circulation models run for CMIP (26).
Seven global vegetation models are used to analyze possible responses to future climate simulated by a range of general
circulation models run under all four representative concentration pathway scenarios of changing concentrations of greenhouse gases.

ran five years of ocean
circulation in the
model, and we measured the damping of energy at every grid point to see what the statistics are,» Fox - Kemper said.
Scientists
run general
circulations models against these scenarios to project future climate conditions, including atmospheric carbon concentrations.
However, the general
circulation models are, at present, timeconsuming and expensive to
run, and, despite the known shortcomings of the one - dimensional
models, most available predictions of climate change have been made using the simpler
models.
There may be reason to strongly suspect that in any sufficiently complicated dynamical system
model (such as climate) with stochastic parameters (e.g., exactly when and where a lightning strike starts a major wildfire or a major submarine earthquake perturbs ocean
circulation in a region or a major volcanic eruption introduces stratospheric aerosols), it is almost certain that any given
run of the
model will have periods of significant deviation from the mean of multiple
runs.
Vecchi et al. compared the observed trend in the Walker
circulation between 1861 and 1992 to that yielded by simulations from the GFDL CM2 general
circulation model,
run with and without anthropogenic forcing.

models of the atmosphere's
circulation that are
run on super-computers.
Further analyses of long coupled
model runs will be critical to resolve the influence of the ocean thermohaline
circulation and other natural climate variations on Arctic climate and to determine whether natural climate variability will make the Arctic more or less vulnerable to anthropogenic global warming.»
Due to computational constraints, the equilibrium climate sensitivity in a climate
model is usually estimated by
running an atmospheric general
circulation model coupled to a mixed - layer ocean
model, because equilibrium climate sensitivity is largely determined by atmospheric processes.
An analysis of two coupled atmosphere - ocean general
circulation models control runs (UK Met Office HadCM3 and NOAA GFDL CM2.1) agree with the shorter and longer time - scales of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and temperature fluctuations with periodicities close to thos
circulation models control
runs (UK Met Office HadCM3 and NOAA GFDL CM2.1) agree with the shorter and longer time - scales of Atlantic Meridional Overturning
Circulation (AMOC) and temperature fluctuations with periodicities close to thos
Circulation (AMOC) and temperature fluctuations with periodicities close to those observed.
These different SAT trends occur despite the fact that both simulations were subject to the identical radiative forcing and were conducted with the same
model, highlighting the role of internal atmospheric
circulation variability in any single
model run.
Using radiation
modeling we estimated how strong the climate forcing would be for each scenario, and then
ran general
circulation models to see how that forcing would change the climate.
Do GCM's «create» cold fronts and the arctic air flows when they
run, or are they «static» heat exchange
models only (radiation received and radiation released are obviously their «drivers»... But what happens after the air masses have been «driven» for the equal of one or two «years» — do we see flows in the tropics, mid-latitudes, and polar latitudes than resembles earth's
circulation?
«The NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX - GDDP) dataset is comprised of downscaled climate scenarios for the globe that are derived from the General
Circulation Model (GCM)
runs conducted under the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and across two of the four greenhouse gas emissions scenarios known as Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs).
Let's be clear here, they're theorized feedbacks in unverified general
circulation models whose results fit the IPCC's expectations, and as you know, when expectations are met it's difficult for even good scientists to look further, let alone for the politicians
running the show.
Watanabe
ran simulations with five general
circulation models (GCMs)-- CanCM4, CNRM - CM5, CSIRO Mk - 3.6, HadCM3, and MIROC5.

circulation models,
run with and without anthropogenically - induced sea surface temperature changes, results were
model - dependent.
This view is supported by
model results that relate the variability of the global - mean SST to North Atlantic thermohaline
circulation (30, 31, 35) and by the existence of an AMO - like variability in control
runs without anthropogenic forcing (28).
I am distrustful of prediction scenarios for details of the ocean
circulation that rely on extremely complicated coupled
models that
run out for decades to thousands of years.
Personally I'd like the climate boffins, or someone,
run the global
circulation models with no ocean and see what happens.
