Global distribution of Earth’s surface shortwave radiation budget
The monthly mean shortwave (SW) radiation budget at the Earth’s surface (SRB) was computed on 2.5degree longitude-latitude resolution for the 17-year period from 1984 to 2000, using a radiative transfer model accounting for the key physical parameters that determine the surface SRB, and long-term climatological data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCPD2). The model...
متن کاملSurface temperatures at the nearside of the Moon as a record of the radiation budget of Earth’s climate system
Understanding the balance between incoming radiation from the Sun and outgoing radiation from Earth is of critical importance in the study of climate change on Earth. As the only natural satellite of Earth, the Moon is a unique platform for the study of the disk-wide radiation budget of Earth. There are no complications from atmosphere, hydrosphere, or biosphere on the Moon. The nearside of the...
متن کاملThe Climate Sensitivity and Its Components Diagnosed from Earth Radiation Budget Data
One of the major uncertainties in the ability to predict future climate change, and hence its impacts, is the lack of knowledge of the earth’s climate sensitivity. Here, data are combined from the 1985–96 Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) with surface temperature change information and estimates of radiative forcing to diagnose the climate sensitivity. Importantly, the estimate is comple...
متن کاملRelationship of tropospheric stability to climate sensitivity and Earth's observed radiation budget.
Climate feedbacks generally become smaller in magnitude over time under CO2 forcing in coupled climate models, leading to an increase in the effective climate sensitivity, the estimated global-mean surface warming in steady state for doubled CO2 Here, we show that the evolution of climate feedbacks in models is consistent with the effect of a change in tropospheric stability, as has recently be...
متن کاملReexamining the Relationship between Climate Sensitivity and the Southern Hemisphere Radiation Budget in CMIP Models
Recent efforts to narrow the spread in equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) across global climate models have focused on identifying observationally based constraints, which are rooted in empirical correlations between ECS and biases in the models’ present-day climate. This study reexamines one such constraint identified from CMIP3 models: the linkage between ECS and net top-of-the-atmosphere ...
