Sensitivity of Antarctic Precipitation to Sea Ice Concentrations in a General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several recent studies have highlighted the connections among observed climate variability, such as the Southern Oscillation, sea ice cover, and Antarctic precipitation. The direct contribution of observed sea ice variability ...
The Response of the Polar Regions to Increased CO2 in a Global Climate Model with Elastic–Viscous–Plastic Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global atmosphere?ocean?sea ice general circulation model (GCM) is used in simulations of climate with present-day atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and with CO2 increasing to double the present-day values. The Parallel ...
Future Projections of Heat and Fire-Risk Indices for the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ncreasing temperatures and changes in precipitation associated with climate change are expected to have increasing impacts on the contiguous United States in the coming decades, including military training and outdoor ...
Sea Ice and Polar Climate in the NCAR CSM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Climate System Model (CSM) consists of atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea-ice components linked by a flux coupler, which computes fluxes of energy and momentum between components. The sea-ice component consists of a ...
Parameterization Improvements in an Eddy-Permitting Ocean Model for Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Different parameterizations for vertical mixing and the effects of ocean mesoscale eddies are tested in an eddy-permitting ocean model. It has a horizontal resolution averaging about 0.7° and was used as the ocean component ...
