Abstract: Climate change resulting from the enhanced greenhouse effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations is expected to bring about global and local changes in sea level. A global rise in sea level would result from thermal ...

Abstract: Warmer climate conditions persisting for a period of many centuries could lead to the disappearance of the Greenland ice sheet, with a related 7-m rise in sea level. The question is addressed of whether the ice sheet could ...

Abstract: Effective climate sensitivity is often assumed to be constant (if uncertain), but some previous studies of general circulation model (GCM) simulations have found it varying as the simulation progresses. This complicates ...

Abstract: Perturbations to the carbon cycle could constitute large feedbacks on future changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration and climate. This paper demonstrates how carbon cycle feedback can be expressed in formally similar ways ...

Abstract: uring the last century, global climate has been warming, and projections indicate that such a warming is likely to continue over coming decades. Most of the extra heat is stored in the ocean, resulting in thermal expansion ...

Abstract: A time-dependent climate-change experiment with a coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model has been used to study changes in the occurrence of drought in summer in southern Europe and central North America. In ...

Abstract: Simulations of the last 500 yr carried out using the Third Hadley Centre Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere GCM (HadCM3) with anthropogenic and natural (solar and volcanic) forcings have been analyzed. Global-mean surface temperature ...
