Interactive comment on “Towards a better representation of the solar cycle in general circulation models” by K. M. Nissen et al
Reply to Referee #4: General comments: The Referee suggests a comparison of the ECHAM5-MESSy simulations using the FUBRad scheme with other GCM or CCM simulations. This is however beyond the scope of this paper. A radiation code intercomparison is going to be performed within the CCMVal activity. FUBRad will participate in this intercomparison. The Referee is right when stating that other GCMs/...
متن کاملSOLAR AND PLANETARY OSCILLATION CONTROL ON CLIMATE CHANGE: Hind-cast, Forecast and a Comparison with the CMIP5 GCMs
Global surface temperature records (e.g. HadCRUT4) since 1850 are characterized by climatic oscillations synchronous with specific solar, planetary and lunar harmonics superimposed on a background warming modulation. The latter is related to a long millennial solar oscillation and to changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere (e.g. aerosol and greenhouse gases). However, current gene...
متن کاملSolar Latitudinal Distribution of Solar Flares around the Sun and Their Association with Forbush Decreases during the Period of 1986 to 2003
Solar flare events of high importance were utilised to study solar latitudinal frequency distribution of the solar flares in northern and southern hemisphere for the solar cycle 22 to recent solar cycle 23. A statistical analysis was performed to obtain their relationship with sudden storm commencement (SSCs) and Forbush decrease events (Fd) of cosmic ray intensity. An 11-year cyclic variation ...
متن کاملThe Tropical Eastern Pacific Seasonal Cycle: Assessment of Errors and Mechanisms in IPCC AR4 Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere General Circulation
Warmer SST and more rain in the Northern Hemisphere are observed year-round in the tropical eastern Pacific with southerly wind crossing the equator toward the atmospheric heating. The southerlies are minimal during boreal spring, when two precipitation maxima straddle the equator. Fourteen atmosphere– ocean coupled GCMs from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3) and one coupled reg...
متن کاملDeveloping off-design model of Yazd integrated solar combined cycle for analyzing environmental benefits of using solar energy instead of supplementary firing
An integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) is analyzed at "off-design" operating conditions. Using the principles of thermodynamics heat and mass transfer a computer code is developed in FORTRAN programming language to simulate the system’s hourly performance under steady state conditions. Three scenarios are considered for the study. In the first one, only the combined cycle (CC) is studied. In...
