A process-based analysis of ocean heat uptake in an AOGCM
About 90% of the anthropogenic increase in heat stored in the climate system 6 is found the oceans. Therefore it is relevant to understand the details of ocean heat up7 take. Here we present a detailed, process-based analysis of ocean heat uptake (OHU) pro8 cesses in HiGEM1.2, an atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) with an 9 eddy-permitting ocean component of 1/3 resolution. Simi...
متن کاملAn Eddy-Permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate
An eddy-permitting general circulation model of the Southern Ocean is fit by constrained least squares to a large observational dataset during 2005–06. Data used include Argo float profiles, CTD synoptic sections, Southern Elephant Seals as Oceanographic Samplers (SEaOS) instrument-mounted seal profiles, XBTs, altimetric observations [Envisat, Geosat, Jason-1, and Ocean Topography Experiment (T...
متن کاملUptake and spreading of anthropogenic trace gases in an eddy-permitting model of the Atlantic Ocean
[1] An eddy-permitting circulation model of the Atlantic Ocean was used to study the effect of mesoscale processes on the uptake and spreading of anthropogenic CO2 and CFC-11. A comparison with a coarser-resolution model version shows anthropogenic tracer distributions with qualitatively similar patterns, but much more structure (e.g., stronger longitudinal gradients) in the eddy-permitting mod...
متن کاملShort-term impacts of enhanced Greenland freshwater fluxes in an eddy-permitting ocean model
In a sensitivity experiment, an eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model is forced with realistic freshwater fluxes from the Greenland Ice Sheet, averaged for the period 1991–2000. The fluxes are obtained with a mass balance model for the ice sheet, forced with the ERA-40 reanalysis dataset. The freshwater flux is distributed around Greenland as an additional term in prescribed runoff, r...
متن کاملThe Role of Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Heat Uptake on AOGCM Transient Temperature Response
The role of climate sensitivity and ocean heat uptake in determining the range of climate model response is investigated in the second phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) AOGCM results. The fraction of equilibrium warming that is realized at any one time is less in those models with higher climate sensitivity, leading to a reduction in the temperature response range at th...
