متن کاملTransient Climate Response in Coupled Atmospheric–Ocean General Circulation Models
The equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) has a large uncertainty range among models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) and has recently been presented as ‘‘inherently unpredictable.’’ One way to circumvent this problem is to consider the transient climate response (TCR). However, the TCR among AR4 models also differs by more tha...
متن کاملCirculation Response to Climate Forcing: Uniform SST Warming
7 The mechanisms of the atmospheric response to climate forcing are analyzed using an ex8 ample of uniform SST warming in an idealized aqua-planet model. A 200-member ensemble 9 of experiments is conducted with an instantaneous uniform SST warming. The zonal mean 10 circulation changes display a rapid poleward shift in the midlatitude eddy-driven westerlies 11 and the edge of the Hadley cell ci...
متن کاملUncertainties in carbon dioxide radiative forcing in atmospheric general circulation models.
Global warming caused by an increase in the concentrations of greenhouse gases, is the direct result of greenhouse gas-induced radiative forcing. When a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide is considered, this forcing differed substantially among 15 atmospheric general circulation models. Although there are several potential causes, the largest contributor was the carbon dioxide radiation par...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Temperature and Clouds on the CO2 Forcing
CO 2 forcing is defined as the initial change in heating rate, with no feedbacks included, that is the direct response to an increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. We have conducted a study of the effects of surface temperature and clouds on the CO2 forcing, based on use of the Colorado State University general circulation model. We report results from a pair of perpetual July sim...
