RISTime Scales of Climate Response
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) is integrated to a near-equilibrium state with the normal, half-normal, and twice-normal amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Most of the ocean below the ...
Multiple-Century Response of a Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Model to an Increase of Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To speculate on the future change of climate over several centuries, three 500-year integrations of a coupled ocean-atmosphere model were performed. In addition to the standard integration in which the atmospheric concentration ...
Low-Frequency Variability of Surface Air Temperature in a 1000-Year Integration of a Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean-Land Surface Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study analyzes the variability of surface air temperature (SAT) and sea surface temperature (SST) obtained from a 1000-yr integration of a coupled atmosphere-ocean-land surface model, which consists of general circulation ...
Response of a Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model to Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide: Sensitivity to the Rate of Increase
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of differing rates of increase of the atmospheric CO2 concentration on the climatic response is investigated using a coupled ocean?atmosphere model. Five transient integrations are performed each using a ...
Comparison of the Stability of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation in Two Coupled Atmosphere–Ocean General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation models developed at GFDL show differing stability properties of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project/Paleoclimate Modeling ...
A Comparison of Surface Air Temperature Variability in Three 1000-Yr Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Model Integrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study compares the variability of surface air temperature in three long coupled ocean?atmosphere general circulation model integrations. It is shown that the annual mean climatology of the surface air temperatures ...
An Overview of CMIP5 and the Experiment Design
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) will produce a state-of-the- art multimodel dataset designed to advance our knowledge of climate variability and climate change. Researchers worldwide are analyzing ...
Spatial Variability of Sea Level Rise in Twenty-First Century Projections
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of state-of-the-science climate models are used to investigate global sea level rise (SLR) patterns induced by ocean dynamics in twenty-first-century climate projections. The identified robust features include bipolar ...
Time Scales of Terrestrial Carbon Response Related to Land-Use Application: Implications for Initializing an Earth System Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he dynamic vegetation and carbon cycling component, LM3V, of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) prototype Earth system model (ESM2.1), has been designed to simulate the effects of land use on terrestrial ...
The Role of Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Heat Uptake on AOGCM Transient Temperature Response
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of climate sensitivity and ocean heat uptake in determining the range of climate model response is investigated in the second phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) AOGCM results. The fraction ...
