abstract = {{In most atmospheric circulation models used for climate projections,
cloud and convective processes are not explicitly resolved but
parameterized. Such models are known to produce a diurnal cycle of
continental thunderstorms in phase with insolation, while observed
precipitation peaks in late afternoon. We propose a new approach which
corrects this long standing bias of parameterized convection. In this
approach, deep convection triggering and intensity are controlled by
sub-cloud processes: here boundary layer thermals and gust fronts, and
potentially orography or surface heterogeneities. The representation of
the diurnal cycle of deep convection is greatly improved in 1D mode,
with rainfall maximum delayed from midday to late afternoon, provided
parameterizations account for the key role played by shallow cumulus in
preconditioning deep convection and by gust fronts in the
self-sustaining of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

abstract = {{We have developed a simplified aerosol model together with its tangent
linear and adjoint versions for the ultimate aim of optimizing global
aerosol and aerosol precursor emission using variational data
assimilation. The model was derived from the general circulation model
LMDz; it groups together the 24 aerosol species simulated in LMDz into 4
species, namely gaseous precursors, fine mode aerosols, coarse mode
desert dust and coarse mode sea salt. The emissions have been kept as in
the original model. Modifications, however, were introduced in the
computation of aerosol optical depth and in the processes of
sedimentation, dry and wet deposition and sulphur chemistry to ensure
consistency with the new set of species and their composition.
The simplified model successfully manages to reproduce the main
features of the aerosol distribution in LMDz. The largest differences in
aerosol load are observed for fine mode aerosols and gaseous precursors.
Differences between the original and simplified models are mainly
associated to the new deposition and sedimentation velocities consistent
with the definition of species in the simplified model and the
simplification of the sulphur chemistry. Furthermore, simulated aerosol
optical depth remains within the variability of monthly AERONET
observations for all aerosol types and all sites throughout most of the
year. Largest differences are observed over sites with strong desert
dust influence. In terms of the daily aerosol variability, the model is
less able to reproduce the observed variability from the AERONET data
with larger discrepancies in stations affected by industrial aerosols.
The simplified model however, closely follows the daily simulation from
LMDz.
Sensitivity analyses with the tangent linear version
show that the simplified sulphur chemistry is the dominant process
responsible for the strong non-linearity of the model.

abstract = {{We evaluate black carbon (BC) model predictions from the AeroCom model
intercomparison project by considering the diversity among year 2000
model simulations and comparing model predictions with available
measurements. These model-measurement intercomparisons include BC
surface and aircraft concentrations, aerosol absorption optical depth
(AAOD) retrievals from AERONET and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and
BC column estimations based on AERONET. In regions other than Asia, most
models are biased high compared to surface concentration measurements.
However compared with (column) AAOD or BC burden retreivals, the models
are generally biased low. The average ratio of model to retrieved AAOD
is less than 0.7 in South American and 0.6 in African biomass burning
regions; both of these regions lack surface concentration measurements.
In Asia the average model to observed ratio is 0.7 for AAOD and 0.5 for
BC surface concentrations. Compared with aircraft measurements over the
Americas at latitudes between 0 and 50N, the average model is a factor
of 8 larger than observed, and most models exceed the measured BC
standard deviation in the mid to upper troposphere. At higher latitudes
the average model to aircraft BC ratio is 0.4 and models underestimate
the observed BC loading in the lower and middle troposphere associated
with springtime Arctic haze. Low model bias for AAOD but overestimation
of surface and upper atmospheric BC concentrations at lower latitudes
suggests that most models are underestimating BC absorption and should
improve estimates for refractive index, particle size, and optical
effects of BC coating. Retrieval uncertainties and/or differences with
model diagnostic treatment may also contribute to the model-measurement
disparity. Largest AeroCom model diversity occurred in northern Eurasia
and the remote Arctic, regions influenced by anthropogenic sources.
Changing emissions, aging, removal, or optical properties within a
single model generated a smaller change in model predictions than the
range represented by the full set of AeroCom models. Upper tropospheric
concentrations of BC mass from the aircraft measurements are suggested
to provide a unique new benchmark to test scavenging and vertical
dispersion of BC in global models.

journal = {Atmospheric Chemistry \& Physics},
year = 2009,
month = nov,
volume = 9,
pages = {8697-8717},
abstract = {{Aerosol indirect effects continue to constitute one of the most
important uncertainties for anthropogenic climate perturbations. Within
the international AEROCOM initiative, the representation of
aerosol-cloud-radiation interactions in ten different general
circulation models (GCMs) is evaluated using three satellite datasets.
The focus is on stratiform liquid water clouds since most GCMs do not
include ice nucleation effects, and none of the model explicitly
parameterises aerosol effects on convective clouds. We compute
statistical relationships between aerosol optical depth
({$\tau$}$_{a}$) and various cloud and radiation quantities in a
manner that is consistent between the models and the satellite data. It
is found that the model-simulated influence of aerosols on cloud droplet
number concentration (N$_{d}$) compares relatively well to the
satellite data at least over the ocean. The relationship between
{$\tau$}$_{a}$ and liquid water path is simulated much too strongly
by the models. This suggests that the implementation of the second
aerosol indirect effect mainly in terms of an autoconversion
parameterisation has to be revisited in the GCMs. A positive
relationship between total cloud fraction (f$_{cld}$) and
{$\tau$}$_{a}$ as found in the satellite data is simulated by the
majority of the models, albeit less strongly than that in the satellite
data in most of them. In a discussion of the hypotheses proposed in the
literature to explain the satellite-derived strong
f$_{cld}$-{$\tau$}$_{a}$ relationship, our results
indicate that none can be identified as a unique explanation.
Relationships similar to the ones found in satellite data between
{$\tau$}$_{a}$ and cloud top temperature or outgoing long-wave
radiation (OLR) are simulated by only a few GCMs. The GCMs that simulate
a negative OLR-{$\tau$}$_{a}$ relationship show a strong
positive correlation between {$\tau$}$_{a}$ and f$_{cld}$. The
short-wave total aerosol radiative forcing as simulated by the GCMs is
strongly influenced by the simulated anthropogenic fraction of
{$\tau$}$_{a}$, and parameterisation assumptions such as a lower
bound on N$_{d}$. Nevertheless, the strengths of the statistical
relationships are good predictors for the aerosol forcings in the
models. An estimate of the total short-wave aerosol forcing inferred
from the combination of these predictors for the modelled forcings with
the satellite-derived statistical relationships yields a global annual
mean value of -1.5{\plusmn}0.5 Wm$^{-2}$. In an
alternative approach, the radiative flux perturbation due to
anthropogenic aerosols can be broken down into a component over the
cloud-free portion of the globe (approximately the aerosol direct
effect) and a component over the cloudy portion of the globe
(approximately the aerosol indirect effect). An estimate obtained by
scaling these simulated clear- and cloudy-sky forcings with estimates of
anthropogenic {$\tau$}$_{a}$ and satellite-retrieved
N$_{d}$-{$\tau$}$_{a}$ regression slopes, respectively,
yields a global, annual-mean aerosol direct effect estimate of
-0.4{\plusmn}0.2 Wm$^{-2}$ and a cloudy-sky (aerosol
indirect effect) estimate of -0.7{\plusmn}0.5
Wm$^{-2}$, with a total estimate of -1.2{\plusmn}0.4
Wm$^{-2}$.

It is found that the simulated weekly cycles in sulfur dioxide, sulfate,

those observed indicating model skill in simulating the aerosol cycle. A
distinct weekly cycle in cloud droplet number concentration is
demonstrated in both observations and models. For other variables, such
as cloud liquid water path, cloud cover, top-of-the-atmosphere radiation
fluxes, precipitation, and surface temperature, large variability and
contradictory results between observations, model simulations, and model
control simulations without a weekly cycle in emissions prevent us from
reaching any firm conclusions about the potential aerosol impact on

pages = {390-405},
abstract = {{Recent geological observations in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars
show evidence for past glacial activity during the late Amazonian,
similar to the integrated glacial landsystems in the Dry Valleys of
Antarctica. The large accumulation of ice (many hundreds of meters)
required to create the observed glacial deposits points to significant
atmospheric precipitation, snow and ice accumulation, and glacial flow.
In order to understand the climate scenario required for these
conditions, we used the LMD (Laboratoire de Météorologie
Dynamique) Mars GCM (General Circulation Model), which is able to
reproduce the present-day water cycle, and to predict past deposition of
ice consistent with geological observations in many cases. Prior to this
analysis, however, significant mid-latitude glaciation had not been
simulated by the model, run under a range of parameters. In this
analysis, we studied the response of the GCM to a wider range of orbital
configurations and water ice reservoirs, and show that during periods of
moderate obliquity ( {$\epsilon$} = 25-35{\deg}) and high dust opacity (
{$\tau$}$_{dust}$ = 1.5-2.5), broad-scale glaciation in the northern
mid-latitudes occurs if water ice deposited on the flanks of the Tharsis
volcanoes at higher obliquity is available for sublimation. We find that
high dust contents of the atmosphere increase its water vapor holding
capacity, thereby moving the saturation region to the northern
mid-latitudes. Precipitation events are then controlled by topographic
forcing of stationary planetary waves and transient weather systems,
producing surface ice distribution and amounts that are consistent with
the geological record. Ice accumulation rates of {\tilde}10 mm yr
$^{-1}$ lead to the formation of a 500-1000 m thick regional ice
sheet that will produce glacial flow patterns consistent with the
geological observations.

for fossil sources of methane, which results in slightly larger GWP

dry with little cloudiness. More extensive cloudiness can be observed
over the Sichuan Basin, in the East China Sea and the South China Sea,

Southern Hemisphere. In the boreal summer, the summer monsoon is the
dominant system for the studied domain, which is generally humid with
extensive cloudiness, corresponding to zones of strong convective

different cloud products over extended areas of north China and
Mongolia. The Sichuan Basin is another region of large discrepancies
among the four cloud products. Diurnal cycles of FY-2C cloudiness for

variation is found over the Tibetan Plateau, the northern part of the

We show that it results from a mathematical artifact caused by a
peculiar definition of uncertainty used by these authors. Applying
standard concepts and definitions of descriptive statistics to the exact

simple framework, reducing inter-model spread on feedbacks does in fact
induce a reduction of uncertainty on climate sensitivity, almost
proportionally. Therefore, following Roe and Baker assumptions, climate

abstract = {{Although the large-scale tropical atmospheric circulations are often
considered as primarily divergent, a simple scale analysis, originally
presented by Charney (1963), suggests otherwise-a dominance of vorticity
over divergence. The present paper quantitatively documents the
asymptotic non-divergence of the large-scale tropical atmosphere, in
association with Madden-Julian oscillations, with use of the Tropical
Ocean Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment,
Large-Scale Array (TOGA-COARE LSA) data set.
The vorticity is larger than the divergence at the majority (70\%-80\%) of
points at any instant for the levels between 850 and 250 hPa, and the
vorticity is more than 10 times stronger than the divergence both at 850
and 500 hPa more than half of the time. The root mean square (rms) ratio
between the transient components of divergence and vorticity, which is
defined as the deviation from the mean for the whole data period,
decreases substantially with increasing horizontal scales from 100 to
2000 km, over an intraseasonal timescale (20-100 d). The analysis
suggests that the Madden-Julian oscillations are dominated more by
vorticity than divergence and more so than at the smaller scales.
The analysis as a whole suggests the feasibility of constructing an
asymptotically non-divergent theory for large-scale tropical
circulations. A brief sketch of the formulation is presented.

problem have recently been proposed. Here, we present an idealized study
of the climate response to deliberately seeding large-scale
stratocumulus cloud decks in the North Pacific, South Pacific, and South
Atlantic, thereby inducing cooling via aerosol indirect effects.
Atmosphere-only, atmosphere/mixed-layer ocean, and fully coupled
atmosphere/ocean versions of the Met Office Hadley Centre model are used
to investigate the radiative forcing, climate efficacy, and regional
response of temperature, precipitation, and net primary productivity to
such geoengineering. The radiative forcing simulations indicate that,
for our parameterization of aerosol indirect effects, up to 35\% of the
radiative forcing due to current levels of greenhouse gases could be
offset by stratocumulus modification. Equilibrium simulations with the
atmosphere/mixed-layer ocean model, wherein each of the three
stratocumulus sheets is modified in turn, reveal that the most efficient
cooling per unit radiative forcing occurs when the South Pacific
stratocumulus sheet is modified. Transient coupled model simulations
suggest that geoengineering all three stratocumulus areas delays the
simulated global warming by about 25 years. These simulations also
indicate that, while some areas experience increases in precipitation
and net primary productivity, sharp decreases are simulated in South
America, with particularly detrimental impacts on the Amazon rain
forest. These results show that, while some areas benefit from
geoengineering, there are significant areas where the response could be
very detrimental with implications for the practical applicability of
such a scheme.

Integrated Forecasting System (IFS). It includes new prognostic
variables for the mass of sea salt, dust, organic matter and black
carbon, and sulphate aerosols, interactive with both the dynamics and
the physics of the model. It details the various parameterizations used
in the IFS to account for the presence of tropospheric aerosols. Details
are given of the various formulations and data sets for the sources of
the different aerosols and of the parameterizations describing their
sinks. Comparisons of monthly mean and daily aerosol quantities like
optical depths against satellite and surface observations are presented.
The capability of the forecast model to simulate aerosol events is
illustrated through comparisons of dust plume events. The ECMWF IFS
provides a good description of the horizontal distribution and temporal
variability of the main aerosol types. The forecast-only model described
here generally gives the total aerosol optical depth within 0.12 of the
relevant observations and can therefore provide the background
trajectory information for the aerosol assimilation system described in
part 2 of this paper.

abstract = {{The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts to control
the stomatal conductance of plants. There is observational and modelling
evidence that an increase in the atmospheric concentration of
CO$_{2}$ would suppress the evapotranspiration (ET) rate over
land. This process is known as CO$_{2}$ physiological forcing and
has been shown to induce changes in surface temperature and continental
runoff. We analyse two transient climate simulations for the
twenty-first century to isolate the climate response to the
CO$_{2}$ physiological forcing. The land surface warming
associated with the decreased ET rate is accompanied by an increase in
the atmospheric lapse rate, an increase in specific humidity, but a
decrease in relative humidity and stratiform cloud over land. We find
that the water vapour feedback more than compensates for the decrease in
latent heat flux over land as far as the budget of atmospheric water
vapour is concerned. There is evidence that surface snow, water vapour
and cloudiness respond to the CO$_{2}$ physiological forcing and
all contribute to further warm the climate system. The climate response
to the CO$_{2}$ physiological forcing has a quite different
signature to that from the CO$_{2}$ radiative forcing, especially
in terms of the changes in the temperature vertical profile and surface
energy budget over land.

climate feedback is not significantly influenced by the effects of
climate change on the carbon system. However, rapid changes take place,
within much less than a year, due to the physiological effect of
CO$_{2}$ on plant stomatal conductance, leading to adjustment in
the shortwave cloud radiative effect over land, due to a reduction in
low cloud cover. This causes a 10\% enhancement to the radiative forcing
due to CO$_{2}$, which leads to an increase in the equilibrium
warming of 0.4 and 0.7 K for doubling and quadrupling. The implications
for calibration of energy-balance models are discussed.
