Simulated Global-Mean Sea Level Changes over the Last Half-Millennium
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simulations of the last 500 yr carried out using the Third Hadley Centre Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere GCM (HadCM3) with anthropogenic and natural (solar and volcanic) forcings have been analyzed. Global-mean surface temperature ...
Central-Eastern China Persistent Heat Waves: Evaluation of the AMIP Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLarge-scale and persistent heat waves affecting central-eastern China are investigated in 40 different simulations of sea surface temperature driven global atmospheric models. The different models are compared with ...
Assessing Bias and Uncertainty in the HadAT-Adjusted Radiosonde Climate Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Uncertainties in observed records of atmospheric temperature aloft remain poorly quantified. This has resulted in considerable controversy regarding signals of climate change over recent decades from temperature records ...
Critically Reassessing Tropospheric Temperature Trends from Radiosondes Using Realistic Validation Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Biases and uncertainties in large-scale radiosonde temperature trends in the troposphere are critically reassessed. Realistic validation experiments are performed on an automatic radiosonde homogenization system by applying ...
Improved Analyses of Changes and Uncertainties in Sea Surface Temperature Measured In Situ since the Mid-Nineteenth Century: The HadSST2 Dataset
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new flexible gridded dataset of sea surface temperature (SST) since 1850 is presented and its uncertainties are quantified. This analysis [the Second Hadley Centre Sea Surface Temperature dataset (HadSST2)] is based on ...
