GEOG 5100: Climate System Modeling This is a hands on research seminar focusing on climate model development from the simplest to most complex models culminating with a final research project designing and analyzing a General
Circulation climate model experiment.

Climate modeling groups have also been
experimenting with ways to use the predictability of deeper ocean
circulations (where internal variations can persist for up to a decade), but results have been mixed at best.
Using a complex coupled atmosphere - ocean general
circulation model (ECHAM5 / MPI - OM)
climate response
experiments with enhanced small - scale fluctuations are performed.
Recent 20
experiments with a fully coupled atmosphere — ocean
climate general
circulation model (GCM) supported this scenario (Lunt et al., 2011).
Here we analyze a series of
climate model experiments along with observational data to show that the recent warming trend in Atlantic sea surface temperature and the corresponding trans - basin displacements of the main atmospheric pressure centers were key drivers of the observed Walker
circulation intensification, eastern Pacific cooling, North American rainfall trends and western Pacific sea - level rise.
The issue with the Mauritsen and Stevens piece is that it tries to go well beyond a «what if»
modeling experiment, and attempts to make contact with a lot of other issues related to historical
climate change (the hiatus, changes in the hydrologic cycle, observed tropical lapse rate «hotspot» stuff, changes in the atmsopheric
circulation, etc) by means of what the «iris» should look like in other
climate signals.

Experiments with coupled ocean - atmosphere general
circulation models (which represent the complexity of the
climate system much more realistically than this simple
model) give similar results.

This
climate modeling experiment was performed using the GISS ModelE general
circulation coupled atmosphere - ocean
climate model by zeroing out all of the non-condensing greenhouse gases.
The evidence for changes in the
circulation in response to increasing greenhouse gases derives primarily from numerical
climate model experiments.

Climate Experiment, in situ measurements, and a non-Boussinesq ocean general
circulation model, J. Geophys.
