[1] Aerosol indirect effects (AIE) are a principal source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The present study investigates the equilibrium response of the climate system to present‐day and future AIE using the general circulation model (GCM), Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) III. A diagnostic formulation correlating cloud droplet number concentration (Nc) with concentratio...

The ability of five, global coupled climate models to simulate important atmospheric circulation characteristics in the Southern Hemisphere for the period 1960–1999 is assessed. The circulation features examined are the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM), the semi-annual oscillation (SAO) and the quasi-stationary zonal wave 3 (ZW3). The models assessed are the National Center for Atmospheri...

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale meteorological model is used to dynamically downscale data from the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) atmospheric general circulation (GCM) CMIP5 version (Model E2-R) over Europe at a 0.25° grid size resolution, period of 1951 2010. configuration single nested with resolutions 0.75° 0.25°. Two 30-year datasets are produced periods 19...

[1] Carbon (C) in tropical peatlands over Southeast Asia and Amazonia, if released to the atmosphere, can substantially increase the growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Over Southeast Asia, where the most extensive tropical peatlands in the world occur, 11 climate models for the IPCC Fourth Assessment show an overall decrease of rainfall in future dry seasons. Over Amazonia, future rainf...

In this paper we consider inference using multivariate data that are spatially misaligned i e involving variables typically counts or rates which are aggregated over di ering sets of regional boundaries Geographic information systems GISs enable the simultaneous display of such data sets but their current capabilities are essentially only descriptive not inferential We describe a hierarchical m...

Abstract. The paper constitutes Part 2 of a study performing first systematic inter-model comparison the atmospheric responses to stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) at various single latitudes in tropics, as simulated by three state-of-the-art Earth system models – CESM2-WACCM6, UKESM1.0, and GISS-E2.1-G. Building on 1 (Visioni et al., 2023) we demonstrate role biases climatological circulat...

The location-aware Internet is inspiring intensive work addressing the automated assembly of three-dimensional models of urban spaces with their buildings, circulation spaces, vegetation, ...

In the power industry, sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) as an insulating gas is widely used in gas-insulated switchgears (GISs). Owing to latent inner insulation defects of GIS, various SF decompositions are generated process partial superheating and discharge (PD). The decomposition components concentrations different under PD types. A number sensors were reported for detection these decompositions...

This paper attempts to define a name for an area of science and technology that encompasses the acquisition, processing application spatial data in mining industry. A comparative study evolution exchange methods between Geographic Information Systems (GISs) General Mining Planning (GMP) software is carried out problem it. Subsequent modifications acronym GIS towards specialisation its are then ...
