RISEnlightening Global Dimming and Brightening
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntal determinant of climate and life on our planet is the solar radiation (sunlight) incident at the Earth's surface. Any change in this precious energy source affects our habitats profoundly. Until recently, for simplicity ...
Radiative Fluxes in the ECHAM5 General Circulation Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative fluxes in the ECHAM5 general circulation model (GCM) are evaluated using both surface and satellite-based observations. The fluxes at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) are generally in good agreement with the ...
GCM-Simulated Surface Energy Fluxes in Climate Change Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The changes in the surface energy fluxes calculated with a general circulation model under increased levels of carbon dioxide concentration are analyzed and related to the simulation of these fluxes under present-day ...
A Possible Change in Mass Balance of Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets in the Coming Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution GCM is found to simulate precipitation and surface energy balance of high latitudes with high accuracy. This opens new possibilities to investigate the future mass balance of polar glaciers and its effect ...
Global Trends in Downward Surface Solar Radiation from Spatial Interpolated Ground Observations during 1961–2019
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Homogenization and Trend Analysis of the 1958–2016 In Situ Surface Solar Radiation Records in China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a method to homogenize China?s surface solar radiation (SSR) data and uses the resulting homogenized SSR data to assess the SSR trend over the period 1958?2016. Neighboring surface sunshine ...
Constraints on Climate Sensitivity from Radiation Patterns in Climate Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The estimated range of climate sensitivity, the equilibrium warming resulting from a doubling of the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, has not decreased substantially in past decades. New statistical methods for ...
Validation of General Circulation Model Radiative Fluxes Using Surface Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The surface radiative fluxes of the ECHAM3 General Circulation Model (GCM) with T2 1, T42, and T 106 resolutions have been validated using observations from the Global Energy Balance Archive (GEBA, World Climate Program-Water ...
Comparison of Radiative Energy Flows in Observational Datasets and Climate Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines radiative flux distributions and local spread of values from three major observational datasets (CERES, ISCCP, and SRB) and compares them with results from climate modeling (CMIP3). Examinations of the ...
The Global Character of the Flux of Downward Longwave Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: our different types of estimates of the surface downwelling longwave radiative flux (DLR) are reviewed. One group of estimates synthesizes global cloud, aerosol, and other information in a radiation model that is used to ...
