Northern Hemispheric Trends of Pressure Indices and Atmospheric Circulation Patterns in Observations, Reconstructions, and Coupled GCM Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The decadal trend behavior of the Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation is investigated utilizing long-term simulations with different state-of-the-art coupled general circulation models (GCMs) for present-day climate ...
Water Mass Distribution and Ventilation Time Scales in a Cost-Efficient, Three-Dimensional Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cost-efficient, seasonally forced three-dimensional frictional geostrophic balance ocean model (Bern3D) has been developed that features isopycnal diffusion and Gent?McWilliams transport parameterization, 32 depth layers, ...
A Review of Uncertainties in Global Temperature Projections over the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Quantification of the uncertainties in future climate projections is crucial for the implementation of climate policies. Here a review of projections of global temperature change over the twenty-first century is provided ...
The Influence of a Weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation on ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influences of a substantial weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) on the tropical Pacific climate mean state, the annual cycle, and ENSO variability are studied using five different coupled ...
Long-Term Climate Commitments Projected with Climate–Carbon Cycle Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eight earth system models of intermediate complexity (EMICs) are used to project climate change commitments for the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change?s (IPCC?s) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Simulations ...
