Evaluation of Climate Models [PDF]
Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of biogeochemical cycles important to climate change. These models allow for policy-relevant calculations such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compatible with a specified climate ...

An improved representation of aerosol in the ECMWF IFS-COMPO 49R1 through the integration of EQSAM4Climv12 – a first attempt at simulating aerosol acidity [PDF]
The atmospheric composition forecasting system used to produce the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) forecasts of global aerosol and trace gas distributions, the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS-COMPO), undergoes periodic upgrades.

A spatial evaluation of high-resolution wind fields from empirical and dynamical modeling in hilly and mountainous terrain [PDF]
Empirical high-resolution surface wind fields, automatically generated by a weather diagnostic application, the WegenerNet Wind Product Generator (WPG), were intercompared with wind field analysis data from the Integrated Nowcasting through Comprehensive

Climate Model Intercomparison [PDF]
Despite some climate “skeptics” over global warming and climate change due to human influence, it is safe to say that scientific consensus has been achieved and the majority of the public believes ...

Identifying the regional emergence of climate patterns in the ARISE-SAI-1.5 simulations
Stratospheric aerosol injection is a proposed form of solar climate invention (SCI) that could potentially reduce the amount of future warming from externally-forced climate change. However, more research is needed, as there are significant uncertainties

Long-term latitudinal effects of precipitation change in global monsoon regions
Global paleomonsoon precipitation evolution is confined to asynchronous responses to global monsoons to shared forcings, including summer insolation, sea surface temperature, atmospheric circulation coupling, and ocean circulation.

Ten new insights in climate science 2020 – a horizon scan
Non-technical summary We summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding of Earth's sensitivity to carbon dioxide, finds that permafrost thaw could release more

In this study, we show that changes in the 250 hPa vorticity cut-off low (COL) activity may possibly be driven by sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the tropical Pacific.

Sub-shelf melt pattern and ice sheet mass loss governed by meltwater flow below ice shelves [PDF]
Ocean-induced sub-shelf melt is one of the main drivers of Antarctic mass loss. Capturing it in ice sheet models is typically done by using parameterisations that compute sub-shelf melt rates based on local thermal forcing.

Vegetation Effects on Air Pollution: A Comprehensive Assessment for Two Italian Cities
The role of urban vegetation in urban air quality is usually assessed by considering only the pollutant removal capacity of the plants. This study aims to show, for the first time, the effects of vegetation on air pollutant concentrations through its ...
