Future Warming Patterns Linked to Today’s Climate Variability
The reliability of model projections of greenhouse gas (GHG)-induced future climate change is often assessed based on models' ability to simulate the current climate, but there has been little evidence that connects the two. In fact, this practice has been questioned because the GHG-induced future climate change may involve additional physical processes that are not important for the current cl...
متن کاملScenario dependence of future changes in climate extremes under 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming
The 2015 Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming below 2 °C and pursue efforts to even limit it to 1.5 °C relative to pre-industrial levels. Decision makers need reliable information on the impacts caused by these warming levels for climate mitigation and adaptation measures. We explore the changes in climate extremes, which are closely tied to economic losses and casualties, under 1.5 °C ...
متن کاملChanges in the Distribution of Rain Frequency and Intensity in Response to Global Warming*
Changes in the frequency and intensity of rainfall are an important potential impact of climate change. Two modes of change, a shift and an increase, are applied to simulations of global warmingwithmodels from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The response to CO2 doubling in the multimodel mean of CMIP5 daily rainfall is characterized by an increase of 1% K at all ra...
متن کاملRainfall in the climate system: changes under global warming, and challenges for climate modelers
Anyone who has ever been drenched by a sudden downpour that failed to follow the weather forecast has a feeling for the problem that faces climate modelers. Small-scale features like thunderstorms, in which the core might be 5 km across, are much harder to predict in global models for weather and climate then are quantities like temperature that tend to vary on larger scales. Rain and snowfall,...
متن کاملQuantifying the influence of global warming on unprecedented extreme climate events.
Efforts to understand the influence of historical global warming on individual extreme climate events have increased over the past decade. However, despite substantial progress, events that are unprecedented in the local observational record remain a persistent challenge. Leveraging observations and a large climate model ensemble, we quantify uncertainty in the influence of global warming on th...
