL Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1). The orbital forcing consists of changes in the seasonal ...
Climate Feedbacks in Response to Changes in Obliquity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he feedbacks involved in the response of climate to a reduction of Earth?s obliquity are investigated in the GFDL Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1). A reduction in obliquity increases the meridional gradient of the annual ...
The Response of Large-Scale Circulation to Obliquity-Induced Changes in Meridional Heating Gradients
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he inter- and intrahemispheric climate responses to a change in obliquity are investigated using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model, version 2.1. (GFDL CM2.1). Reduced obliquity causes a weakening of ...
Response of the Equatorial Pacific Seasonal Cycle to Orbital Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the equatorial Pacific Ocean?s seasonal cycle to orbital forcing is explored using idealized simulations with a coupled atmosphere?ocean GCM in which eccentricity, obliquity, and the longitude of perihelion ...
