The Role of Northern Sea Ice Cover for the Weakening of the Thermohaline Circulation under Global Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and the resulting global warming are typically associated with a weakening of the thermohaline circulation (THC) in model scenarios. For the models participating in the Coupled ...
Long-Term Climate Commitments Projected with Climate–Carbon Cycle Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) are used to project climate change commitments for the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?s (IPCC?s) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Simulations ...
Investigating the Causes of the Response of the Thermohaline Circulation to Past and Future Climate Changes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is an important part of the earth's climate system. Previous research has shown large uncertainties in simulating future changes in this critical system. The simulated THC response ...
