Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric brown clouds: impacts on South Asian climate and hydrological cycle.
Veerabhadran Ramanathan,Chul Eddy Chung,D. Kim,Thomas W. Bettge,Lawrence Buja,Jeffrey T. Kiehl,Warren M. Washington,Qiang Fu,D. Sikka,Martin Wild +9 more
TL;DR: An ensemble of coupled ocean-atmosphere simulations from 1930 to 2000 suggest that absorbing aerosols in atmospheric brown clouds may have played a major role in the observed regional climate and hydrological cycle changes and have masked as much as 50% of the surface warming due to the global increase in greenhouse gases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Importance of Land-Cover Change in Simulating Future Climates
Johannes J. Feddema,Johannes J. Feddema,Keith W. Oleson,Keith W. Oleson,Gordon B. Bonan,Gordon B. Bonan,Linda O. Mearns,Linda O. Mearns,Lawrence Buja,Lawrence Buja,Gerald A. Meehl,Gerald A. Meehl,Warren M. Washington,Warren M. Washington +13 more
TL;DR: Adding the effects of changes in land cover to the A2 and B1 transient climate simulations described in the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change leads to significantly different regional climates in 2100 as compared with climates resulting from atmospheric SRES forcings alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an intercomparison and interpretation of climate feedback processes in 19 atmospheric general circulation models and found that a roughly threefold variation in one measure of global climate sensitivity was found among the 19 models.
Journal ArticleDOI
A large-scale numerical model of sea ice
TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale sea ice model is described, which is capable of coupling with atmospheric and oceanic models of comparable resolution, simulating the yearly cycle of ice in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Warren M. Washington,J. W. Weatherly,Gerald A. Meehl,Albert J. Semtner,Thomas W. Bettge,Anthony Craig,Warren G. Strand,Julie M. Arblaster,V. B. Wayland,Rodney James,Y. Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: The Parallel Climate Model (PCM) as mentioned in this paper uses the NCAR Community Climate Model 3 and Land Surface Model (LSM) for the atmospheric and land surface components, respectively, the DOE Los Alamos National Laboratory Parallel Ocean Program (POP) for ocean component, and the Naval Postgraduate School sea-ice model.
