Climate Models: An Assessment of Strengths and Limitations
David C. Bader,Curtis Covey,William J. Gutowski,Isaac M. Held,Kenneth E. Kunkel,Ronald L. Miller,Robin Tokmakian,Minghua Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: The Synthesis and Assessment Product (SAP 3.1) as discussed by the authors focuses on the Climate models and describes the models and their ability to simulate current climate, as well as their capability to simulate future climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eddy Amplitudes and Fluxes in a Homogeneous Model of Fully Developed Baroclinic Instability
Vitaly D. Larichev,Isaac M. Held +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a horizontally homogeneous two-layer quasigeostrophic model with imposed environmental vertical shear is used to study eddy energies and fluxes in the regime in which an inverse barotropic energy cascade excites eddies of much larger scale than the deformation radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Scale Dynamics and Global Warming
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the sensitivity of the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean to increasing freshwater input at high latitudes, the possibility of greenhouse cooling in the southern oceans, and the possible importance of positive feedback between the mean winds and eddy-induced heating in the polar stratosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, a description is provided of a version of the AM4.0/LM 4.0 atmosphere/land model that will serve as a base for a new set of climate and Earth system models (CM4 and ESM4) under development at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL).

Large-Scale Eddies and the General Circulation of the Troposphere
Isaac M. Held,Brian J. Hoskins +1 more
TL;DR: In the case of solid body rotation, the eddy activity spreads more or less uniformly over the sphere as discussed by the authors, and the mean flow is accelerated in the region in which the initial wave activity is large, while the compensating deceleration determined by the dissipation of wave activity occurs over a wide range of latitudes.
