Does Model Sensitivity to Changes in CO2 Provide a Measure of Sensitivity to Other Forcings?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulation of both the climate of the twentieth century and a future climate change requires taking into account numerous forcings, while climate sensitivities of general circulation models are defined as the equilibrium ...
Changing the Climate Sensitivity of an Atmospheric General Circulation Model through Cloud Radiative Adjustment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: onducting probabilistic climate projections with a particular climate model requires the ability to vary the model?s characteristics, such as its climate sensitivity. In this study, the authors implement and validate a ...
Comparing Oceanic Heat Uptake in AOGCM Transient Climate Change Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transient response of both surface air temperature and deep ocean temperature to an increasing external forcing strongly depends on climate sensitivity and the rate of the heat mixing into the deep ocean, estimates for ...
Comparing Oceanic Heat Uptake in AOGCM Transient Climate Change Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transient response of both surface air temperature and deep ocean temperature to an increasing external forcing strongly depends on climate sensitivity and the rate of the heat mixing into the deep ocean, estimates for ...
Sensitivity of the Ocean’s Climate to Diapycnal Diffusivity in an EMIC. Part II: Global Warming Scenario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of the ocean?s climate to the diapycnal diffusivity in the ocean is studied for a global warming scenario in which CO2 increases by 1% yr?1 for 75 yr. The thermohaline circulation slows down for about 100 ...
Ocean Heat Uptake in Transient Climate Change: Mechanisms and Uncertainty due to Subgrid-Scale Eddy Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ocean heat uptake (OHU) is studied using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with idealized ocean geometry. The OGCM is coupled with a statistical?dynamic atmospheric ...
The Deep-Ocean Heat Uptake in Transient Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep-ocean heat uptake (DOHU) in transient climate changes is studied using an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) and its adjoint. The model configuration consists of idealized Pacific and Atlantic basins. The model ...
The Deep-Ocean Heat Uptake in Transient Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep-ocean heat uptake (DOHU) in transient climate changes is studied using an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) and its adjoint. The model configuration consists of idealized Pacific and Atlantic basins. The model ...
Consequences of Considering Carbon–Nitrogen Interactions on the Feedbacks between Climate and the Terrestrial Carbon Cycle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of carbon?nitrogen dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems on the interaction between the carbon cycle and climate is studied using an earth system model of intermediate complexity, the MIT Integrated Global Systems ...
