Drake Passage Oceanic pCO2: Evaluating CMIP5 Coupled Carbon–Climate Models Using in situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) variations in Drake Passage are examined using decade-long underway shipboard measurements. North of the Polar Front (PF), the observed pCO2 shows a seasonal cycle that peaks ...
AirCore: An Innovative Atmospheric Sampling System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work describes the AirCore, a simple and innovative atmospheric sampling system. The AirCore used in this study is a 150-m-long stainless steel tube, open at one end and closed at the other, that relies on positive ...
A Low-Cost System for Measuring Horizontal Winds from Single-Engine Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he implementation and accuracy of a low-rate (~1 Hz) horizontal wind measurement system is described for a fixed-wing aircraft without modification to the airframe. The system is based on a global positioning system (GPS) ...
Impacts of Shortwave Penetration Depth on Large-Scale Ocean Circulation and Heat Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The impact of changes in shortwave radiation penetration depth on the global ocean circulation and heat transport is studied using the GFDL Modular Ocean Model (MOM4) with two independent parameterizations that use ocean ...
A Cost-Effective Trace Gas Measurement Program for Long-Term Monitoring of the Stratospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pheric trace gas measurement program using balloon-based sonde and AirCore sampler techniques is proposed as a way to monitor the strength of the stratospheric mean meridional or Brewer?Dobson circulation. Modeling work ...
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Variability in the Community Earth System Model: Evaluation and Transient Dynamics during the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hanges in atmospheric CO2 variability during the twenty-first century may provide insight about ecosystem responses to climate change and have implications for the design of carbon monitoring programs. This paper describes ...
GFDL's CM2 Global Coupled Climate Models. Part II: The Baseline Ocean Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current generation of coupled climate models run at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) as part of the Climate Change Science Program contains ocean components that differ in almost every respect from those ...
The O2/N2 Ratio and CO2 Airborne Southern Ocean Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Southern Ocean plays a critical role in the global climate system by mediating atmosphere?ocean partitioning of heat and carbon dioxide. However, Earth system models are demonstrably deficient in the Southern ...
