Climate-modelling studies of the faint young Sun problem and of the relation between the AMOC and a regional sea-level gradient
نویسنده
چکیده
Understanding the origin and different phases of the development of the Earth has long been a motivation for fundamental research in the geosciences. The climate of the Archean Eon (3.8 – 2.5 billion years ago), the time period in which life emerged, is especially puzzling: In a world very different from today, when the planet was spinning faster about its own axis and had a much smaller continental fraction in its early stages, the Sun was up to 25% less luminous however, there is strong evidence for liquid surface waters.

Parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using PRECIS regionalclimate modeling system in Iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°C in latitude and longitude under SRESA2 and B2 scenarios. The dataset was based on HadAM3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. Theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...

Human-induced climate change could cause global sea-level rise. Through the dynamic adjustment of the sea surface in response to a possible slowdown of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation1,2, a warming climate could also affect regional sea levels, especially in the North Atlantic region3, leading to high vulnerability for low-lying Florida and western Europe4–6. Here we analyse cli...
متن کاملInvestigation of Geostrophic and Ekman Surface Current Using Satellite Altimetry Observations and Surface Wind in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
The rise of satellite altimetry is a revolution in the ocean sciences. Due to its global coverage and its high resolution, altimetry classically outperforms in situ water level measurement. Ekman and geostrophic currents are large parts of the ocean’s current, playing a vital role in global climate variations. According to the classic oceanography, Ekman and geostrophic currents can be calculat...
