The role of prior assumptions in carbon budget calculations [PDF]
Cumulative emissions budgets and net-zero emission target dates are often used to frame climate negotiations (Frame et al., 2014; Millar et al., 2016; Van Vuuren et al., 2016; Rogelj et al., 2015b; Matthews et al., 2012). However, their utility for near-

Hydrological and biogeochemical constraints on terrestrial carbon cycle feedbacks
The feedbacks between climate, atmospheric CO _2 concentration and the terrestrial carbon cycle are a major source of uncertainty in future climate projections with Earth systems models.

From single storms to large-scale waves: a multi-year kilometer-scale global simulation [PDF]
Global kilometer-scale (km-scale) weather and climate models offer new opportunities to unify numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate modeling by explicitly simulating convection and mesoscale circulations globally within a single modeling ...

The global aerosol–climate model ECHAM6.3–HAM2.3 – Part 2: Cloud evaluation, aerosol radiative forcing, and climate sensitivity [PDF]
The global aerosol–climate model ECHAM6.3–HAM2.3 (E63H23) as well as the previous model versions ECHAM5.5–HAM2.0 (E55H20) and ECHAM6.1–HAM2.2 (E61H22) are evaluated using global observational datasets for clouds and precipitation.

Climate change and climate modeling
In long‐established fields like fluid mechanics or quantum theory, the contents of introductory textbooks are mostly predictable: The basics are covered in more or less the same order, and while cutting‐edge research occasionally gets a look‐in (depending on the inclinations of the authors), the contents are far more frequently reworkings of previous ...

An evaluation of the regional distribution and wet deposition of secondary inorganic aerosols and their gaseous precursors in IFS-COMPO preparatory to cycle 49R1 [PDF]
Secondary Inorganic Aerosol (SIA) makes up a considerable fraction of the total particulate matter exposure and, thus, is an important product from any forecasting system of atmospheric composition and air quality.

Deglacial variability of South China hydroclimate heavily contributed by autumn rainfall
Deglacial hydroclimate in South China is perennially debated. New modeling experiments reveal that regional hydroclimate was strongly influenced by rainfall during the transition between the East Asian summer monsoon and winter monsoon, forced by climate

Climate persistence and memory
The autocorrelation function (ACF) and its relationship to fluctuation analysis (FA) are discussed, based on the reanalysis monthly mean geopotential height at 500 hPa from ECMWF (ERA-20C).

Reactive halogens increase the global methane lifetime and radiative forcing in the 21st century
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and previous studies focus on its sources with less attention on the loss. Here the authors show that reactive halogen species, not considered in climate projections, significantly reduces the methane loss, increasing

The impact of the mesh size and microphysics scheme on the representation of mid-level clouds in the ICON model in hilly and complex terrain [PDF]
The rise in computational power in recent years has enabled research and national weather services to conduct high-resolution simulations down to the kilometric (Δx=𝒪(1 km)) and even to hectometric (Δx=𝒪(100 m)) scales for both weather and climate ...
