CLIMATE AND THE OCEAN CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A general circulation model of the joint ocean-atmosphere system is constructed by combining an ocean model and an atmospheric model. The quantities exchanged between the oceanic part and the atmospheric part of the joint ...
CLIMATE AND THE OCEAN CIRCULATION
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of the hydrology of the earth's surface is incorporated into a numerical model of the general circulation of the atmosphere developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory of the Environmental Science ...
SIMULATED CLIMATOLOGY OF A GENERAL CIRCULATION MODEL WITH A HYDROLOGIC CYCLE II. ANALYSIS OF THE TROPICAL ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The thermal and dynamical structure of the tropical atmosphere which emerged from the numerical integration of our general circulation model with a simple hydrologic cycle is analyzed in detail. According to the results ...
The Role of Water Vapor Feedback in Unperturbed Climate Variability and Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To understand the role of water vapor feedback in unperturbed surface temperature variability, a version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled ocean?atmosphere model is integrated for 1000 yr in two ...
The Influence of Soil Wetness on Near-Surface Atmospheric Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of land surface processes on near-surface atmospheric variability on seasonal and interannual time scales is studied using output from two integrations of a general circulation model. In the first experiment ...
ON THE RADIATIVE EQUILIBRIUM AND HEAT BALANCE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to incorporate the effect of radiation into the numerical experiment of the general circulation of the atmosphere, a simplified scheme for computing the radiative temperature change is constructed. The effects ...
On the Distribution of Climate Change Resulting from an Increase in CO2 Content of the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study of the climatic effect of doubling or quadrupling of CO2 in the atmosphere has been continued by the use of a simple general circulation model with a limited computational domain, highly idealized geography, no ...
Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Convective Adjustment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The states of thermal equilibrium (incorporating an adjustment of super-adiabatic stratification) as well as that of pure radiative equilibrium of the atmosphere are computed as the asymptotic steady state approached in ...
The Influence of Potential Evaporation on the Variabilities of Simulated Soil Wetness and Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An atmospheric general circulation model with prescribed sea surface temperature and cloudiness was integrated for 50 years in order to study atmosphere-land surface interactions. The temporal variability of model soil ...
