Changes in Heat Index Associated with Co2-induced Global Warming
Changes in Heat Index (a combined measure of temperature and humidity) associated with global warming are evaluated based on the output from four extended integrations of the GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model. The four integrations are: a control with constant levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), a second integration in which an estimate of the combined radiative forcing of gre...
متن کاملReview on Ocean Heat Content and Ocean Warming
Since the mid-20th century, there is substantial increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans, which is now known as "global warming". Global mean surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C during the 100 years ending in 2005. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the increase since the mid-twentieth century is "...
متن کاملSolar panels reduce both global warming and urban heat island
*Correspondence: Valéry Masson, Météo-France/CNRS, Centre National de Recherches Météorologiques/Groupe d’étude de l’atmosphère Météorologique, 42 av Coriolis, 31057 Toulouse, France e-mail: [email protected] The production of solar energy in cities is clearly a way to diminish our dependency to fossil fuels, and is a good way to mitigate global warming by lowering the emission of greenhou...
متن کاملAssessing the impacts of global warming on forest pest dynamics
www.frontiersinecology.org © The Ecological Society of America T evolutionary history of insects predates that of modern forests, and forest ecosystems originated and evolved under substantial insect herbivore pressure (Farrell et al. 1992). In spite – or perhaps because – of their long-standing ecological association, most insects live in a benign, or even beneficial, relationship with their h...
متن کاملCan global warming affect tropical ocean heat transport?
Tropical meridional ocean heat transport is studied in six coupled ocean-atmosphere models in which atmospheric CO 2 concentration has been increased. In the Indo-Pacific, the strength of Subtropical Cells (STCs) changes in response to changes in the trade winds. However, the change is not consistent among models. In contrast, in all models the tropical Indo-Pacific heat transport remains nearl...
