RISConstraining the Sensitivity of Regional Climate with the Use of Historical Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A novel method is presented for calculating how sensitive regional climate is to radiative forcings, based on global surface temperature observations. Forcings that originate in both the region of interest and outside of ...
Interannual Variability of the Antarctic Ozone Hole in a GCM. Part I: The Influence of Tropospheric Wave Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To study the interannual variability of the Antarctic ozone hole, a physically realistic parameterization of the chemistry responsible for severe polar ozone loss has been included in the GISS GCM. The ensuing ozone hole ...
Interannual Variability of the Antarctic Ozone Hole in a GCM. Part II: A Comparison of Unforced and QBO-Induced Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations were performed with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies GCM including a prescribed quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), applied at a constant maximum value, and a physically realistic parameterization of the ...
Climate Change and the Middle Atmosphere. Part IV: Ozone Response to Doubled CO2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parameterized stratospheric ozone photochemistry has been included in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) GCM to investigate the coupling between chemistry and climate change for the doubled CO2 climate. The ...
The Influence of Solar Forcing on Tropical Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of the seasonal tropical circulation to an 11-yr solar cycle forcing is studied with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) ModelE, which includes fully interactive atmospheric chemistry. To identify ...
Volcanic and Solar Forcing of Climate Change during the Preindustrial Era
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climate response to variability in volcanic aerosols and solar irradiance, the primary forcings during the preindustrial era, is examined in a stratosphere-resolving general circulation model. The best agreement with ...
The Relative Importance of Solar and Anthropogenic Forcing of Climate Change between the Maunder Minimum and the Present
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The climate during the Maunder Minimum is compared with current conditions in GCM simulations that include a full stratosphere and parameterized ozone response to solar spectral irradiance variability and trace gas changes. ...
Why Does Aerosol Forcing Control Historical Global-Mean Surface Temperature Change in CMIP5 Models?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: inear regression is used to examine the relationship between simulated changes in historical global-mean surface temperature (GMST) and global-mean aerosol effective radiative forcing (ERF) in 14 climate models from CMIP5. ...
Coupled Aerosol-Chemistry–Climate Twentieth-Century Transient Model Investigation: Trends in Short-Lived Species and Climate Responses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors simulate transient twentieth-century climate in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) GCM, with aerosol and ozone chemistry fully coupled to one another and to climate including a full dynamic ocean. ...
Present-Day Atmospheric Simulations Using GISS ModelE: Comparison to In Situ, Satellite, and Reanalysis Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A full description of the ModelE version of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and results are presented for present-day climate simulations (ca. 1979). This version ...
