three-dimensional structure of clouds. Here we use CALIPSO lidar
observations together with a lidar simulator to evaluate the cloudiness
simulated by a climate model: modeled atmospheric profiles are converted
to an ensemble of subgrid-scale attenuated backscatter lidar signals
from which a cloud fraction is derived. Except in regions of persistent
thick upper-level clouds, the cloud fraction diagnosed through this
procedure is close to that actually predicted by the model. A fractional
cloudiness is diagnosed consistently from CALIPSO data at a
spatio-temporal resolution comparable to that of the model. The
comparison of the model's cloudiness with CALIPSO data reveals
discrepancies more pronounced than in previous model evaluations based
on passive observations. This suggests that space-borne lidar
observations constitute a powerful tool for the evaluation of clouds in
large-scale models, including marine boundary-layer clouds

precipitation is anticorrelated with the precipitation amount. The
physical processes underlying this so-called amount effect are still
poorly understood and quantified. In the present study, stable water
isotopes (H$_{2}$$^{18}$O and HDO) have been introduced in a
single column model including the Emanuel convection parameterization.
We investigate the physical processes underlying the amount effect and
propose a methodology to quantify their relative contributions. We focus
on convective processes, since the idealized framework of the single
column models does not allow us to consider the effects of large-scale
horizontal advections of air masses of different isotopic signatures. We
show that two kinds of processes predominantly explain the amount
effect: first, the reevaporation of the falling rain and the diffusive
exchanges with the surrounding vapor; and second, the recycling of the
subcloud layer vapor feeding the convective system by convective fluxes.
This highlights the importance of a detailed representation of rain
evaporation processes to simulate accurately the isotopic composition of
precipitation in the tropics. The variability of the isotopic
composition on different timescales (from days to months) is also
studied using a unidimensional simulation of the Tropical Ocean-Global
Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE)
campaign. The amount effect is best observable at intraseasonal or
longer timescales. The period of time over which convective activity
significantly affects the isotopic composition of precipitation is
related to the residence time of water within atmospheric reservoirs.

atmospheres are associated with robust isotopic features such as an
isotopic composition of the air below the tropical tropopause layer
(around 12-13 km) close to the typical values observed in the lower
tropical stratosphere, and an isotopic enrichment of the upper
tropospheric water that starts well below the tropopause. It highlights
the critical role of condensate lofting and convective detrainment in
these features, and the role of convective unsaturated downdrafts in the
control of the isotopic composition of precipitation. Finally, it shows
that the so-called ''amount effect'' primarily reveals the influence of
large-scale atmospheric circulation changes on the isotopic composition
of the precipitation, and that temperature changes not associated with
circulation changes lead to an ''anti-amount effect''. The detailed
analysis of the physical processes underlying the ''amount effect'' is
presented in a companion paper.

little change in intensity and in extension. The poleward shift of the
Southern Hemisphere winter Hadley cell corresponds to changes in the
transient eddies, whereas the increase of the dry static stability is
mainly responsible for the mean weakening of the cell. For boreal
winter, a strong shrinking of the ascending branch area, and an increase
of the latent heating, is found to cancel the weakening of the
circulation due to dry static stability increase.

pages = {556-571},
abstract = {{The dynamics of Titan's stratosphere is discussed in this study, based
on a comparison between observations by the CIRS instrument on board the
Cassini spacecraft, and results of the 2-dimensional circulation model
developed at the Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace, available at
http://www.lmd.jussieu.fr/titanDbase [Rannou, P., Lebonnois, S.,
Hourdin, F., Luz, D., 2005. Adv. Space Res. 36, 2194-2198]. The
comparison aims at both evaluating the model's capabilities and
interpreting the observations concerning: (1) dynamical and thermal
structure using temperature retrievals from Cassini/CIRS and the
vertical profile of zonal wind at the Huygens landing site obtained by
Huygens/DWE; and (2) vertical and latitudinal profiles of stratospheric
gases deduced from Cassini/CIRS data. The modeled thermal structure is
similar to that inferred from observations (Cassini/CIRS and Earth-based
observations). However, the upper stratosphere (above 0.05 mbar) is
systematically too hot in the 2D-CM, and therefore the stratopause
region is not well represented. This bias may be related to the haze
structure and to misrepresented radiative effects in this region, such
as the cooling effect of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The 2D-CM produces a
strong atmospheric superrotation, with zonal winds reaching 200 m s
$^{-1}$ at high winter latitudes between 200 and 300 km altitude
(0.1-1 mbar). The modeled zonal winds are in good agreement with
retrieved wind fields from occultation observations, Cassini/CIRS and
Huygens/DWE. Changes to the thermal structure are coupled to changes in
the meridional circulation and polar vortex extension, and therefore
affect chemical distributions, especially in winter polar regions. When
a higher altitude haze production source is used, the resulting modeled
meridional circulation is weaker and the vertical and horizontal mixing
due to the polar vortex is less extended in latitude. There is an
overall good agreement between modeled chemical distributions and
observations in equatorial regions. The difference in observed vertical
gradients of C $_{2}$H $_{2}$ and HCN may be an indicator of
the relative strength of circulation and chemical loss of HCN. The
negative vertical gradient of ethylene in the low stratosphere at
15{\deg} S, cannot be modeled with simple 1-dimensional models, where a
strong photochemical sink in the middle stratosphere would be necessary.
It is explained here by dynamical advection from the winter pole towards
the equator in the low stratosphere and by the fact that ethylene does
not condense. Near the winter pole (80{\deg} N), some compounds (C
$_{4}$H $_{2}$, C $_{3}$H $_{4}$) exhibit an
(interior) minimum in the observed abundance vertical profiles, whereas
2D-CM profiles are well mixed all along the atmospheric column. This
minimum can be a diagnostic of the strength of the meridional
circulation, and of the spatial extension of the winter polar vortex
where strong descending motions are present. In the summer hemisphere,
observed stratospheric abundances are uniform in latitude, whereas the
model maintains a residual enrichment over the summer pole from the
spring cell due to a secondary meridional overturning between 1 and 50
mbar, at latitudes south of 40-50{\deg} S. The strength, as well as
spatial and temporal extensions of this structure are a difficulty, that
may be linked to possible misrepresentation of horizontally mixing
processes, due to the restricted 2-dimensional nature of the model. This
restriction should also be kept in mind as a possible source of other
discrepancies.

simulations of climate change were characterized by a larger warming in
polar areas and over the continents, and a tendency for precipitations

regions and more precipitations at mid-latitudes or near the Equator. On
the other hand, models have made little progress in predicting more
unanimously and more reliably the global amplitude of climate changes

linked with the role of the atmospheric dynamics in shaping up certain
aspects of climate response, either small scales which affect
atmospheric stratification, or synoptic scales, whose inherent

triggered by the retreat of sea ice in the Barents Sea during the late
twentieth century. This sea ice reduction initiates a positive feedback
in the atmosphere-sea ice-ocean system that alters both the atmospheric
and oceanic circulations in the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian
(GIN)-Barents Seas sector. Around year 2080, the model predicts a second
transition threshold beyond which the Fram Strait outflow is restored
toward its original weak value. The long-term freshening of the GIN Seas
is invoked to explain this rapid transition. It is further found that
the mechanism of interannual changes in deep mixing differ fundamentally
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This difference is
caused by the dominant influence of freshwater over the twenty-first
century. In the GIN Seas, the interannual changes in the liquid
freshwater export out of the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait combined
with the interannual changes in the liquid freshwater import from the
North Atlantic are shown to have a major influence in driving the
interannual variability of the deep convection during the twenty-first
century. South of Iceland, the other region of deep water renewal in the
model, changes in freshwater import from the North Atlantic constitute
the dominant forcing of deep convection on interannual time scales over
the twenty-first century.
