Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite major advances in the observation and numerical simulation of the atmosphere, basic features of the Earth's climate remain poorly understood. Integrating the available data and computational resources to improve our understanding of the global circulation of the atmosphere remains a challenge. Theory must play a critical role in meeting this challenge. This book provides an authoritative summary of the state of the art on this front. Bringing together sixteen of the field's leading experts to address those aspects of the global circulation of the atmosphere most relevant to climate, the book brings the reader up to date on the key frontiers in general circulation theory-including the nonlinear and turbulent global-scale dynamics that determine fundamental aspects of the Earth's climate. While emphasizing theory, as expressed through relatively simple mathematical models, it also draws connections to simulations with comprehensive general circulation models. Topics include the dynamics of storm tracks, interactions between wave dynamics and the hydrological cycle, monsoons, tropical and extratropical dynamics and interactions, and the processes controlling atmospheric humidity. An essential resource for graduate students in atmospheric, ocean, and climate sciences and for researchers seeking an overview of the field, The Global Circulation of the Atmosphere sets the standard for future research in a science that stands at a critical juncture. With a foreword by Edward Lorenz, the book includes chapters by Christopher Bretherton; Kerry Emanuel; Isaac Held; David Neelin; Raymond Pierrehumbert, Hélène Brogniez, and Rémy Roca; Alan Plumb; Walter Robinson; Tapio Schneider; Richard Seager and David Battisti; Adam Sobel; Kyle Swanson; and Pablo Zurita-Gotor and Richard Lindzen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents recent developments in atmospheric sciences driven by numerical modeling which makes use of geospatial technologies and increasing computational power. It gathers examples of how geoinformatics supports meteorological, climatological and water-related studies. One of the most important features of geospatial technologies is that they provide methods and tools which may be utilized in real time or near real time in order to monitor and predict atmospheric processes. This is particularly crucial in areas where dynamics of atmospheric phenomena is considerable and causes difficulties in accurate forecasting. One of such areas is the transitional zone between oceanic and continental features of the mid-latitude climate. Good examples of investigations into the transitional zone come from Poland and its neighboring countries. The topical volume provides the reader with a selection of papers on physically-based and data-based modelling of weather-related phenomena over Poland. This main theme of the topical volume is extended to cover case studies on the use of geoinformatics in atmospheric studies in other regions at a range of spatial scales.

Download or read book Using an Idealized Climate Model to Elucidate Physical Mechanisms and Improve Model Representation of Extratropical Cloud Feedbacks written by Michelle Elizabeth Frazer and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances, the extratropical cloud feedback is at the heart of uncertainty and intermodel spread in climate sensitivity among comprehensive General Circulation Models (GCMs). Here, to shed light on the underlying mechanisms, we use an idealized GCM--the Held-Suarez dynamical core with the addition of passive water vapor and cloud tracers and full cloud microphysics--to cleanly decompose the effects of individual cloud processes.A set of process-level experiments are designed to elucidate the mechanisms of an increase in extratropical liquid water path (LWP) in mixed-phase clouds with warming: higher adiabatic cloud water content, weaker liquid-to-ice conversion through the Bergeron-Findeisen process, and faster melting of ice and snow to rain. Perturbed parameter experiments demonstrate a strong dependence of the LWP feedback on the climatological LWP and independence from the climatological susceptible ice and supercooled liquid fraction.To examine the broader physical controls of extratropical humidity and clouds, separate saturation adjustment and full cloud scheme controls are used to consider the strength of advection-condensation theory. It is found that sub-grid-scale relative humidity distribution assumed within the cloud macrophysics limits isentropic transport of tropical moisture to the polar troposphere. Also, within the model's explicit treatment of cloud microphysics, re-evaporation of hydrometeors moistens and increases clouds in the lower troposphere.To investigate the direct influence of dynamical changes on humidity and clouds, we explore the impacts of altered meridional temperature gradients. We show that predicted extratropical jet shifts with warming have little effect on shortwave cloud radiative effects because they mainly affect cloud fraction, not cloud thickness which is principally connected to absolute temperature change. Overall, the results substantiate the utility of such idealized models for elucidating cloud processes in a systematic manner and highlight key cloud processes to constrain.Additionally, a set of realistic experiments are designed in a comprehensive GCM to study geoengineering using stratospheric aerosols and compare efficacy and impacts of reflecting and absorbing aerosols (sulfate) versus only reflecting aerosols (calcite). We evaluate which regions are better or worse off with geoengineering in a 2xCO2 world in terms of various climate metrics and consider the policy implications.

Download or read book Cloud Microphysics and Surface Properties in Climate written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cloud optical thickness is determined from ground-based measurements of broadband incoming solar irradiance using a radiation model in which the cloud optical depth is adjusted until computed irradiance agrees with the measured value. From spectral measurements it would be feasible to determine both optical thickness and mean drop size, which apart from cloud structure and morphology, are the most important climatic parameters of clouds. A radiative convective model is used to study the sensitivity of climate to cloud liquid water amount and cloud drop size. This is illustrated in Figure 21.1 which shows that for medium thick clouds a 10 % increase in drop size yields a surface warming of 1.5°C, which is the same as that due to a doubling of carbon dioxide. For thick clouds, a 5% decrease in drop size is sufficient to offset the warming due to doubling of carbon dioxide. A radiative transfer model for the coupled atmosphere/sea ice/ocean system is used to study the partitioning of radiative energy between the three strata, and the potential for testing such a model in terms of planned experiments in the Arctic is discussed.
