Lessons on Climate Sensitivity From Past Climate Changes [PDF]

Current Climate Change Reports, 2016
Over the last decade, our understanding of climate sensitivity has improved considerably. The climate system shows variability on many timescales, is subject to non-stationary forcing and it is most likely out of equilibrium with the changes in the radiative forcing.

Is climate sensitivity related to dynamical sensitivity? [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2016
AbstractThe atmospheric response to increasing CO2 concentrations is often described in terms of the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS). Yet the response to CO2 forcing in global climate models is not limited to an increase in global‐mean surface temperature: for example, the midlatitude jets shift poleward, the Hadley circulation expands, and the ...

Agricultural outputs and structure adjustments: Empirical evidence based on high-impact weather

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Changes in meteorological conditions affect crop output and planting structure. Based on county-level data of agricultural statistics and weather information in Guangdong province from 1992 to 2018, this paper uses a panel regression model to examine the

Thermodynamics of climate change: generalized sensitivities [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2010
Abstract. Using a recent theoretical approach, we study how the impact of global warming of the thermodynamics of the climate system by performing experiments with a simplified yet Earth-like climate model. In addition to the globally averaged surface temperature, the intensity of the Lorenz energy cycle, the Carnot efficiency, the material entropy ...

Geographic patterns of the climate sensitivity of lakes [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 2019
AbstractClimate change is a well‐recognized threat to lake ecosystems and, although there likely exists geographic variation in the sensitivity of lakes to climate, broad‐scale, long‐term studies are needed to understand this variation. Further, the potential mediating role of local to regional ecological context on these responses is not well ...

Bayesian weighting of climate models based on climate sensitivity [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
AbstractUsing climate model ensembles containing members that exhibit very high climate sensitivities to increasing CO2concentrations can result in biased projections. Various methods have been proposed to ameliorate this ‘hot model’ problem, such as model emulators or model culling.

Climate variability from annual to multi-decadal timescales in a two-layer stochastic energy balance model: analytic solutions and implications for general circulation models

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2019
A low-order stochastically forced two-layer global energy balance model (EBM) admitting an analytical solution is developed for studying natural inter-annual, decadal and multi-decadal climate variability, and ultimately to better understand forced ...

The Dependence of Climate Sensitivity on the Meridional Distribution of Radiative Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
This study investigates how climate sensitivity depends upon the spatial pattern of radiative forcing. Sensitivity experiments using a coupled ocean‐atmosphere model were conducted by adding anomalous incoming solar radiation over the entire globe ...

Divergent Climate Sensitivities of the Alpine Grasslands to Early Growing Season Precipitation on the Tibetan Plateau

Remote Sensing, 2022
Warming is expected to intensify hydrological processes and reshape precipitation regimes, which is closely related to water availability for terrestrial ecosystems.

Fast‐Forward to Perturbed Equilibrium Climate

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
The equilibrium climate sensitivity, that is, the global‐mean surface‐air temperature change in response to a doubling of the carbon dioxide concentration is a widely used metric in climate change studies.
