ESD Reviews: Climate feedbacks in the Earth system and prospects for their evaluation [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics, 2019
Earth system models (ESMs) are key tools for providing climate projections under different scenarios of human-induced forcing. ESMs include a large number of additional processes and feedbacks such as biogeochemical cycles that traditional physical ...

Late Quaternary vegetation-climate feedbacks [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2009
Feedbacks between vegetation and other components of the climate system are discussed with respect to their influence on climate dynamics during the late Quaternary, i.e., the last glacial-interglacial cycles.

The magnitudes and timescales of global mean surface temperature feedbacks in climate models [PDF]

, 2011
Because of the fundamental role feedbacks play in determining the response of surface temperature to perturbations in radiative forcing, it is important we understand the dynamic characteristics of these feedbacks.

Deforestation-induced runoff changes dominated by forest-climate feedbacks. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Large-scale deforestation alters water availability through its direct effect on runoff generation and indirect effect through forest-climate feedbacks. However, these direct and indirect effects and their spatial variations are difficult to separate and

Vegetation-climate feedbacks across scales. [PDF]

Ann N Y Acad Sci
Abstract Vegetation is often viewed as a consequence of long‐term climate conditions. However, vegetation itself plays a fundamental role in shaping Earth's climate by regulating the energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles across terrestrial landscapes.

A Global Methane Observation System to Reduce Uncertainty for Anthropogenic and Natural Sources and Sinks for Detecting and Attributing Climate Feedbacks. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Conceptual illustration of a Global Ecosystem Methane Observing System (GEM‐OS) integrating satellites, aircraft, atmospheric networks, and ecosystem measurements to quantify methane emissions from anthropogenic and natural sources. The multi‐scale observing framework improves source attribution, reduces uncertainty in regional methane budgets, and ...

Effects of solar UV radiation and climate change on biogeochemical cycling: interactions and feedbacks [PDF]

, 2011
Solar UV radiation, climate and other drivers of global change are undergoing significant changes and models forecast that these changes will continue for the remainder of this century.

Atmospheric chemistry‐climate feedbacks [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010
We extend the theory of climate feedbacks to include atmospheric chemistry. A change in temperature caused by a radiative forcing will include, in general, a contribution from the chemical change that is fed back into the climate system; likewise, the change in atmospheric burdens caused by a chemical forcing will include a contribution from the ...

Quantifying zonal patterns of climate feedbacks and their role in polar amplification [PDF]

, 2011
The significant climate warming seen over the 20th century has been largely attributed to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Spatial patterns of likely future warming are dependent on patterns of climate feedback, but current understanding of ...

Robustness of Gaian feedbacks to climate perturbations [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACT The Gaia hypothesis postulates that life regulates its environment to be favorable for its own survival. Most planets experience numerous perturbations throughout their lifetimes such as asteroid impacts, volcanism, and the evolution of their host star’s luminosity. For the Gaia hypothesis to be viable, life must be able to keep
