Preindustrial-to-present-day radiative forcing by tropospheric ozone from improved simulations with the GISS chemistry-climate GCM
Improved estimates of the radiative forcing from tropospheric ozone increases since the preindustrial have been calculated with the tropospheric chemistry model used at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) within the GISS general circulation model (GCM). The chemistry in this model has been expanded to include simplified representations of peroxyacetylnitrates and non-methane hydrocar...
متن کاملClimate response to the increase in tropospheric ozone since preindustrial times:
The reliance on global mean radiative forcing as an index of climate change is questionable for highly inhomogeneous forcing agents such as tropospheric ozone or aerosols. Using a general circulation model, we have carried out a pair of equilibrium climate simulations with previously calculated present-day and preindustrial ozone distributions. We show that the radiative forcing of 0.49 W m-2 d...
متن کاملClimate response to the increase in tropospheric ozone since preindustrial times: A comparison between ozone and equivalent CO2 forcings
[1] We examine the characteristics of the climate response to anthropogenic changes in tropospheric ozone. Using a general circulation model, we have carried out a pair of equilibrium climate simulations with realistic present-day and preindustrial ozone distributions. We find that the instantaneous radiative forcing of 0.49 W m 2 due to the increase in tropospheric ozone since preindustrial ti...
متن کاملUncertainty in preindustrial abundance of tropospheric ozone: Implications for radiative forcing calculations
Recent model calculations of the global mean radiative forcing from tropospheric ozone since preindustrial times fall in a relatively narrow range, from 0.3 to 0.5 W m . These calculations use preindustrial ozone elds that overestimate observations available from the turn of the nineteenth century. Although there may be calibration problems with the observations, uncertainties in model estimate...
متن کاملEvaluation of ACCMIP outgoing longwave radiation from tropospheric ozone using TES satellite observations
We use simultaneous observations of tropospheric ozone and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) sensitivity to tropospheric ozone from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) to evaluate model tropospheric ozone and its effect on OLR simulated by a suite of chemistry-climate models that participated in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP). The ensemble ...
