Strong carbon cycle feedbacks in a climate model with interactive CO2 and sulphate aerosols [PDF]
Carbon cycle feedbacks are a significant source of uncertainty in climate change projections, with the potential for strong positive feedbacks to accelerate the rate of anthropogenic global warming during the 21st century.

Arctic amplification of climate change: a review of underlying mechanisms
Arctic amplification (AA)—referring to the enhancement of near-surface air temperature change over the Arctic relative to lower latitudes—is a prominent feature of climate change with important impacts on human and natural systems.

How Are Feedbacks Represented in Land Models?
Land systems are characterised by many feedbacks that can result in complex system behaviour. We defined feedbacks as the two-way influences between the land use system and a related system (e.g., climate, soils and markets), both of which are ...

Assessing 20th century climate-vegetation feedbacks of land-use change and natural vegetation dynamics in a fully coupled vegetation-climate model [PDF]
This study describes the coupling of the dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM), Lund–Potsdam–Jena Model for managed land (LPJmL), with the general circulation model (GCM), Simplified Parameterizations primitivE Equation DYnamics model (SPEEDY), to study

Constraining net long-term climate feedback from satellite-observed internal variability possible by the mid-2030s [PDF]
Observing climate feedbacks to long-term global warming, which are crucial climate regulators, is not feasible within the observational record. However, linking them to top-of-the-atmosphere flux variations in response to natural surface temperature ...

Climate-driven chemistry and aerosol feedbacks in CMIP6 Earth system models [PDF]
Feedbacks play a fundamental role in determining the magnitude of the response of the climate system to external forcing, such as from anthropogenic emissions.

We show that the seasonal cycles of clouds over the mid‐latitude oceans in the Northern Hemisphere are predictors of the responses of clouds to increasing sea‐surface temperatures globally.

A small climate-amplifying effect of climate-carbon cycle feedback [PDF]
AbstractThe climate-carbon cycle feedback is one of the most important climate-amplifying feedbacks of the Earth system, and is quantified as a function of carbon-concentration feedback parameter (β) and carbon-climate feedback parameter (γ). However, the global climate-amplifying effect from this feedback loop (determined by the gain factor, g) has ...

“Simpson's Law” and the Spectral Cancellation of Climate Feedbacks [PDF]
Abstract We spectrally resolve the conventional clear‐sky temperature and water vapor feedbacks in an idealized single‐column framework, and show that the well‐known partial compensation of these feedbacks is actually due to an almost perfect cancellation of the spectral feedbacks at wavenumbers where H

Solid Earth change and the evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by a combination of climate forcing and non-climatic feedbacks. In this review, the authors focus on feedbacks between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the solid Earth, and the role of these feedbacks in ...
