Global monsoons in the mid-Holocene and oceanic feedback 总被引：10，自引：3，他引：10
The response of the six major summer monsoon systems (the North American monsoon, the northern Africa monsoon, the Asia monsoon, the northern Australasian monsoon, the South America monsoon and the southern Africa monsoon) to mid-Holocene orbital forcing has been investigated using a coupled ocean–atmosphere general circulation model (FOAM), with the focus on the distinct roles of the direct insolation forcing and oceanic feedback. The simulation result is also found to compare well with the NCAR CSM. The direct effects of the change in insolation produce an enhancement of the Northern Hemisphere monsoons and a reduction of the Southern Hemisphere monsoons. Ocean feedbacks produce a further enhancement of the northern Africa monsoon and the North American monsoon. However, ocean feedbacks appear to weaken the Asia monsoon, although the overall effect (direct insolation forcing plus ocean feedback) remains a strengthened monsoon. The impact of ocean feedbacks on the South American and southern African monsoons is relatively small, and therefore these regions, especially the South America, experienced a reduced monsoon regime compared to present. However, there is a strong ocean feedback on the northern Australian monsoon that negates the direct effects of orbital changes and results in a strengthening of austral summer monsoon precipitation in this region. A new synthesis is made for mid-Holocene paleoenvironmental records and is compared with the model simulations. Overall, model simulations produce changes in regional climates that are generally consistent with paleoenvironmental observations. 相似文献

An analysis is made of the effects of topography on the summer atmospheric energetics of the Northern Hemisphere in a low-resolution global spectral model. The numerical model is a global, spectral, primitive equation model with five equally spaced sigma levels in the vertical and triangular truncation at wavenumber 10 in the horizontal. The model includes comparatively full physical processes.Each term of the energy budget equations is calculated in four specific latitudinal belts (81.11°S-11.53°S; 11.53°S-11.53°N; 11.53°N-46.24°N; 46.24°N-81.11°N) from a five-year simulation with mountains and a one-year simulation without mountains, respectively. Differences between them are compared and statistically tested. The results show that synoptical scale waves transport available potential energy and kinetic energy to long waves and increase conversion from available potential energy of the zonal flow to eddy’s and from the eddy kinetic energy to the zonal kinetic energy in region 3 (11.53°N-46.24°N) due to mountains; topography intensifies the atmospheric baroclinity in region 3, consequently the baroclinic conversion of atmosphere energy is increased. The seasonal characteristics associated with the summer atmospheric energy source in region 3 are caused by seasonal variation of the solar radiation and the land-ocean contrasts and independent of topographic effects. The mechanism of topographic effects on the increase of long wave kinetic energy is also discussed. 相似文献

Centennial-scale climate change from decadally-paced explosive volcanism: a coupled sea ice-ocean mechanism 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Y. Zhong G. H. Miller B. L. Otto-Bliesner M. M. Holland D. A. Bailey D. P. Schneider A. Geirsdottir 《Climate Dynamics》2011,37(11-12):2373-2387
Northern Hemisphere summer cooling through the Holocene is largely driven by the steady decrease in summer insolation tied to the precession of the equinoxes. However, centennial-scale climate departures, such as the Little Ice Age, must be caused by other forcings, most likely explosive volcanism and changes in solar irradiance. Stratospheric volcanic aerosols have the stronger forcing, but their short residence time likely precludes a lasting climate impact from a single eruption. Decadally paced explosive volcanism may produce a greater climate impact because the long response time of ocean surface waters allows for a cumulative decrease in sea-surface temperatures that exceeds that of any single eruption. Here we use a global climate model to evaluate the potential long-term climate impacts from four decadally paced large tropical eruptions. Direct forcing results in a rapid expansion of Arctic Ocean sea ice that persists throughout the eruption period. The expanded sea ice increases the flux of sea ice exported to the northern North Atlantic long enough that it reduces the convective warming of surface waters in the subpolar North Atlantic. In two of our four simulations the cooler surface waters being advected into the Arctic Ocean reduced the rate of basal sea-ice melt in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean, allowing sea ice to remain in an expanded state for?>?100 model years after volcanic aerosols were removed from the stratosphere. In these simulations the coupled sea ice-ocean mechanism maintains the strong positive feedbacks of an expanded Arctic Ocean sea ice cover, allowing the initial cooling related to the direct effect of volcanic aerosols to be perpetuated, potentially resulting in a centennial-scale or longer change of state in Arctic climate. The fact that the sea ice-ocean mechanism was not established in two of our four simulations suggests that a long-term sea ice response to volcanic forcing is sensitive to the stability of the seawater column, wind, and ocean currents in the North Atlantic during the eruptions. 相似文献

Historically, El Nino-like events simulated in global coupled climate models have had reduced amplitude compared to observations.
Here, El Nino-like phenomena are compared in ten sensitivity experiments using two recent global coupled models. These models
have various combinations of horizontal and vertical ocean resolution, ocean physics, and atmospheric model resolution. It
is demonstrated that the lower the value of the ocean background vertical diffusivity, the greater the amplitude of El Nino
variability which is related primarily to a sharper equatorial thermocline. Among models with low background vertical diffusivity,
stronger equatorial zonal wind stress is associated with relatively higher amplitude El Nino variability along with more realistic
east–west sea surface temperature (SST) gradient along the equator. The SST seasonal cycle in the eastern tropical Pacific
has too much of a semiannual component with a double intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in all experiments, and thus does
not affect, nor is it affected by, the amplitude of El Nino variability. Systematic errors affecting the spatial variability
of El Nino in the experiments are characterized by the eastern equatorial Pacific cold tongue regime extending too far westward
into the warm pool. The time scales of interannual variability (as represented by time series of Nino3 SSTs) show significant
power in the 3–4 year ENSO band and 2–2.5 year tropospheric biennial oscillation (TBO) band in the model experiments. The
TBO periods in the models agree well with the observations, while the ENSO periods are near the short end of the range of
3–6 years observed during the period 1950–94. The close association between interannual variability of equatorial eastern
Pacific SSTs and large-scale SST patterns is represented by significant correlations between Nino3 time series and the PC
time series of the first EOFs of near-global SSTs in the models and observations.

The role of meltwater-induced subsurface ocean warming in regulating the Atlantic meridional overturning in glacial climate simulations 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The Community Climate System Model version 3, (CCSM3) is used to investigate the effect of the high latitude North Atlantic subsurface ocean temperature response in idealized freshwater hosing experiments on the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The hosing experiments covered a range of input magnitudes at two locations in a glacial background state. Subsurface subpolar ocean warms when freshwater is added to the high latitude North Atlantic (NATL cases) and weakly cools when freshwater is added to the Gulf of Mexico (GOM cases). All cases show subsurface ocean warming in the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The sensitivity of the AMOC response to the location and magnitude of hosing is related to the induced subsurface temperature response, which affects the magnitude of the large-scale meridional pressure gradient at depth through the effect on upper ocean density. The high latitude subsurface warming induced in the NATL cases lowers the upper ocean density in the deepwater formation region enhancing a density reduction by local freshening. In the GOM cases the effect of SH warming partially offsets the effect of the high latitude freshening on the meridional density gradient. Following the end of hosing, a brief convective event occurs in the largest NATL cases which flushes some of the heat stored in the subsurface layers. This fuels a rapid rise in AMOC that lasts less than a couple of decades before subsequent freshening from increases in precipitation and sea ice melt reverses the initial increase in the meridional density gradient. Thereafter AMOC recovery slows to the rate found in comparable GOM cases. The result for these glacial transient hosing experiments is that the pace of the longer recovery is not sensitive to location of the imposed freshwater forcing. 相似文献

In order to identify the sensitivity of the numerical simulation to the orography specification in a low resolution spectral
model, two sets of numerical experiments for full-mountain and no-mountain cases are performed. By comparing the results,
it is possible to determine the eflects of mountains on the atmospheric general circulation.
This is a global, spectral model incorporating the primitive equations sugmented by physical parameterization and mountains,
with five equally-spaced sigma levels in the vertical ang a triangular truncation at wavenumber 10 in the horizontal.
Analysis of results supports earlier work by demonstrating that the low resolution global spectral model is capable of simulating
the major features of global general circulation and indicates that it is necessary to consider the effects of mouniains on
stationary disturbances in the numerical simulation. The simulations show that topography plays an important role in intensifying
heat sources for maintenance of disturbances.
All the simulation tests indicate that orography has an important infiuence on the distribution of heat sources and sinks.
It reflects that interaction and interrelation exist between the effects of orography and heat sources and the atmospheric
circulhtion via the dynamical processes of atmosphere. This result confirms the view points proposed by Yeh and Zhu (1958),
but differs from those by Kasahara and Washington (1971), Manabe and Terpstra (1974). 相似文献
