Stratospheric Processes and Their Role in Climate

چکیده
The 17th Session of the SPARC Scientific Steering Group (SSG) was held at the University of Kyoto, hosted by SSG member Professor Masato Shiotani. This year the SPARC SSG meeting was held concurrently with the IGAC SSC meeting in the same location. These meetings were immediately preceded by a local workshop, jointly sponsored by the Japanese SPARC and IGAC communities. This workshop was well attended and featured invited and contributed talks from the Japanese and international SPARC and IGAC communities as well as an excellent poster session.

متن کاملAssessing And UnderstAnding the impAct of strAtospheric dynAmics And VAriAbility on the eArth system
O bservational and modeling studies over the past two decades have fundamentally changed our understanding of the stratosphere’s role in surface weather and climate. Interactions between the stratosphere and other components of the Earth system, from the troposphere to the deep ocean, possibly even the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, reveal coupling across a wide range of spatial and te...
متن کاملThe contribution of ozone to future stratospheric temperature trends
The projected recovery of ozone from the effects of ozone depleting substances this century will modulate the stratospheric cooling due to CO2, thereby affecting the detection and attribution of stratospheric temperature trends. Here the impact of future ozone changes on stratospheric temperatures is quantified for three representative concentration pathways (RCPs) using simulations from the Fi...
متن کاملReduction of Climate Sensitivity to Solar Forcing due to Stratospheric Ozone Feedback
An accurate assessment of the role of solar variability is a key step toward a proper quantification of natural and anthropogenic climate change. To this end, climate models have been extensively used to quantify the solar contribution to climate variability. However, owing to the large computational cost, the bulk of modeling studies to date have been performed without interactive stratospheri...

T he IPRC played host to the 9th annual meeting of the Scientific Steering Group (SSG) of the SPARC (Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate) program last December. SPARC is one of the six main initiatives of the World Climate Research Programme and focuses on understanding and modeling the circulation and chemistry of the stratosphere, and how these influence and are influenced by tr...
متن کاملA large ozone-circulation feedback and its implications for global warming assessments
State-of-the-art climate models now include more climate processes which are simulated at higher spatial resolution than ever1. Nevertheless, some processes, such as atmospheric chemical feedbacks, are still computationally expensive and are often ignored in climate simulations1,2. Here we present evidence that how stratospheric ozone is represented in climate models can have a first order impa...
