Climate response to volcanic forcing: Validation of climate sensitivity of a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model
[1] Two versions of a coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (GCM) with different climate sensitivities are tested on global cooling following the Pinatubo volcanic eruption to investigate the validity of high climate sensitivities. The higher-sensitivity version, with climate sensitivity of 6.3 K for doubled CO2 forcing, overestimates cooling due to the volcanic eruption, whereas t...
متن کاملClimate and the Ocean Circulation
A general circulation model of the joint ocean-atmosphere system is constructed by combining an ocean model and an atmospheric model. The quantities exchanged between the oceanic part and the atmospheric part of the joint model are momentum, heat, and water. Integration of the atmospheric part yields the surface wind stress, net radiation, sensible heat flux, rates of rainfall and snowfall, rat...
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 کاملBiomarker response of climate change-induced ocean acidification and hypercapnia studies on brachyurian crab Portunus pelagicus
A laboratory level microcosm analysis of the impacts of ocean acidification on the environmental stress biomarkers in Portunus pelagicus (Linneaus 1758)exposed to a series of pH regimes expected in the year 2100 (pH 7.5 and 7.0) and leakage from a sub-seabed carbon dioxide storage site (pH 6.5 - 5.5) was carried out. Levels of the antioxidant enzyme catalase, the phase II detoxificatio...
متن کاملDecoupled Response of Ocean Acidification to Variations in Climate Sensitivity
It is now well understood that the global surface ocean, whose pH has been reduced by;0.1 in response to rising atmospheric CO2 since industrialization, will continue to become more acidic as fossil fuel CO2 emissions escalate. However, it is unclear how uncertainties in climate sensitivity to future CO2 emissions will alter the manifestation of ocean acidification. Using an earth system model ...
