Will Extratropical Storms Intensify in a Warmer Climate?
Extratropical cyclones and how they may change in a warmer climate have been investigated in detail with a high-resolution version of the ECHAM5 global climate model. A spectral resolution of T213 (63 km) is used for two 32-yr periods at the end of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and integrated for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) A1B scenario. Extremes of pressure,...
متن کاملCLIMATE CHANGE: Will Warmer Soil Be as Fertile?
Thick smoke routinely cloaks Southern California hills, highways, and neighborhoods during this region’s autumn wildfire season, with drought contributing to worse fires than usual in the past two years. Wildfire emissions generate larger aerosols than those produced by vehicles—up to 0.4 micrometers (μm) in diameter compared with less than 0.15 μm—according to a new study led by Constantinos S...
متن کاملClimate jostlings intensify
Angela Merkel, freshly re-elected as German chancellor, and thus the elected leader with the longest political life-expectancy, lost no time in making clear who’s really in charge of the European Union these days. First she met up with French president Nicolas Sarkozy to drive the last nails into the crumbling coffin of Tony Blair’s ambition to become EU ‘president’. Without even mentioning Bla...
متن کاملEconomic costs of extratropical storms under climate change: An application of FUND
Extratropical cyclones have attracted some attention in climate policy circles as a possible significant damage factor of climate change. This study conducts an assessment of economic impacts of increased storm activities under climate change with the integrated assessment model FUND 3.4. In the base case, the direct economic damage of enhanced storms due to climate change amounts to $2.4 billi...
متن کاملRelative humidity changes in a warmer climate
[1] Key climate feedback due to water vapor and clouds rest largely on how relative humidity R changes in a warmer climate, yet this has not been extensively analyzed in models. General circulation models (GCMs) from the CMIP3 archive and several higher‐ resolution atmospheric GCMs examined here generally predict a characteristic pattern of R trend with global temperature that has been reported...
