Anthropocene changes in desert area: Sensitivity to climate model predictions
[1] Changes in desert area due to humans have important implications from a local, regional to global level. Here I focus on the latter in order to better understand estimated changes in desert dust aerosols and the associated iron deposition into oceans. Using 17 model simulations from the World Climate Research Programme’s Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 multi-model dataset and ...
متن کاملSensitivity of Climate to Changes in NDVI
The sensitivity of global and regional climate to changes in vegetation density is investigated using a coupled biosphere-atmosphere model. The magnitude of the vegetation changes and their spatial distribution are based on natural decadal variability of the normalized difference vegetation index (ndvi). Different scenarios using maximum and minimum vegetation cover were derived from satellite ...
متن کاملThe Study of Tourism Comfort Climate Index in Desert Area (Case Study: Yazd Province)
Proper climate and adequate knowledge tourism and can be as an attractive or unpleasant factor for tourists. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the tourism climate of Yazd province as one of the most important provinces in the arid regions of the country. For determining the tourism presence comfort in the Yazd province, Tourism Climate Index (TCI) was used. In order to investigate tou...
متن کاملCCSM CAM3 Climate Simulation Sensitivity to Changes in Horizontal Resolution
The latest version of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) Community Atmosphere Model, Version 3 (CAM3), has been released to allow for numerical integration at a variety of horizontal resolutions. One goal of the CAM3 design was to provide comparable large-scale simulation fidelity over a range of horizontal resolutions through modifications to adjustable coefficients in the parameterized...
متن کاملUnderstanding Climate Sensitivity to Tropical Deforestation in a Mechanistic Model
An analysis is provided to explain the sensitivity of regional climate to tropical deforestation based on an intermediate-level mechanistic model for land–atmosphere interaction. The analytical framework is made possible by the fact that feedback to local thermodynamics from large-scale dynamics is negligible, so the determining processes take place in situ. The analytical method accurately rep...
