Collaborative products range from published papers that build
realistic radiative transfer
models from within the ocean to the top of the atmosphere to the assembly of novel databases that contain ocean and atmospheric measurements useful to develop novel algorithms.
He made that very clear in the introduction: «In this paper we study the response of a 3D global climate
model to
realistic rates of change of
radiative forcing mechanisms.»
We use the GISS
model of
radiative transfer through the global atmosphere to try and break down the attribution using
realistic distributions of local temperature, water vapor and clouds.
In our «rotating
radiative convective equilibrium» simulations, a
realistic model is simplified by removing land surfaces and spherical geometry, and by assuming that the underlying ocean temperatures are spatially uniform, providing a relatively simple system in which to study the formation and mature structure of hurricanes.
Assuming the simulated variability and
model response to
radiative forcing are
realistic, the results of the present study demonstrate that the combination of greenhouse gas forcing, sulfate aerosols, and internal variability could have produced the early 20th century warming, although to do so would take an unusually large realization of internal variability.
While it is important to establish reliable GCM it is equal if not more important to make sure that these
models are well integrated with
realistic radiative transfer
models which provide good agreement with the in going and outgoing
radiative fluxes at the atmosphere.
S&B ran their equation using observed variations in
radiative flux related to random cloud movements; their
model is therefore much more
realistic than the IPCC's formula which is limited to temperature and ACO2 forcing.
