Interactive comment on “Towards a better representation of the solar cycle in general circulation models” by K. M. Nissen et al

چکیده
Reply to Referee #4: General comments: The Referee suggests a comparison of the ECHAM5-MESSy simulations using the FUBRad scheme with other GCM or CCM simulations. This is however beyond the scope of this paper. A radiation code intercomparison is going to be performed within the CCMVal activity. FUBRad will participate in this intercomparison. The Referee is right when stating that other GCMs/CCMs exist that use spectrally resolved SW radiation codes. However the ECHAM5 radiation code is still in widespread use, also for the analysis of solar variability. It is the purpose of our paper to attract the attention of the GCM/CCM community to the fact that the interpretation of the solar

متن کاملTowards a better representation of the solar cycle in general circulation models
We introduce the improved Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) high-resolution radiation scheme FUBRad and compare it to the 4-band standard ECHAM5 SW radiation scheme of Fouquart and Bonnel (FB). Both schemes are validated against the detailed radiative transfer model libRadtran. FUBRad produces realistic heating rate variations during the solar cycle. The SW heating rate response with the FB scheme...

1-Introduction Climate change refers to any significant change in the existing mean climatic conditions within a certain time period (Jana and Majumder, 2010; Giorgi, 2006). Earth's climate change through history has happened (Nakicenovic et al., 2000; Bytnerowicz et al., 2007). 2-Materials and methods In this study, daily precipitation and daily maximum (Tmax) and daily minimum (Tmin) tempera...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Validity and Real-World Utility of Health Technology Assessments in Healthcare: Future Directions; Comment on “Problems and Promises of Health Technologies: The Role of Early Health Economic Modelling”
With their article, Grutters et al raise an important question: What do successful health technology assessments (HTAs) look like, and what is their real-world utility in decision-making? While many HTAs are published in peer-reviewed journals, many are considered proprietary and their attributes remain confidential, limiting researchers’ ability to answer these questio...
متن کاملHow Can a Global Social Support System Hope to Achieve Fairer Competiveness?; Comment on “A Global Social Support System: What the International Community Could Learn From the United States’ National Basketball Association”
Ooms et al sets out some good general principles for a global social support system to improve fairer global competitiveness as a result of redistribution. This commentary sets out to summarize some of the conditions that would need to be satisfied for it to level up gradients in inequality through such a social support system, using the National Basketball Association (NBA) example as a point ...
