Parameterization of cloud droplet formation in global climate models
An aerosol activation parameterization has been developed, based on a generalized representation of aerosol size and composition within the framework of an ascending adiabatic parcel; this allows for parameterizing the activation of chemically complex aerosol with arbitrary size distribution and mixing state. The new parameterization introduces the concept of “population splitting”, in which th...
متن کاملSelecting global climate models for regional climate change studies.
Regional or local climate change modeling studies currently require starting with a global climate model, then downscaling to the region of interest. How should global models be chosen for such studies, and what effect do such choices have? This question is addressed in the context of a regional climate detection and attribution (D&A) study of January-February-March (JFM) temperature over the w...
متن کاملGlobal Climate Models and Climate Data: a User Guide for Economists
This paper provides an introduction to climate data sets, climate models, and the output they provide. We identify five major issues related to the use of gridded historical weather products and climate model output: Spatially specific prediction error due to the coarse resolution of climate model output; spatially varying correlations between different weather indicators; differences in cross ...
متن کاملGlobal Space - Time Models for Climate Ensembles
Global climate models aim to reproduce physical processes on a global scale and predict quantities such as temperature given some forcing inputs. We consider climate ensembles made of collections of such runs with different initial conditions and forcing scenarios. The purpose of this work is to show how the simulated temperatures in the ensemble can be reproduced (emulated) with a global space...
متن کاملObservations Necessary for Useful Global Climate Models
Observational facts about our "inner" planet and potentially those about other planets should force realism and civility into the political and media discussions about alleged human-caused global warming. Climate change assumptions rather than facts, and computer modeling rather than real-world observations, underpin political attempts to combat global warming. The science behind this massive i...
