Precessional Cycles and Their Influence on the North Pacific and North Atlantic Summer Anticyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the Northern Hemisphere summer anticyclones to a change in the timing of perihelion is investigated using the GFDL Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1). The orbital forcing consists of changes in the seasonal ...
Mechanisms of Mid-Holocene Precipitation Change in the South Pacific Convergence Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variability of the South Pacific convergence zone (SPCZ) during the mid-Holocene is investigated using models archived in the Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Phase II (PMIP2) database. Relative to ...
Climate Feedbacks in Response to Changes in Obliquity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he feedbacks involved in the response of climate to a reduction of Earth?s obliquity are investigated in the GFDL Climate Model version 2.1 (CM2.1). A reduction in obliquity increases the meridional gradient of the annual ...
The Response of Large-Scale Circulation to Obliquity-Induced Changes in Meridional Heating Gradients
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he inter- and intrahemispheric climate responses to a change in obliquity are investigated using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model, version 2.1. (GFDL CM2.1). Reduced obliquity causes a weakening of ...
