Biophysical Feedbacks on the Regional Climate System
Experiments with coupled atmosphere/biosphere models indicate that land degradation leads to a reduction in rainfall, evapotranspiration, soil moisture and runoff, and an increase in surface temperature and near surface winds. This talk discusses studies that have investigated the feedback of degradation in forest and other ecosystems on regional climate in the Sahel, the central U.S., South Am...
متن کاملComputing and Partitioning Cloud Feedbacks using Cloud
7 Cloud radiative kernels and histograms of cloud fraction, both as functions of cloud 8 top pressure and optical depth, are used to quantify cloud amount, cloud height and cloud 9 optical depth feedbacks. The analysis is applied to doubled CO2 slab-ocean simulations 10 from ten global climate models participating in the Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison 11 Project. In the ensemble mean, tot...
متن کاملThe influence of regional feedbacks on circulation sensitivity
Weakening of the tropical overturning circulation in a warmer world is a robust feature in climate models. Here an idealized representation of ocean heat flux drives a Walker cell in an aquaplanet simulation. A goal of the study is to assess the influence of the Walker circulation on the magnitude and structure of climate feedbacks, as well as to global sensitivity. We compare two CO2 perturbat...
متن کاملThe remote impacts of climate feedbacks on regional climate predictability
Uncertainty in the spatial pattern of climate change is dominated by divergent predictions among climate models. Model di erences are closely linked to their representation of climate feedbacks, that is, the additional radiative fluxes that are caused by changes in clouds, water vapour, surface albedo, and other factors, in response to an external climate forcing. Progress in constraining this ...
متن کاملTime-Varying Climate Sensitivity from Regional Feedbacks
The sensitivity of global climate with respect to forcing is generally described in terms of the global climate feedback—the global radiative response per degree of global annualmean surface temperature change.While the global climate feedback is often assumed to be constant, its value—diagnosed from global climate models—shows substantial time variation under transient warming. Here a reformul...
