Abstract: An objective approach to breaks in the weather is presented. A simple mathematical procedure is described that makes it possible to detect changes in a time series. The method is based on a comparison of a typical change, ...

Abstract: Preliminary results are described from a glaciometeorological experiment carried out in the margin (melting zone) of the Greenland ice sheet in the summers of 1990 and 1991. This work was initiated within the framework of ...

Abstract: A process-oriented modeling approach is applied in order to simulate glacier mass balance for individual glaciers using statistically downscaled general circulation models (GCMs). Glacier-specific seasonal sensitivity ...

Abstract: Glacier fluctuations exclusively due to internal variations in the climate system are simulated using downscaled integrations of the ECHAM4/OPYC coupled general circulation model (GCM). A process-based modeling approach ...

Abstract: A zonally averaged Climate model of the energy-balance type is examined. Recently published satellite measurements were used to improve existing parameterizations of planetary albedo and outgoing radiation in term of surface ...

Abstract: Monthly forecasts of temperature, rainfall and sunshine have been verified during the period 1970?79. The predictions were based on seven different schemes. Of the seven methods, five refer to De Bilt (The Netherlands), ...

Abstract: Estimates of sea level rise during the period 1856?1991 due to thermal expansion are presented. The estimates are based on an ocean model that consists of three zonally averaged ocean basins representing the Atlantic, ...

Abstract: onfidence in projections of global-mean sea level rise (GMSLR) depends on an ability to account for GMSLR during the twentieth century. There are contributions from ocean thermal expansion, mass loss from glaciers and ice ...
