Atmosphere Response Time Scales Estimated from AOGCM Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he global-mean surface air temperature response of the climate system to a specific radiative forcing shows characteristic time scales. Identifying these time scales and their corresponding amplitudes (climate sensitivity) ...
Transient Climate Response in a Two-Layer Energy-Balance Model. Part I: Analytical Solution and Parameter Calibration Using CMIP5 AOGCM Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his is the first part of a series of two articles analyzing the global thermal properties of atmosphere?ocean coupled general circulation models (AOGCMs) within the framework of a two-layer energy-balance model (EBM). In ...
Transient Climate Response in a Two-Layer Energy-Balance Model. Part II: Representation of the Efficacy of Deep-Ocean Heat Uptake and Validation for CMIP5 AOGCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this second part of a series of two articles analyzing the global thermal properties of atmosphere?ocean coupled general circulation models (AOGCMs) within the framework of a two-layer energy-balance model (EBM), the ...
The Southern Hemisphere Midlatitude Circulation Response to Rapid Adjustments and Sea Surface Temperature Driven Feedbacks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rapid adjustments—the response of meteorology to external forcing while sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice are held fixed—can affect the midlatitude circulation and contribute to long-term forced circulation responses ...
PDRMIP: A Precipitation Driver and Response Model Intercomparison Project, Protocol and preliminary results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s the global temperature increases with changing climate, precipitation rates and patterns are affected through a wide range of physical mechanisms. The globally averaged intensity of extreme precipitation also changes ...
A PDRMIP Multimodel Study on the Impacts of Regional Aerosol Forcings on Global and Regional Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractAtmospheric aerosols such as sulfate and black carbon (BC) generate inhomogeneous radiative forcing and can affect precipitation in distinct ways compared to greenhouse gases (GHGs). Their regional effects on the ...
