Sentences with phrase «resolution global atmospheric models»

Our 2015 study examines the impact of 21st - century projected climate changes (CMIP5, RCP4.5 scenario) on a number of tropical cyclone metrics, using the GFDL hurricane model to downscale storms in all basins from one of the lower resolution global atmospheric models mentioned above.

This result suggests that current projections of regional climate change may be questionable.This finding is also highly relevant to regional climate modelling studies where lower resolution global atmospheric models are often used as the driving model for high resolution regional models.

Not exact matches

Their findings, based on output from four global climate models of varying ocean and atmospheric resolution, indicate that ocean temperature in the U.S. Northeast Shelf is projected to warm twice as fast as previously projected and almost three times faster than the global average.

The global climate models assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which are used to project global and regional climate change, are coarse resolution models based on a roughly 100 - kilometer or 62 - mile grid, to simulate ocean and atmospheric dynamics.

This study employed three newly developed global coupled climate models to study the impact of horizontal atmospheric model resolution (tile size) on precipitation extremes.

Using variable resolution global models, their analyses will take into account the sensitivity of water cycle processes such as atmospheric rivers and monsoons to model resolution.

(In comparison, horizontal resolutions in most of the global atmospheric models referenced in the IPCC's 4th assessment are of the order of 100 - 300 km).

JIGSAW (GEO) is a set of algorithms designed to generate complex, variable resolution unstructured meshes for geophysical modelling applications, including: global ocean and atmospheric simulation, numerical weather prediction, coastal ocean modelling and ice - sheet dynamics.

In a new paper by Saba et al., they compare simulations and an atmospheric CO2 doubling response from four NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) global climate models of varying ocean and atmosphere resolution.

The sources of uncertainty are many, including the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions in the future, their conversion into atmospheric concentrations, the range of responses of various climate models to a given radiative forcing and the method of constructing high resolution information from global climate model outputs (Pittock, 1995; see Figure 13.2).

The development and application of scenarios from high - resolution regional climate models and global atmospheric models (time - slices) since the TAR confirms that improved resolution allows a more realistic representation of the response of climate to fine - scale topographic features (e.g., lakes, mountains, coastlines).
