Simulating sub-Milankovitch climate variations associated with vegetation dynamics
Climate variability at sub-Milankovitch periods (between 2 and 15 kyr) is studied in a set of transient simulations with a coupled atmosphere/ocean/vegetation model of intermediate complexity (CLIMBER-2). Focus is on the region influenced by the African and Asian summer monsoon. Pronounced variations at periods of about 10 kyr (Asia and Africa) and about 5 kyr (Asia) are found in the monsoonal ...
متن کاملIn defense of Milankovitch
[1] The Milankovitch hypothesis is widely held to be one of the cornerstones of climate science. Surprisingly, the hypothesis remains not clearly defined despite an extensive body of research on the link between global ice volume and insolation changes arising from variations in the Earth’s orbit. In this paper, a specific hypothesis is formulated. Basic physical arguments are used to show that...
متن کاملDiurnal Variations in the Community Climate System Model
Diurnal (or sub-daily) variations are large in many surface and atmospheric fields such as solar radiation, surface latent and sensible heat fluxes, surface temperature and winds, atmospheric convection, and precipitation. These diurnal variations are especially important in air-land and air-sea interactions, which are highly non-linear and thus can not be resolved using daily mean values. Curr...
متن کاملA Paleoclimate Model of Ice-Albedo Feedback Forced by Variations in Earth's Orbit
For millions of years, glaciers have been a permanent feature on Earth’s surface. The climate has cycled through relatively warm periods, such as we are experiencing now with glaciers confined mostly to Antarctica and Greenland, to relatively cold periods with vast ice sheets extending over the continents. The Sun provides the energy powering the Earth’s weather and climate. The incoming solar ...
متن کاملDetection of long term modulation orbital cycles in the sea level oscillations using clean algorithm of spectral analysis
The need for a unified astronomical theory of sea-level changes and associated climatic variations motivates the search for Milankovitch eccentricity rhythms in the global sea level variations. The available latest sea level record exhibits long term trend with superimposed higher order frequency oscillations. A new powerful spectral technique based on the one dimensional clean deconvolution al...
