Abstract: his article introduces a new decomposition of climate feedback mechanisms based on their characteristic times. As the last of a series of three, it complements the first two parts by Lahellec and Dufresne to give a ...

Abstract: limate sensitivity and feedback are key concepts if the complex behavior of climate response to perturbation is to be interpreted in a simple way. They have also become an essential tool for comparing global circulation ...

Abstract: limate analysis is greatly simplified in perturbation analysis when filtered anomalies show linear behavior. In the first part (part I) of this two-part analysis, the formal tangent linear system (TLS) that handles linear ...

Abstract: The concept of feedback has been used by several authors in the field of climate science to describe the behavior of models and to assess the importance of the different mechanisms at stake. Here, a simple 1D model of ...

Abstract: An atmospheric convective system may be modeled as an ensemble of discrete plume elements. A representation of decomposited plumes provides the basis for mass-flux convective parameterization. A dry version of such a ...
