Most of the last 100,000 years or longer has been characterized by large, abrupt, regional-to-global climate changes. Agriculture and industry have developed during anomalously stable climatic conditions. New, high-resolution analyses of sediment cores using multiproxy and physically based transfer functions allow increasingly confident ...

Global temperature change [PDF]
Global surface temperature has increased ≈0.2°C per decade in the past 30 years, similar to the warming rate predicted in the 1980s in initial global climate model simulations with transient greenhouse gas changes. Warming is larger in the Western Equatorial Pacific than in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific over the past century, and we suggest that the ...

GCAM v5.1: representing the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems [PDF]
This paper describes GCAM v5.1, an open source model that represents the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems. GCAM is a market equilibrium model, is global in scope, and operates from 1990 to 2100 in 5-year time steps.

Global Change Observation Missions [PDF]
ADEOS II was launched on Dec, 2002. However, after about 10 months operation, it has lost most of its power due to the solar paddle failure. As a follow on of ADEOS II mission, JAXA is now planning GCOM mission which is composed of a series of satellites. They are now tentatively called GCOM-W and GCOM-C satellites.

In order to understand the effect of phytotoxic tropospheric ozone (O3) on terrestrial vegetation, we quantified the impact of current O3 concentration ([O3]) on net ecosystem production (NEP) when compared to the conditions of the pre-industrial era. We

More frequent intense and long-lived storms dominate the springtime trend in central US rainfall
The central United States has exhibited increased extreme precipitation. Here, using satellite, radar, and rain-gauge data, Feng et al. show that springtime total and extreme rainfall trends are linked to increased intensity and frequency of long-lived ...
