Climate change hotspots in the CMIP5 global climate model ensemble
We use a statistical metric of multi-dimensional climate change to quantify the emergence of global climate change hotspots in the CMIP5 climate model ensemble. Our hotspot metric extends previous work through the inclusion of extreme seasonal temperature and precipitation, which exert critical influence on climate change impacts. The results identify areas of the Amazon, the Sahel and tropical...
متن کاملA global perspective on CMIP5 climate model biases
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report largely depends on simulations, predictions and projections by climate models1. Most models, however, have deficiencies and biases that raise large uncertainties in their products. Over the past several decades, a tremendous e ort has been made to improve model performance in the simulation of special regions and aspects of...
متن کاملParameterization of cloud droplet formation in global climate models
An aerosol activation parameterization has been developed, based on a generalized representation of aerosol size and composition within the framework of an ascending adiabatic parcel; this allows for parameterizing the activation of chemically complex aerosol with arbitrary size distribution and mixing state. The new parameterization introduces the concept of “population splitting”, in which th...
متن کاملTree approximation of the long wave radiation parameterization in the NCAR CAM global climate model
The computation of Global Climate Models (GCMs) presents significant numerical challenges. This paper presents new algorithms based on sparse occupancy trees for learning and emulating the longwave radiation parameterization in theNCAR CAMclimate model. This emulation occupies by far the most significant portion of the computational time in the implementation of the model. From the mathematical...
