Sentences with phrase «slab ocean model»

All runs are conducted using preindustrial (1850) land use conditions in order to conform with our best - available slab ocean model data; however the orbital conditions are set for the year 2000.

Previous studies demonstrated that the cloud feedbacks derived from the Cess experiments well capture the intermodel differences of feedbacks in the equilibrium response of slab ocean models to a doubling of CO2 (e.g., Ringer et al. 2006).

To achieve this, we couple the LES domain to a slab ocean model, whose SST evolves according to the surface energy balance.

I saw a poster a at a meeting last year that compared a simulation with prescribed SST to another with a slab ocean model (SOM) and the results were very striking, so I started thinking that I need to explore this type of modelling more.

The slab ocean model is a computationally efficient scheme that allows sea surface temperatures to interact with the atmosphere; and is necessary for propagating energy imbalances due to land cover change that lead to shifts in precipitation.

Some recent results with AGCMs coupled to slab ocean models (Hewitt et al., 2001; Vavrus and Harrison, 2003) support the hypothesis that a representation of sea ice dynamics in climate models has a moderating impact on climate sensitivity.
