Climate forcings and climate sensitivities diagnosed from atmospheric global circulation models
Understanding the historical and future response of the global climate system to anthropogenic emissions of radiatively active atmospheric constituents has become a timely and compelling concern. At present, however, there are uncertainties in: the total radiative forcing associated with changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere; the effective forcing applied to the climate system r...
متن کاملStochastic and scaling climate sensitivities: Solar, volcanic and orbital forcings
[1] Climate sensitivity (l) is usually defined as a deterministic quantity relating climate forcings and responses. While this may be appropriate for evaluating the outputs of (deterministic) GCM’s it is problematic for estimating sensitivities from empirical data. We introduce a stochastic definition where it is only a statistical link between the forcing and response, an upper bound on the de...
متن کاملReconstructing past Climate from Natural Proxies and Estimated Climate Forcings Using Long Memory Models
We produce new reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere annually averaged temperature anomalies back to 1000AD, based on a model that includes external climate forcings and accounts for the long-memory features displayed in the data sets. Our reconstruction is based on two linear models, with the first linking the latent temperature series to three main external forcings (solar irradiance, greenh...
متن کاملSimulated Climate and Climate Change in the GFDL CM2.5 High-Resolution Coupled Climate Model
The authors present results for simulated climate and climate change from a newly developed highresolution global climate model [Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Climate Model version 2.5 (GFDL CM2.5)]. The GFDL CM2.5 has an atmospheric resolution of approximately 50 km in the horizontal, with 32 vertical levels. The horizontal resolution in the ocean ranges from 28 km in the tropics to 8 ...
متن کاملClimate forcings in the industrial era.
The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change. Anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs), which are well measured, cause a strong positive (warming) forcing. But other, poorly measured, anthropogenic forcings, especially changes of atmospheric aerosols, clouds, and land-use patterns, cause a negative forcing that tends to ...
