Comparing clouds and their seasonal variations in 10 atmospheric general circulation models with satellite measurements
[1] To assess the current status of climate models in simulating clouds, basic cloud climatologies from ten atmospheric general circulation models are compared with satellite measurements from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) program. An ISCCP simulator is employed in all models to facilitate the comparison. M...
متن کاملEstimation and Analysis of Caspian Region's Future Rainfalls by Using General Atmospheric Circulation Models.
In recent years, the severe fluctuations in precipitation have affected various parts of the country. On the southern coasts of the Caspian Sea, precipitation as one of the important climatic parameters has undergone changes due to global climate change. In the present study, we tried to evaluate the effect of climate change on rainfall in this region by applying a suitable model. In this study...
متن کاملTesting the impact of clouds on the radiation budgets of 19 atmospheric general circulation models
[1] We compare cloud-radiative forcing (CRF) at the top-of-the atmosphere from 19 atmospheric general circulation models, employing simulations with prescribed seasurface temperatures, to observations from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). With respect to 60 N to 60 S means, a surprising result is that many of the 19 models produce unusually large biases in Net CRF that are all of t...
متن کاملTransient Climate Response in Coupled Atmospheric–Ocean General Circulation Models
The equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) has a large uncertainty range among models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) and has recently been presented as ‘‘inherently unpredictable.’’ One way to circumvent this problem is to consider the transient climate response (TCR). However, the TCR among AR4 models also differs by more tha...
متن کاملComparison of an isotopic atmospheric general circulation model with new quasiglobal satellite measurements of water vapor isotopologues
[1] We performed an intensive comparison of an isotope‐incorporated atmospheric general circulation model with vapor isotopologue ratio observation data by two quasi‐global satellite sensors in preparation for data assimilation of water isotope ratios. A global Isotope‐incorporated Global Spectral Model simulation nudged toward the reanalysis wind field, atmospheric total column data from Scann...
