متن کاملAn Assessment of Climate Feedbacks in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Models
The climate feedbacks in coupled ocean–atmosphere models are compared using a coordinated set of twenty-first-century climate change experiments. Water vapor is found to provide the largest positive feedback in all models and its strength is consistent with that expected from constant relative humidity changes in the water vapor mixing ratio. The feedbacks from clouds and surface albedo are als...
متن کاملAtmospheric chemistry‐climate feedbacks
[1] We extend the theory of climate feedbacks to include atmospheric chemistry. A change in temperature caused by a radiative forcing will include, in general, a contribution from the chemical change that is fed back into the climate system; likewise, the change in atmospheric burdens caused by a chemical forcing will include a contribution from the associated climate change that is fed back in...
متن کاملThe complexity of Atmospheric and Climate Models: Assumptions and Feedbacks
While it is true that the physical principles and equations discussed in part one do form the “core” of any atmospheric or climate model, there are processes in the observed system that are difficult to represent due to our incomplete understanding of the process, or the fact that some processes are not exact. Many of these processes are what we call “feedbacks”. Feedbacks are manifestations of...
متن کاملENSO Asymmetry in CMIP5 Models
The El Ni~ no–La Ni~ na asymmetry is evaluated in 14 coupled models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The results show that an underestimate of ENSO asymmetry, a common problem noted in CMIP3 models, remains a common problem in CMIP5 coupled models. The weaker ENSO asymmetry in the models primarily results from a weaker SST warm anomaly over the eastern Pacific ...
