Role of oceanic heat transport processes in CO₂-induced warming : analysis of simulations by the OSU coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model

Creator:

Jiang, Xingjian

Abstract:

The OSU global coupled atmosphere/ocean general circulation model (A/O GCM) has been used to simulate the present (lxCO₂) climate and to investigate a CO₂-induced (2xCO₂) climate change. Previous analysis of the lxCO₂ simulation showed distinct errors in the simulated sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice which were attributed primarily...

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...
