A GCM Study of Volcanic Eruptions as a Cause of Increased Stratospheric Water Vapor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent general circulation model (GCM) experiments have shown that idealized climatic perturbations that increase the temperature of the tropical tropopause region can cause larger than expected surface temperature increases. ...
The Extratropical Linear Step Response to Tropical Precipitation Anomalies and Its Use in Constraining Projected Circulation Changes under Climate Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rossby wave trains triggered by tropical convection strongly affect the atmospheric circulation in the extratropics. Using daily gridded observational and reanalysis data, we demonstrate that a technique based on linear ...
The Relationship between Land–Ocean Surface Temperature Contrast and Radiative Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: revious work has demonstrated that observed and modeled climates show a near-time-invariant ratio of mean land to mean ocean surface temperature change under transient and equilibrium global warming. This study confirms ...
The Circulation Response to Idealized Changes in Stratospheric Water Vapor
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations show that stratospheric water vapor (SWV) concentrations increased by ~30% between 1980 and 2000. SWV has also been projected to increase by up to a factor of 2 over the twenty-first century. Trends in SWV ...
