Simulation of the Last 21 000 Years Using Accelerated Transient Boundary Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The earth system model of intermediate complexity ECBilt-CLIO has been used for transient simulations of the last deglaciation and the Holocene. The forcing effects of the ice sheets, greenhouse gas concentrations, and ...
Synoptic-Statistical Approach to Regional Downscaling of IPCC Twenty-First-Century Climate Projections: Seasonal Rainfall over the Hawaiian Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear statistical downscaling technique is applied to the projection of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) climate change scenarios onto Hawaiian rainfall for the late ...
Scale-Dependent Reconstruction of the NAO Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method is presented to reconstruct decadal variations of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The spectral characteristics of the NAO on time scales of decades and longer are of particular interest for the understanding ...
The Roles of CO2 and Orbital Forcing in Driving Southern Hemispheric Temperature Variations during the Last 21 000 Yr
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Transient climate model simulations covering the last 21 000 yr reveal that orbitally driven insolation changes in the Southern Hemisphere, combined with a rise in atmospheric pCO2, were sufficient to jump-start the deglacial ...
Mechanisms for the Onset of the African Humid Period and Sahara Greening 14.5–11 ka BP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mechanisms leading to the onset of the African Humid Period (AHP) 14 500?11 000 yr ago are elucidated using two different climate?vegetation models in a suite of transient glacial?interglacial simulations covering the ...
Effects of Salt Compensation on the Climate Model Response in Simulations of Large Changes of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Freshwater hosing experiments with a comprehensive coupled climate model and a coupled model of intermediate complexity are performed with and without global salt compensation in order to investigate the robustness of the ...
Asymmetric Modulation of ENSO Teleconnections by the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractRemote influences of ENSO are known to vary with different phases of the interdecadal Pacific oscillation (IPO). Here, observational and reanalysis data from 1920 to 2014 are analyzed to present a global synthesis ...
Downscaling of Climate Change in the Hawaii Region Using CMIP5 Results: On the Choice of the Forcing Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model has been configured as a regional climate model for the Hawaii region (HRCM) to assess the uncertainties associated with the pseudo?global warming (PGW) downscaling method ...
Empirical–Statistical Downscaling of Austral Summer Precipitation over South America, with a Focus on the Central Peruvian Andes and the Equatorial Amazon Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Modeling Obliquity and CO2 Effects on Southern Hemisphere Climate during the Past 408 ka
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of obliquity and CO2 changes on Southern Hemispheric climate is studied with a series of numerical modeling experiments. Using the Earth system model of intermediate complexity Loch?VECODE?ECBilt?CLIO?Agism Model ...
