Emission Scenario Dependency of Precipitation on Global Warming in the MIROC3.2 Model

Source: Journal of Climate:;2009:;volume( 023 ):;issue: 009:;page 2404

Author(s): Shiogama, Hideo; Emori, Seita; Takahashi, Kiyoshi; Nagashima, Tatsuya; Ogura, Tomoo; Nozawa, Toru; Takemura, Toshihiko

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The precipitation sensitivity per 1 K of global warming in twenty-first-century climate projections is smaller in an emission scenario with larger greenhouse gas concentrations and aerosol emissions, according to the Model ...

Single-Scattering Albedo and Radiative Forcing of Various Aerosol Species with a Global Three-Dimensional Model

Source: Journal of Climate:;2002:;volume( 015 ):;issue: 004:;page 333

Author(s): Takemura, Toshihiko; Nakajima, Teruyuki; Dubovik, Oleg; Holben, Brent N.; Kinne, Stefan

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Global distributions of the aerosol optical thickness, Ångström exponent, and single-scattering albedo are simulated using an aerosol transport model coupled with an atmospheric general circulation model. All the main ...

Abstract: A new version of the atmosphere?ocean general circulation model cooperatively produced by the Japanese research community, known as the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), has recently been developed. ...

An “A-Train” Strategy for Quantifying Direct Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Aerosols

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2005:;volume( 086 ):;issue: 012:;page 1795

Author(s): Anderson, Theodore L.; Charlson, Robert J.; Bellouin, Nicolas; Boucher, Olivier; Chin, Mian; Christopher, Sundar A.; Haywood, Jim; Kaufman, Yoram J.; Kinne, Stefan; Ogren, John A.; Remer, Lorraine A.; Takemura, Toshihiko; Tanré, Didier; Torres, Omar; Trepte, Charles R.; Wielicki, Bruce A.; Winker, David M.; Yu, Hongbin

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This document outlines a practical strategy for achieving an observationally based quantification of direct climate forcing by anthropogenic aerosols. The strategy involves a four-step program for shifting the current ...
