Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Projections for Boston [PDF]
While the broad outlines of how climate change would impact Boston have been known for some time, it is only recently that we have developed a more definitive understanding of what lies ahead.

Enhanced Decadal Variance in Nordic Seas With AMOC Weakening in CESM
Abstract The subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) exhibits rapid, decadal‐scale cooling events in several climate model projections, but the mechanisms behind this variability, particularly the role of a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), remain uncertain.

Transpiration Changes With Soil Warming: Insights From a Mechanistic Model
Abstract Transpiration (T) connects water, energy, and carbon cycles within ecosystems. While T has often been reported to increase with soil warming, underlying reasons remain poorly understood. Here, using a mechanistic ecohydrological model, T&C‐BG, we simulated T responses to soil warming at 30 sites spanning various biomes and climates. Consistent

Response of Ocean Mesoscale Coherent Eddies to Global Warming
Abstract Mesoscale vertically coherent ocean eddies—defined here as eddies maintaining rotational coherence across depth—play a fundamental role in Earth's climate system by redistributing heat, salt, and other tracers. Yet it remains unclear how these eddies will respond to global warming.

On the Utility of the Transient Climate Response
Abstract The Transient Climate Response (TCR) is a metric of climate sensitivity relevant to present‐day climate change, but has been less studied than the Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity. Here, we emphasize the utility of the TCR by demonstrating that temperature and radiative forcing in transient scenarios are linearly related, where the ...

Can Large‐Scale Clustering of Tropical Precipitation Be Used to Constrain Climate Sensitivity?
Abstract The spatial organization of deep convection in tropical regions is posited to play an important role in determining characteristics of the tropical climate such as the humidity distribution and cloudiness and may therefore be an important control on climate feedbacks. This study analyzes one aspect of convective organization, the clustering of

Projection of Future Climatic Variables based on CMIP5 and CMIP6 Models in the Gedarchay Catchment (West Azarbaijan) [PDF]
Extended Abstract Background: The primary issue facing the Earth in this century is the increase in global temperatures and changes in climate variables due to industrialization and rising greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate

How tropical Pacific surface cooling contributed to accelerated sea ice melt from 2007 to 2012 as ice is thinned by anthropogenic forcing [PDF]
Over the past 40 years the Arctic sea ice minimum in September has declined. The period between 2007 and 2012 showed accelerated melt contributed to the record minima of 2007 and 2012.

Abstract Aerosol particles play a crucial role in the global climate by absorbing and scattering radiation and influencing cloud properties. This study explores the role of resolved convection on precipitation and subsequent removal by wet deposition of aerosol in the Community Earth System Model (CESM2.1.0) by comparing two configurations with ...

Projected Changes of Mesoscale Eddy Activity in Subantarctic Mode Water Formation Regions
Abstract Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) plays a vital role in the uptake of heat and carbon, thereby regulating global climate. Mesoscale eddies affect mode‐water subduction and transport in the Southern Ocean. However, it remains unclear how SAMW‐related eddy activity will evolve under anthropogenic warming, because most state‐of‐the‐art climate ...
