On the Physics of three Integrated Assessment Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntegrated assessment models (IAMs) are the main tools for combining physical and economic analyses to develop and assess climate change policy. Policy makers have relied heavily on three IAMs in particular?DICE, FUND, and ...
Assessing the Quality of Regional Climate Information
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Analyzing the Climate Sensitivity of the HadSM3 Climate Model Using Ensembles from Different but Related Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global climate models (GCMs) contain imprecisely defined parameters that account, approximately, for subgrid-scale physical processes. The response of a GCM to perturbations in its parameters, which is crucial for quantifying ...
The Development of a Free-Surface Bryan–Cox–Semtner Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A version of the Bryan?Cox?Semtner numerical ocean general circulation model, adapted to include a free surface, is described. The model is designed for the following uses: tidal studies (a tidal option is explicitly ...
Constraining Climate Sensitivity from the Seasonal Cycle in Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The estimated range of climate sensitivity has remained unchanged for decades, resulting in large uncertainties in long-term projections of future climate under increased greenhouse gas concentrations. Here the ...
