Reducing Climatology Bias in an Ocean–Atmosphere CGCM with Improved Coupling Physics [PDF]
Abstract The cold tongue in the tropical Pacific extends too far west in most current ocean–atmosphere coupled GCMs (CGCMs). This bias also exists in the relatively high-resolution SINTEX-F CGCM despite its remarkable performance of simulating ENSO variations.

Tropical Atlantic Mixed Layer Buoyancy Seasonality: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physical Processes Contributions [PDF]
This study investigates the physical processes controlling the mixed layer buoyancy using a regional configuration of an ocean general circulation model. Processes are quantified by using a linearized equation of state, a mixed-layer heat, and a salt budget. Model results correctly reproduce the observed seasonal near-surface density tendencies.

Sources of uncertainties in modelling black carbon at the global scale [PDF]
Our understanding of the global black carbon (BC) cycle is essentially qualitative due to uncertainties in our knowledge of its properties. This work investigates two source of uncertainties in modelling black carbon: those due to the use of different ...

Biogeochemistry and Physics of the Southern Ocean-Atmosphere System Explored With Data Science [PDF]
Abstract. The Southern Ocean is a critical component of Earth’s climate system, but its remoteness makes it challenging to develop a holistic understanding of its processes from the small to the large scale. As a result, our knowledge of this vast region remains largely incomplete.

Global and regional emissions estimates for N2O [PDF]
We present a comprehensive estimate of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions using observations and models from 1995 to 2008. High-frequency records of tropospheric N2O are available from measurements at Cape Grim, Tasmania; Cape Matatula, American Samoa; Ragged

On the role of physical modelling in atmospheric and oceanic forecast [PDF]
We discuss how physical modelling can be used to reproduce atmospheric or oceanic flows in the laboratory. The similarity conditions for the effects of density stratification and Earth rotation are first presented. Then examples of results obtained on the large ‘Coriolis’ platform in Grenoble are described.

Inverse modeling of European CH4 emissions: sensitivity to the observational network
Inverse modeling is widely employed to provide “top-down” emission estimates using atmospheric measurements. Here, we analyze the dependence of derived CH4 emissions on the sampling frequency and density of the observational surface network, using the ...

Global and regional emission estimates for HCFC-22 [PDF]
HCFC-22 (CHClF[subscript 2], chlorodifluoromethane) is an ozone-depleting substance (ODS) as well as a significant greenhouse gas (GHG). HCFC-22 has been used widely as a refrigerant fluid in cooling and air-conditioning equipment since the 1960s, and it

RADIATIVE PROPERTIES OF OCEANIC PARTICLES
Global ocean color observations provide repeated synoptic coverage of spec- tral water leaving reflectance that are important for better understanding of ocean ecology and biogeochemistry, carbon cycle, and their impact on climate change.
