Scale-Dependent Detection of Climate Change
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spatially and temporally dependent fingerprint patterns of near-surface temperature change are derived from transient climate simulations of the second Hadley Centre coupled ocean?atmosphere GCM (HADCM2). Trends in ...
The Impact of an Extreme Cloud burst on Edinburgh Castle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Separating Forced from Chaotic Climate Variability over the Past Millennium
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: econstructions of past climate show notable temperature variability over the past millennium, with relatively warm conditions during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and a relatively cold Little Ice Age (LIA). Multimodel ...
Can Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Measurements Constrain Climate Predictions? Part II: Climate Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: large number of perturbed-physics simulations of version 3 of the Hadley Centre Atmosphere Model (HadAM3) were compared with the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) estimates of outgoing longwave radiation ...
Can Top-of-Atmosphere Radiation Measurements Constrain Climate Predictions? Part I: Tuning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: erturbed physics configurations of version 3 of the Hadley Centre Atmosphere Model (HadAM3) driven with observed sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea ice were tuned to outgoing radiation observations using a Gauss?Newton ...
How Much Has the North Atlantic Ocean Overturning Circulation Changed in the Last 50 Years?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olume transports from six ocean reanalyses are compared with four sets of in situ observations: across the Greenland?Scotland ridge (GSR), in the Labrador Sea boundary current, in the deep western boundary current at 43°N, ...
Can a Decadal Forecasting System Predict Temperature Extreme Indices?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: aily maximum and minimum summer temperatures have increased throughout the majority of Europe over the past few decades, along with the frequency and intensity of heat waves. It is essential to learn whether this rise is ...
Climate Model–Simulated Diurnal Cycles in HIRS Clear-Sky Brightness Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: lear-sky brightness temperature measurements from the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS) are simulated with two climate models via a radiative transfer code. The models are sampled along the HIRS orbit paths ...
Variability of Deep-Ocean Mass Transport: Spectral Shapes and Spatial Scales
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper studies the variability of deep-ocean mass transport using four 1000-yr integrations performed with coupled general circulation models. Statistics describing the spectral and spatial features are considered. It ...
Climatological Diurnal Cycles in Clear-Sky Brightness Temperatures from the High-Resolution Infrared Radiation Sounder (HIRS)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: climatology of the diurnal cycles of HIRS clear-sky brightness temperatures was developed based on measurements over the period 2002?07. This was done by fitting a Fourier series to monthly gridded brightness temperatures ...
