متن کاملAtmospheric dynamics feedback: concept, simulations and climate
The regional climate response to radiative forcing is largely controlled by changes in the atmospheric circulation. It has also been suggested that global climate sensitivity depends on the circulation response, an effect we call the “atmospheric dynamics feedback”. Using a technique to isolate the effect of changes in atmospheric circulation on top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiation, we calculate t...
متن کاملBiotic pump of atmospheric moisture as driver of the hydrological cycle on land
In this paper the basic geophysical and ecological principles are jointly analyzed that allow the landmasses of Earth to remain moistened sufficiently for terrestrial life to be possible. 1. Under gravity, land inevitably loses water to the ocean. To keep land moistened, the gravitational water runoff must be continuously compensated by the atmospheric ocean-to-land moisture transport. Using da...
متن کاملClimate change, biotic interactions and ecosystem services.
Climate change is real. The wrangling debates are over, and we now need to move onto a predictive ecology that will allow managers of landscapes and policy makers to adapt to the likely changes in biodiversity over the coming decades. There is ample evidence that ecological responses are already occurring at the individual species (population) level. The challenge is how to synthesize the growi...
