Global iron connections between desert dust, ocean biogeochemistry, and climate.
The environmental conditions of Earth, including the climate, are determined by physical, chemical, biological, and human interactions that transform and transport materials and energy. This is the "Earth system": a highly complex entity characterized by multiple nonlinear responses and thresholds, with linkages between disparate components. One important part of this system is the iron cycle, ...
متن کاملLongwave Radiative Forcing in Global Climate Models
Long wave radiation (LWR) forcing is determined in atmospheric global climate models (AGCMs) by a heating algorithm embedded in the model. These algorithms compute vertical heating rate (HR) profiles from profiles of temperature (T), moisture (Q), clouds, and minor atmospheric constituents; thus the HRs depend on the vertical structure of the input variables plus internal physics. The sensitivi...
متن کاملGlobal distribution and climate forcing of carbonaceous aerosols
[1] The global distribution of carbonaceous aerosols is simulated online in the Goddard Institute for Space Studies General Circulation Model II-prime (GISS GCM II-prime). Prognostic tracers include black carbon (BC), primary organic aerosol (POA), five groups of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), and 14 semivolatile products of BVOC oxidation by O3, OH, and NO3, which condense to for...
متن کاملSensitivity of climate forcing and response to dust optical properties in an idealized model
[1] An idealized global climate model is used to explore the response of the climate to a wide range of dust radiative properties and dust layer heights. The top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave forcing becomes more negative as the broadband shortwave single scattering albedo increases and the broadband shortwave asymmetry parameter decreases, but the sensitivity is highly dependent on the loc...
