Analysing the climate sensitivity of the HadSM3 climate model using ensembles from different but related experiments
Projections of future climate are determined by a wide array of detailed and imperfectly understood physical processes. While ensembles of global climate model (GCM) simulations can be run to sample the resulting uncertainties, statistical tools are needed to supplement these simulations, and hence provide a more comprehensive picture of how interactions between different processes influence th...
متن کاملDo Climate Models Underestimate the Sensitivity of Northern Hemisphere
The sensitivity of Northern Hemisphere sea ice cover to global temperature change is examined in a group of climate models and in the satellite-era observations. The models are found to have well-defined, distinguishable sensitivities in climate change experiments. The satellite-era observations show a larger sensitivity— a larger decline per degree of warming—than any of the models. To evaluat...
متن کاملCoupling climate and hydrological models: Interoperability through Web Services
Understanding regional-scale water resource systems requires understanding coupled hydrologic and climate interactions. The traditional approach in the hydrologic sciences and engineering fields has been to either treat the atmosphere as a forcing condition on the hydrologic model, or to adopt a specific hydrologic model design in order to be interoperable with a climate model. We propose here ...
متن کاملConsiderations for parameter optimization and sensitivity in climate models.
Climate models exhibit high sensitivity in some respects, such as for differences in predicted precipitation changes under global warming. Despite successful large-scale simulations, regional climatology features prove difficult to constrain toward observations, with challenges including high-dimensionality, computationally expensive simulations, and ambiguity in the choice of objective functio...
متن کاملTesting climate models using GPS radio occultation: A sensitivity analysis
[1] We survey the IPCC AR4 models’ responses to SRES A1B forcing in order to evaluate a prediction of climate change common to all models and testable using GPS radio occultation data over the coming decades. Of the IPCC AR4 models that submitted runs of the SRES A1B forcing scenario, we select twelve because of the timeliness of their submission. Trends in the global average surface air temper...
