Filtering of Milankovitch Cycles by the Thermohaline Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A low-order, basin-averaged, coupled atmosphere?ocean paleoclimate model is developed and the results from a 3.2-Myr model paleointegration described. A three-basin version of the Wright?Stocker ocean model is used to ...
Probability of Future Climatically Significant Volcanic Eruptions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of climate model predictions indicate that the global average temperature should rise another 0.1°?0.3°C in the next 10?15 yr, thereby rising above the noise level of natural variability. However, volcanic eruptions ...
Comparison of GCM and Energy Balance Model Simulations of Seasonal Temperature Changes over the Past 18 000 Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Sensitivity of a linear two dimensional Energy Balance Model (EBM) to altered surface albedo and insolation over the last 18 000 years is compared to simulators made with the NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM). The ...
Detection of Human Influence on a New, Validated 1500-Year Temperature Reconstruction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate records over the last millennium place the twentieth-century warming in a longer historical context. Reconstructions of millennial temperatures show a wide range of variability, raising questions about the reliability ...
