«
Climate models have
improved greatly in the last 10 years, which allows us to look in detail at the
simulation of daily weather rather than just monthly averages,» said Pierce.
Meanwhile, some
climate modellers are already using the SIM data to see whether that
improves the
model simulations of ozone and temperature responses in the stratosphere.
Additionally, there is little evidence that the rate of conversion of cloud water to rain actually changes with temperature, although Mauritsen and Stevens show that incorporating the iris into the
model does
improve the
model's
simulations of some aspects of the
climate system (even though it doesn't change
climate sensitivity much).
When you say, «incorporating the iris into the
model does
improve the
model's
simulations of some aspects of the
climate system,» could you be clearer on what «aspects» are
improved?
This study also provides observational constraints for an
improved simulation of convection in
models simulating present and future
climate models and a better understanding of isotope variations in proxy archives, such as speleothems and tropical ice.
These are essential to
improve modeling simulations of
climate variations and oceanic dynamic process studies.
The goal is to
improve model biases with regards to hydrographic measurements and circulation constraints and use the
improved model for coupled ocean - atmosphere
simulations of preindustrial, historical and future
climates.
And beyond the post-facto
model evaluation, it will be interesting to see whether new
climate models will take advantage of emergent constraints to
improve their
simulation of present - day
climate and to reduce uncertainties in future projections.
The accuracy of the
simulations of GST by IPCC would also be
improved significantly by introducing the influence of fine dust from the actual atmospheric nuclear explosions into their
climate models; thus, global warming behavior could be more accurately predicted
Scientists at GFDL develop and use mathematical
models and computer
simulations to
improve our understanding and prediction of the behavior of the atmosphere, the oceans, and
climate.
The enhanced resolution in the CM2.5
model has a significantly
improved simulation of many aspects of
climate, particularly hydroclimate over continental regions (Delworth et al., 2012, Figures 5,6,7 and 9); many of the improvements in
simulation of near - surface
climate in CM2.5 are recovered in FLOR (e.g., Jia et al. 2015).
As a result of these enhancements, the CM2.5
model has a significantly
improved simulation of many aspects of
climate, particularly hydroclimate over continental regions (Delworth et al., 2012, Figures 5,6,7 and 9) and aspects of ocean circulation.
Since then, literally thousands of papers have made this case very carefully, tens to hundreds of thousands of
climate simulations have been run,
model errors have been corrected and resolution
improved, hundreds of problems in the science have been corrected and claims that humans aren't the source have all been addressed.
The
climate feedbacks involved with these changes, which are key in understanding the
climate system as a whole, include: + the importance of aerosol absorption on
climate + the impact of aerosol deposition which affects biology and, hence, emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursors via organic nitrogen, organic phosphorus and iron fertilization + the importance of land use and land use changes on natural and anthropogenic aerosol sources + the SOA sources and impact on
climate, with special attention on the impact human activities have on natural SOA formation In order to quantitatively answer such questions I perform
simulations of the past, present and future atmospheres, and make comparisons with measurements and remote sensing data, all of which help understand, evaluate and
improve the
model's parameterizations and performance, and our understanding of the Earth system.
