Evaluation of ocean carbon cycle models with data-based metrics
(American Geophysical Union, 2004-04-02)
New radiocarbon and chlorofluorocarbon-11 data
from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment are used
to assess a suite of 19 ocean carbon cycle models. We use
the distributions and inventories of these tracers as
quantitative ...
Evaluating Global Ocean Carbon Models: The Importance of Realistic Physics
(American Geophysical Union, 2004-09-15)
A suite of standard ocean hydrographic and circulation metrics are applied to the
equilibrium physical solutions from 13 global carbon models participating in phase 2 of
the Ocean Carbon-cycle Model Intercomparison Project ...
Last Glacial Maximum over China: Sensitivities of climate to paleovegetation and Tibetan ice sheet
(American Geophysical Union, 2003-02-06)
With the boundary conditions appropriate for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM),
including ice sheets, sea surface temperatures, sea-ice distribution, atmospheric CO2
concentration, the Earth’s orbital parameters, topography, ...
The North Atlantic Oscillation and greenhouse-gas forcing
(American Geophysical Union, 2005-02-17)
The results of 12 coupled climate models participating in the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project (CMIP2) are compared together with observational data in order
to investigate: 1) How the current generation of climate ...
The sensitivity of the present day Atlantic meriodinal overturning circulation to freshwater forcing
(American Geophysical Union, 2003-09-09)
Mounting evidence indicates that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) was strongly reduced during cold climate episodes in the past, possible due to freshwater influx from glacial melting. It is also ...
Two-phase, near-field modeling of purposefully released CO2 in the ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2001-01-15)
Effects of solar irradiance forcing on the ocean circulation and sea-ice in the North Atlantic in an isopycnic coordinate ocean general circulation model
(Blackwell, 2004)
The sensitivity of the ocean circulation to changes in solar irradiance is examined using an isopycnic coordinate, global ocean general circulation model (OGCM) coupled to a thermodynamic/dynamic sea-ice model. In the ...
Diagnosing ocean tracer transport from Sellafield and Dounreay by equivalent diffusion and age
(Science Press, 2008-09-27)
A simple approach for estimating the equivalent diffusion for diagnosing tracer transport is proposed.
Two different expressions are derived; one is based directly on an analytical solution of the two-dimensional ...
Annual carbon fluxes in the upper Greenland Sea based on measurements and a box-model approach
(Blackwell, 2000-07)
Measurements of nitrate and the carbonate system parameters performed mainly from 1993 to
1997 have been used to estimate the evolution of the concentration fields over the year in the
surface and underlying waters of ...
Modeling the middle Pliocene climate with a global atmospheric general circulation model
(American Geophysical Union, 2005-07-27)
A new climate simulation for the middle Pliocene (ca. 3 Ma BP) is performed by a global grid-point atmospheric general circulation model developed at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP AGCM) with boundary conditions ...
