Abstract: The present-day climatology of a global climate model (GENESIS Version 1.02) is described. The model includes a land-surface transfer component (LSX) that accounts for the physical effects of vegetation. The atmospheric ...

Abstract: As anthropogenic greenhouse warming occurs in the next century, changes in the mass balances of Greenland and Antarctica will probably accelerate and may have significant effects on global sea level. Recent trends and ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of the equilibrium climate to doubled atmospheric CO2 is investigated using the GENESIS global climate model version 1.02. The atmospheric general circulation model is a heavily modified version of the NCAR ...

Abstract: Correction to Volume 39, Issue 12, Article 2667.

Abstract: State-of-the-art radiative transfer models can calculate outgoing infrared (IR) irradiance at the top of the atmosphere (F) to an accuracy suitable for climate modeling given the proper atmospheric profiles of temperature ...

Abstract: A simple diagnostic study is performed in order to examine the influence of parameterized westerly momentum exchange by cumulus convection on the observed Hadley circulation. Observed precipitation and 200 mb winds are ...

Abstract: A zonally averaged energy balance climate model is used to generate zonal temperature variability through fluctuating meridional energy transports. In the base model, stochastic transport fluctuations are introduced by ...

Abstract: The statistical representation of multiple land surfaces within a grid cell has received attention as a means to parameterize the nonlinear effects of subgrid-scale heterogeneity on land-atmosphere energy exchange. However, ...
