TL;DR: In this article, the results of WV and O3 intercomparisons that have been performed as part of the SPARC (Stratosphere-troposphere Processes and their Role in Climate) Reanalysis Intercomparison Project (S-RIP) are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare cloud-radiative forcing (CRF) at the top-of-the atmosphere from 19 atmospheric general circulation models, employing simulations with prescribed sea-surface temperatures, to observations from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed two climate models for the purpose of qualitatively understanding climate forcing mechanisms and feedback processes associated with the injection of atmospheric smoke and dust (i.e., atmospheric perturbations due to a nuclear exchange).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented a revised convective triggering condition in the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Atmosphere Model, Version 2 (CAM2), model to reduce its excessive warm season daytime precipitation over land.

TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of tropical rain forests to increase arable acreage seems to be one of the more imminent mechanisms suggested by which man might change the planetary climate, and the authors selected this as the first problem to be tested in their recently updated climate model, finding overall global cooling and a reduction in precipitation.
