Estimating the Permafrost-Carbon Climate Response in the CMIP5 Climate Models Using a Simplified Approach
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nder climate change, thawing permafrost may cause a release of carbon, which has a positive feedback on the climate. The permafrost-carbon climate response (?PF) is the additional permafrost-carbon made vulnerable to ...
Analysis of Permafrost Thermal Dynamics and Response to Climate Change in the CMIP5 Earth System Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors analyze global climate model predictions of soil temperature [from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) database] to assess the models? representation of current-climate soil thermal dynamics ...
Effects of Soil Moisture on the Responses of Soil Temperatures to Climate Change in Cold Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t high latitudes, changes in soil moisture could alter soil temperatures independently of air temperature changes by interacting with the snow thermal rectifier. The authors investigated this mechanism with model experiments ...
The Rainfall Sensitivity of Tropical Net Primary Production in CMIP5 Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, the authors used the relationship between mean annual rainfall (MAR) and net primary production (NPP) (MAR?NPP) observed in tropical forests to evaluate the performance (twentieth century) and predictions ...
Reconciling Precipitation with Runoff: Observed Hydrological Change in the Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: entury-long observed gridded land precipitation datasets are a cornerstone of hydrometeorological research. But recent work has suggested that observed Northern Hemisphere midlatitude (NHML) land mean precipitation does ...
