Sentences with phrase «ocean component»

The relatively slow progress can partially be explained by the fact that improving sea ice simulation requires improvements in both the atmosphere and ocean components in addition to the sea ice component itself.

Along with iESM, the ACME team has added enhancements to the land, atmosphere, and ocean components of their code.

Using two different coupled climate models with mixed - layer oceans, with and without OHT, along with a coupled model with a fixed - current ocean component in which the currents are uniformly reduced and increased by 50 %, an attempt is made to explain why this may happen.

Smith, R.D., and P.R. Gent, 2002: Reference Manual for the Parallel Ocean Program (POP), Ocean Component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM2.0 and 3.0).

Not that it isn't a good paper that shows the temperature trends, but it's important (as the postscript admits) that future predictions will depend heavily on getting the ocean component right.

But, as Darby is quick to point out, it doesn't mean every game from now on will have an ocean component to it.

Net ocean heat content changes are very closely tied to the net radiative imbalance of the planet since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the biggest heat capacity.

«Since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the biggest heat capacity», I've been wondering if the cool waters of the deep ocean could be used to mitigate the effects of global warming for a few centuries until we have really depleated our carbon reserves and the system can begin to recover on its own.

Additional simulations used a hierarchy of coupled ocean - atmosphere models combining different atmosphere and ocean components.

Anav A., P. Friedlingstein, M. Kidston, L. Bopp, P. Ciais, P. Cox, C. Jones, M. Jung, R. Myneni, and Z. Zhu, 2013: Evaluating the Land and Ocean Components of the Global Carbon Cycle in the CMIP5 Earth System Models.

The A in PIOMAS stands for assimilation - it assimilates NCEP / NCAR wind and air temperature fields that then drive the ice / ocean components.

MOM3, MOM4, and MOM5 are used as a code base for the ocean component of the GFDL coupled models used in the IPCC assessment reports, including the GFDL CM2.X physical climate model series and the ESM2M Earth System Model.

The principle of using d13C to separate land and ocean components of the carbon budget relies on the fractionation during photosynthesis by C3 plants, which discriminates against 13C.

The atmosphere, land, and sea ice components communicate every 30 min whereas the ocean component is coupled with atmosphere once a day.

The ocean component uses the ORCA tripolar grid (Madec and Imbard, 1996) which is available at 2.0 degree, 1.0 degree and 0.25 degree horizontal resolutions, and vertical resolutions of 42 levels (a resolution of 5m near the surface), and 75 levels (a resolution of 1m near the surface).

The ocean component has the same horizontal resolution of CM2.1, which is approximately 1o (with meridional resolution of 1 / 3o near the Equator).

ESM2G is unique among for a global climate model, in that its ocean component employs an isopycnal - coordinate, in contrast to most global climate models, which use z - coordinate ocean components.
