The Hadley and Walker Circulation Changes in Global Warming Conditions Described by Idealized Atmospheric Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface temperature (SST) changes constitute a major indicator and driver of climate changes induced by greenhouse gas increases. The objective of the present study is to investigate the role played by the detailed ...
Some Atmospheric Processes Governing the Large-Scale Tropical Circulation in Idealized Aquaplanet Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large-scale tropical atmospheric circulation is analyzed in idealized aquaplanet simulations using an atmospheric general circulation model. Idealized sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are used as lower-boundary conditions ...
Sulfate Aerosol Indirect Effect and CO2 Greenhouse Forcing: EquilibriumResponse of the LMD GCM and Associated Cloud Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climate sensitivity to various forcings, and in particular to changes in CO2 and sulfate aerosol concentrations, imposed separately or in a combined manner, is studied with an atmospheric general circulation model ...
Atmospheric Circulations Induced by a Midlatitude SST Front: A GCM Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he atmospheric effects of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over and near western boundary currents are a matter of renewed interest. The general circulation model (GCM) of the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique ...
Deep Convection East of the Andes Cordillera: A Test Case Analysis of Airmass Origin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Warm and moist air masses, required to generate deep convection east of the Andes Cordillera, are generally the result of humidity transport by the so-called low-level jet (LLJ). In this paper, it is shown from detailed ...
An Earth-System Prediction Initiative for the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: sity and benefits for establishing the international Earth-system Prediction Initiative (EPI) are discussed by scientists associated with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP), ...
