RISThe Response to Orbital Perturbations in an Atmospheric Model Coupled to a Slab Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of an atmospheric GCM coupled to a mixed-layer ocean to changes in orbital parameters is investigated. Three experiments are compared. One has perihelion at summer solstice and a large obliquity; another ...
Sensitivity of the Eddy Momentum Flux to Meridional Resolution in Atmospheric GCMs
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: GCM experiments with zonally symmetric climates are used to demonstrate that the increase in the meridional eddy momentum fluxes and zonal surface winds that occurs when resolution is increased is primarily due to the ...
The Role of the Water Vapor Feedback in the ITCZ Response to Hemispherically Asymmetric Forcings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn comprehensive and idealized general circulation models, hemispherically asymmetric forcings lead to shifts in the latitude of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Prior studies using comprehensive GCMs ...
GFDL’s ESM2 Global Coupled Climate–Carbon Earth System Models. Part I: Physical Formulation and Baseline Simulation Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he physical climate formulation and simulation characteristics of two new global coupled carbon?climate Earth System Models, ESM2M and ESM2G, are described. These models demonstrate similar climate fidelity as the Geophysical ...
