Importance of Ocean Heat Uptake Efficacy to Transient Climate Change
This article proposes a modification to the standard forcing–feedback diagnostic energy balance model to account for 1) differences between effective and equilibrium climate sensitivities and 2) the variation of effective sensitivity over time in climate change experiments with coupled atmosphere–ocean climate models. In the spirit of Hansen et al. an efficacy factor is applied to the ocean hea...
متن کاملUpper Ocean Heat and Freshwater Budgets
The surface layer of the ocean undergoes temperature variations which occur at several different temporal scales: a diurnal cycle reSecting day and night variability, an annual cycle showing seasonal variations in insolation and weather, and interannual to decadal cycles, indicating large-scale, long-term climate variability. The strength of a given cycle also depends on the location, for examp...
متن کاملThe climate change commitment.
Even if atmospheric composition were fixed today, global-mean temperature and sea level rise would continue due to oceanic thermal inertia. These constant-composition (CC) commitments and their uncertainties are quantified. Constant-emissions (CE) commitments are also considered. The CC warming commitment could exceed 1 degrees C. The CE warming commitment is 2 degrees to 6 degrees C by the yea...

متن کاملVulnerability and capacity: explaining local commitment to climate-change policy
We examine the reasons why a US locality would voluntarily commit to the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) campaign. Using geographic information systems analytic techniques, we map and measure a locality's vulnerability to climate-change impacts at the county level of spatial precision. We analyze multiple measures of climate-change vulnerability, including expected temperature change, extre...
