Investigating climate feedbacks across forcing magnitudes and time scales using the radiative kernel technique

Creator:

Jonko, Alexandra

Abstract:

Radiative feedbacks associated with changes in water vapor, temperature, surface albedo and clouds remain a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of climate's response to anthropogenic forcing. In this dissertation climate model data is used to investigate variations in feedbacks that result from changing CO₂ forcing and the time...

Comparison of radiative feedback variability over multiple time scales in climate model and reanalysis data

Creator:

Dalton, Meghan M.

Abstract:

In a steady state, the Earth's absorbed solar radiation (ASR) balances the outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA). In response to a radiative forcing, that is, an external perturbation to the top of the atmosphere energy balance, the Earth's climate system adjusts until reaching a...
