Aerosols, climate, and the hydrological cycle.
Human activities are releasing tiny particles (aerosols) into the atmosphere. These human-made aerosols enhance scattering and absorption of solar radiation. They also produce brighter clouds that are less efficient at releasing precipitation. These in turn lead to large reductions in the amount of solar irradiance reaching Earth's surface, a corresponding increase in solar heating of the atmos...
متن کاملA new feedback on climate change from the hydrological cycle
[1] An intensification of the hydrological cycle is a likely consequence of global warming. But changes in the hydrological cycle could affect sea-surface temperature by modifying diffusive ocean heat transports. We investigate this mechanism by studying a coupled general circulation model sensitivity experiment in which the hydrological cycle is artificially amplified. We find that the amplifi...
متن کاملRole of the hydrological cycle in regulating the planetary climate system of a simple nonlinear dynamical model
We present the construction of a dynamic area fraction model (DAFM), representing a new class of models for an earth-like planet. The model presented here has no spatial dimensions, but contains coupled parameterizations for all the major components of the hydrological cycle involving liquid, solid and vapor phases. We investigate the nature of feedback processes with this model in regulating E...
متن کاملOscillations in a simple climate–vegetation model
We formulate and analyze a simple dynamical systems model for climate–vegetation interaction. The planet we consider consists of a large ocean and a land surface on which vegetation can grow. The temperature affects vegetation growth on land and the amount of sea ice on the ocean. Conversely, vegetation and sea ice change the albedo of the planet, which in turn changes its energy balance and he...
متن کاملCoupling between subtropical cloud feedback and the local hydrological cycle in a climate model
In HadGEM2-A, AMIP experiments forced with observed sea surface temperatures respond to uniform and patterned ?4 K SST perturbations with strong positive cloud feedbacks in the subtropical stratocumulus/trade cumulus transition regions. Over the subtropical Northeast Pacific at 137 W/26 N, the boundary layer cloud fraction reduces considerably in the AMIP ?4 K patterned SST experiment. The near...
