Feedbacks Internal couplings through linking processes Amplify or diminish initial induced climate change
Adjustment Time Scales 300 -3000 yr
Climatic Variation and Change Additional Factors 1. Abrupt change - external conditions (e. g. , solar output) - passing a threshold (e. g. ice caps melting) internal feedbacks 2. Multiple climate states from the same external conditions
How can a numerical model represent all of this? Options: • “Full” complexity - short time scales • Simplified - long time scales
Simplified Models • Climate simulation in general - 1960 s • Paleoclimate applications: Barry Saltzman (1931 -2001) e. g. , Saltzman & Maasch (1991)
Simplified Models • Three-variable model for slow climate variability: I = ice mass, = atmospheric CO 2, = mean ocean temperature R(t) = solar variation at 65 ˚N i, I - constants that can distill into 7 tunable parameters
Simplified Models • Three-variable model for slow climate variability: (Saltzman, 1986) CO 2 parameter ( ): from 13 C core data (dashed) and simulation (solid)
Simplified Models • Three-variable model for slow climate variability: (Saltzman, 1986) 18 O: from SPECMAP 18 O (dashed) and simulation (solid)
Intermediate Models Global, 2 -5 dimensional model: • 5˚ latitudinal bands • In each band - 2 continental sectors (Eurasia-Africa, Americas) - 3 ocean sectors (Atlantic, Indian, Pacific) • Circulation dynamics: 2 -level, Q-G - winds at 250 h. Pa, 750 h. Pa - temperature at 500 h. Pa - plus - Hadley Cell transport in tropics • 2 -D ocean model for each basin • Land-atmosphere coupling processes (Crucifix et al. , 2002)
