Thermodynamics of climate change: generalized sensitivities
Using a recent theoretical approach, we study how global warming impacts the thermodynamics of the climate system by performing experiments with a simplified yet Earth-like climate model. The intensity of the Lorenz energy cycle, the Carnot efficiency, the material entropy production, and the degree of irreversibility of the system change monotonically with the CO2 concentration. Moreover, thes...
متن کاملNonlinearity of Land Carbon Sensitivities in Climate Change Simulations
In the climate-carbon cycle system, the terrestrial ecosystem feedback is significant. In studies on feedback analysis, the ecosystem feedback is divided into the sensitivity of carbon storage to atmospheric CO2 concentration (bL), and temperature change (gL). Although ecosystems include many nonlinear processes, the scenarioand time-dependency of bL and gL have not been explicitly discussed. T...
متن کاملClimate Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you dont understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it doesn't bother you any more. Global climate results from a thermodynamic interaction b...
متن کاملSensitivities of species compositions of the mixed forest in eastern Eurasian continent to climate change
Sensitivities of species compositions of the broadleaf–conifer mixed forest in eastern Eurasian continent to climate change were evaluated with three forest gap models, namely KOPIDE, NEWCOP, and ForClim. Testing sites are located on Changbai Mountain, the middle of the distribution range for the mixed forest. Six climate change scenarios characterizing increase in temperature and increase/decr...
