On the Accuracy of Deriving Climate Feedback Parameters from Correlations between Surface Temperature and Outgoing Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Changes in outgoing radiation are both a consequence and a cause of changes in the earth?s temperature. Spencer and Braswell recently showed that in a simple box model for the earth the regression of outgoing radiation ...
The Southern Hemisphere Midlatitude Circulation Response to Rapid Adjustments and Sea Surface Temperature Driven Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapid adjustments—the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed—can affect the midlatitude circulation and contribute to long-term forced circulation responses ...
A Strategy for Process-Oriented Validation of Coupled Chemistry–Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate and reliable predictions and an understanding of future changes in the stratosphere are major aspects of the subject of climate change. Simulating the interaction between chemistry and climate is of particular ...
PDRMIP: A Precipitation Driver and Response Model Intercomparison Project, Protocol and preliminary results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s the global temperature increases with changing climate, precipitation rates and patterns are affected through a wide range of physical mechanisms. The globally averaged intensity of extreme precipitation also changes ...
A PDRMIP Multimodel Study on the Impacts of Regional Aerosol Forcings on Global and Regional Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric aerosols such as sulfate and black carbon (BC) generate inhomogeneous radiative forcing and can affect precipitation in distinct ways compared to greenhouse gases (GHGs). Their regional effects on the ...
