abstract = {{This paper presents the major characteristics of the Institut Pierre
Simon Laplace (IPSL) coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model.
The model components and the coupling methodology are described, as well
as the main characteristics of the climatology and interannual
variability. The model results of the standard version used for IPCC
climate projections, and for intercomparison projects like the
Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP 2) are compared to
those with a higher resolution in the atmosphere. A focus on the North
Atlantic and on the tropics is used to address the impact of the
atmosphere resolution on processes and feedbacks. In the North Atlantic,
the resolution change leads to an improved representation of the
storm-tracks and the North Atlantic oscillation. The better
representation of the wind structure increases the northward salt
transports, the deep-water formation and the Atlantic meridional
overturning circulation. In the tropics, the ocean-atmosphere dynamical
coupling, or Bjerknes feedback, improves with the resolution. The
amplitude of ENSO (El Ni{\~n}o-Southern oscillation) consequently
increases, as the damping processes are left unchanged.

isotopic measurements to estimate the relative influence of large-scale
dynamics, convection, and land surface recycling on the Sahelian water
budget. To this aim, we use isotope data in the lower tropospheric water
vapor measured by the SCIAMACHY and TES satellite instruments and in
situ precipitation data from the Global Network for Isotopes in
Precipitation and collected during the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary
Analysis field campaign, together with water-tagging experiments with
the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique general
circulation model (LMDZ) fitted with isotopes. We show that some
isotopic biases in LMDZ reveal the misrepresentation of dehydrating
processes that would be undetected without isotopic measurements. In dry
regions, the vapor isotopic composition is primarily controlled by the
intensity of the air dehydration. In addition, it may also keep some
memory of dehydration pathways that is erased in the humidity
distribution, namely the relative contribution of dehydration in the
tropical upper troposphere versus midlatitudes. In wet regions, vapor
and rain isotope compositions are primarily controlled by changes in
convection, through rain reevaporation and through the progressive
depletion of the vapor by convective mixing along air mass trajectories.
Gradients in vapor isotope composition along air mass trajectories may
help estimate continental recycling intensity, provided that we could
quantify the effect of convection on the isotopic composition of water
vapor.

abstract = {{Water stable isotopes ({$\delta$} $^{18}$O, {$\delta$}D) are useful
tools to depict and to understand the atmospheric water cycle. In
tropical regions, they record the variations of convective activity and
their implementation in convection schemes brings constraints on our
understanding and parameterization of this phenomena. Here, we present
for the first time measurements of a new isotopic marker of the
hydrological cycle ( $^{17}$O $_{excess}$ resulting from the
combination of {$\delta$} $^{17}$O and {$\delta$} $^{18}$O of
water) in convective regions on two different time scales: (i) during
the African monsoon onset and intra-seasonal variability (Banizoumbou,
2006) and (ii) during the squall line of the 11th of August 2006
(Niamey). $^{17}$O $_{excess}$ responds to the monsoon onset
by a \~{} 30 per meg increase as well as to different convective processes
in squall lines by \~{} 20 per meg variations. These variations parallel
those of d-excess at first order and display significant correlation
with relative humidity in the lower troposphere. Still, higher
correlation coefficients are observed between d-excess and relative
humidity than between $^{17}$O $_{excess}$ and relative
humidity, suggesting a higher influence of relative humidity on d-excess
than on $^{17}$O $_{excess}$. Using a simple reevaporation
model and a more sophisticated 2D model of a squall line, we show that
reevaporation is the process explaining the increase of d-excess and
$^{17}$O $_{excess}$ with relative humidity for these two
studies. We also show that the combination of $^{17}$O
$_{excess}$ and d-excess is a powerful tool to constrain the
representation of isotopic processes during rain reevaporation. In turn,
a good representation of such processes enables to use water isotopes to
evaluate convective parameterization in atmospheric models.

the spatial and seasonal variations of both {$\delta$}$^{18}$O and
deuterium excess. When nudged with reanalyses, LMDZ-iso is able to
capture the synoptic variability of isotopes in winter at a midlatitude
station, and the interannual variability in mid and high latitudes is
strongly improved. The degree of equilibration between the vapor and the
precipitation is strongly sensitive to kinetic effects during rain
reevaporation, calling for more synchronous vapor and precipitation
measurements. We then evaluate the simulations of two past climates:
Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka) and Mid-Holocene (6 ka). A particularity of
LMDZ-iso compared to other isotopic GCMs is that it simulates a lower d
excess during the LGM over most high-latitude regions, consistent with
observations. Finally, we use LMDZ-iso to explore the relationship
between precipitation and {$\delta$}$^{18}$O in the tropics, and we
discuss its paleoclimatic implications. We show that the imprint of
uniform temperature changes on tropical {$\delta$}$^{18}$O is weak.
Large regional changes in {$\delta$}$^{18}$O can, however, be
associated with dynamical changes of precipitation. Using LMDZ as a test
bed for reconstructing past precipitation changes through local
{$\delta$}$^{18}$O records, we show that past tropical precipitation
changes can be well reconstructed qualitatively but not quantitatively.
Over continents, nonlocal effects make the local reconstruction even
less accurate.

regions and during the poleward transport, that could explain the
$^{17}$O excess increase by 20 per meg observed from the Last
Glacial Maximum (LGM) to Early Holocene (EH) at the Vostok station.
Using a single-column model over tropical and subtropical oceans, we
show that the relative humidity at the surface is the main factor
controlling $^{17}$O excess in source regions. Then, using a
Rayleigh-type model, we show that the $^{17}$O excess signal from
the source region is preserved in the polar snowfall, contrary to d
excess. Evaporative recharge over mid and high latitudes and
{$\delta$}$^{18}$O seasonality in polar regions can also affect the
Vostok $^{17}$O excess but cannot account for most of the 20 per
meg deglacial increase from LGM to EH. On the other hand, a decrease of
the relative humidity at the surface (rh$_{s}$) by 8 to 22\% would
explain the observed change in $^{17}$O excess. Such a change
would not necessarily be incompatible with a nearly unchanged boundary
layer relative humidity, if the surface thermodynamic disequilibrium
decreased by 4{\deg}C. Such a change in rh$_{s}$ would affect
source and polar temperatures reconstructions from {$\delta$}$^{18}$O
and d excess measurements, strengthening the interest of $^{17}$O
excess measurements to better constrain such changes.

Polarization L1 data are processed following the same steps as in a
lidar simulator used to diagnose the model cloud cover that CALIPSO

GCMs, and then cloud diagnostics are inferred from these profiles:
vertical distribution of cloud fraction, horizontal distribution of low,
middle, high, and total cloud fractions, instantaneous SR profiles, and
SR histograms as a function of height. Results are presented for
different seasons (January-March 2007-2008 and June-August 2006-2008),

investigated. It is shown that the choice of the vertical resolution and
of the SR threshold value used for cloud detection can modify the cloud

tropical marine low-level cloud fraction is larger during nighttime (by
up to 0.15) than during daytime. The histograms of SR characterize the

emissions will increase over the next century. Uncertainties arise from
the temperature dependence of emissions and changes in the geographical
distribution of wetland areas. Another major concern is the possible
degradation or thaw of terrestrial permafrost due to climate change. The
amount of carbon stored in permafrost, the rate at which it will thaw,
and the ratio of methane to carbon dioxide emissions upon decomposition
form the main uncertainties. Large amounts of methane are also stored in
marine hydrates, and they could be responsible for large emissions in
the future. The time scales for destabilization of marine hydrates are
not well understood and are likely to be very long for hydrates found in
deep sediments but much shorter for hydrates below shallow waters, such
as in the Arctic Ocean. Uncertainties are dominated by the sizes and
locations of the methane hydrate inventories, the time scales associated
with heat penetration in the ocean and sediments, and the fate of
methane released in the seawater. Overall, uncertainties are large, and
it is difficult to be conclusive about the time scales and magnitudes of
methane feedbacks, but significant increases in methane emissions are
likely, and catastrophic emissions cannot be ruled out. We also identify
gaps in our scientific knowledge and make recommendations for future
research and development in the context of Earth system modeling.

global temperature change potential (GTP) metric, which relates the
global average surface temperature change induced by the pulse emission

to characterize the impact of changes in emissions of ozone precursors

sign to the perturbations in ozone and carbon dioxide, so NO$_{x}$
emissions are warming in the short term, but cooling in the long term.
For volatile organic compound (VOC), CO, and methane emissions, all the
terms are warming for an increase in emissions. The GTPs for the 20 year
time horizon are strong functions of emission location, with a large
component of the variability owing to the different vegetation responses
on different continents. At this time horizon, the induced change in the

1.2 {\plusmn} 0.2 Tg of sulfur dioxide into the upper troposphere and
lower stratosphere, making it arguably one of the 10 largest
stratospheric injections in the last 50 years. During the period
immediately after the eruption, we show that the sulfur dioxide
(SO$_{2}$) cloud was clearly detected by retrievals developed for
the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) satellite
instrument and that the resultant stratospheric sulfate aerosol was
detected by the Optical Spectrograph and Infrared Imaging System
(OSIRIS) limb sounder and CALIPSO lidar. Additional surface-based
instrumentation allows assessment of the impact of the eruption on the
stratospheric aerosol optical depth. We use a nudged version of the
HadGEM2 climate model to investigate how well this state-of-the-science
climate model can replicate the distributions of SO$_{2}$ and
sulfate aerosol. The model simulations and OSIRIS measurements suggest
that in the Northern Hemisphere the stratospheric aerosol optical depth
was enhanced by around a factor of 3 (0.01 at 550 nm), with resultant
impacts upon the radiation budget. The simulations indicate that, in the
Northern Hemisphere for July 2009, the magnitude of the mean radiative
impact from the volcanic aerosols is more than 60\% of the direct
radiative forcing of all anthropogenic aerosols put together. While the
cooling induced by the eruption will likely not be detectable in the
observational record, the combination of modeling and measurements would
provide an ideal framework for simulating future larger volcanic
eruptions.

crater fill and a younger superposed annulus of valleys encircling the
margins of the crater floor. These valleys provide an opportunity to
study the relationships of gully geomorphology as a function of changing
slope orientation relative to solar insolation. We found that the level
of development of gullies was highly correlated with slope orientation
and solar insolation. The largest and most complex gully systems, with
the most well-developed fluvial landforms, are restricted to pole-facing
slopes. In contrast, gullies on equator-facing slopes are smaller, more
poorly developed and integrated, more highly degraded, and contain more
impact craters. We used a 1D version of the Laboratoire de
Météorologie Dynamique GCM, and slope geometries
(orientation and angle), driven by predicted spin-axis/orbital parameter
history, to assess the distribution and history of surface temperatures
in these valleys during recent geological history. Surface temperatures
on pole-facing slopes preferential for water ice accumulation and
subsequent melting are predicted to occur as recently as 0.5-2.1 Ma,
which is consistent with age estimates of gully activity elsewhere on
Mars. In contrast, the 1D model predicts that water ice cannot
accumulate on equator-facing slopes until obliquities exceed 45{\deg},
suggesting they are unlikely to have been active over the last 5 Ma. The
correlation of the temperature predictions and the geological evidence
for age differences suggests that there were two phases of gully
formation in the last few million years: an older phase in which
top-down melting occurred on equator-facing slopes and a younger more
robust phase on pole-facing slopes. The similarities of small-scale
fluvial erosion features seen in the gullies on Mars and those observed
in gullies cut by seasonal and perennial snowmelt in the Antarctic Dry
Valleys supports a top-down melting origin for these gullies on Mars.

abstract = {{The emission of dimethyl-sulphide (DMS) gas by phytoplankton and the
subsequent formation of aerosol has long been suggested as an important
climate regulation mechanism. The key aerosol quantity is the number
concentration of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), but until recently
global models did not include the necessary aerosol physics to quantify
CCN. Here we use a global aerosol microphysics model to calculate the
sensitivity of CCN to changes in DMS emission using multiple present-day
and future sea-surface DMS climatologies. Calculated annual fluxes of
DMS to the atmosphere for the five model-derived and one observations
based present day climatologies are in the range 15.1 to 32.3 Tg
a$^{-1}$ sulphur. The impact of DMS climatology on surface
level CCN concentrations was calculated in terms of summer and winter
hemispheric mean values of {$\Delta$}CCN/{$\Delta$}Flux$_{DMS}$, which
varied between -43 and +166 cm$^{-3}$/(mg
m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ sulphur), with a mean of 63
cm$^{-3}$/(mg m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$
sulphur). The range is due to CCN production in the atmosphere being
strongly dependent on the spatial distribution of the emitted DMS. The
relative sensitivity of CCN to DMS (i.e. fractional change in CCN
divided by fractional change in DMS flux) depends on the abundance of
non-DMS derived aerosol in each hemisphere. The relative sensitivity
averaged over the five present day DMS climatologies is estimated to be
0.02 in the northern hemisphere (i.e. a 0.02\% change in CCN for a 1\%
change in DMS) and 0.07 in the southern hemisphere where aerosol
abundance is lower. In a globally warmed scenario in which the DMS flux
increases by \~{}1\% relative to present day we estimate a \~{}0.1\% increase in
global mean CCN at the surface. The largest CCN response occurs in the
Southern Ocean, contributing to a Southern Hemisphere mean annual
increase of less than 0.2\%. We show that the changes in DMS flux and CCN
concentration between the present day and global warming scenario are
similar to interannual differences due to variability in windspeed. In
summary, although DMS makes a significant contribution to global marine
CCN concentrations, the sensitivity of CCN to potential future changes
in DMS flux is very low. This finding, together with the predicted small
changes in future seawater DMS concentrations, suggests that the role of
DMS in climate regulation is very weak.

used simplified temperature forcing. The circulation is analyzed after
350 Venus days (111 Earth years). Superrotation is obtained above
roughly 40 km altitude. Below, the zonal wind remains very small
compared to observed values, which is a major pending question. The
meridional circulation consists of equator-to-pole cells, the dominant
one being located within the cloud layers. The modeled temperature
structure is globally consistent with observations, though discrepancies
persist in the stability of the lowest layers and equator-pole
temperature contrast within the clouds (10 K in the model compared to
the observed 40 K). In agreement with observational data, a convective
layer is found between the base of the clouds (around 47 km) and the
middle of the clouds (55-60 km altitude). The transport of angular
momentum is analyzed, and comparison between the reference simulation
and a simulation without diurnal cycle illustrates the role played by
thermal tides in the equatorial region. Without diurnal cycle, the
Gierasch-Rossow-Williams mechanism controls angular momentum transport.
The diurnal tides add a significant downward transport of momentum in
the equatorial region, causing low latitude momentum accumulation.

Nevertheless, there remains a high level of uncertainty in the current
estimates of contrail radiative forcing. Contrail formation depends
mostly on the aircraft flying in cold and moist enough air masses. Most
studies to date have relied on simple parameterizations using averaged
meteorological conditions. In this paper we take into account the
short-term variability in background cloudiness by developing an on-line
contrail parameterization for the UK Met Office climate model. With this
parameterization, we estimate that for the air traffic of year 2002 the
global mean annual linear contrail coverage was approximately 0.11\%.
Assuming a global mean contrail optical depth of 0.2 or smaller and
assuming hexagonal ice crystals, the corresponding contrail radiative
forcing was calculated to be less than 10 mW m$^{-2}$ in all-sky
conditions. We find that the natural cloud masking effect on contrails
may be significantly higher than previously believed. This new result is
explained by the fact that contrails seem to preferentially form in
cloudy conditions, which ameliorates their overall climate impact by
approximately 40\%.

abstract = {{The water and energy cycles are major elements of the Earth climate.
These cycles are especially active in the intertropical belt where
satellites provide the most suitable observational platform. The history
of Earth observations of the water cycle and of the radiation budget
viewed from space reveals that the fundamental questions from the early
times are still relevant for today's research. The last 2 decades have
seen a number of milestones regarding the documentation of rainfall,
mesoscale convective systems (MCS), water vapour and radiation at the
top of the atmosphere (TOA). Beyond dedicated missions that provided
enhanced characterizations of some elements of the atmospheric water
cycle and field campaigns that allowed the gathering of validation data,
the advent of the long record of meteorological satellites lead to new
questioning on the homogenisation of the data time series, etc. The use
of this record to document the tropical climate brought new results of
the distribution of humidity and reinforced the understanding of some
robust features of the African monsoon. Challenges for the immediate
future concerns the deepening of the understanding of the role of cloud
systems in the monsoon circulation, the downscaling of the documentation
of the water and energy cycle at the scale of these cloud systems, the
research of better adequation between the users and the satellite
estimate of rainfall and finally a much needed methodological effort to
build exploitable time series for the estimation of climatic trends in
the water and energy cycle in the Tropics. The required observations to
address these challenges are rapidly presented with emphasis on the
upcoming Megha-Tropiques (MT) mission.

title = {{A review of natural aerosol interactions and feedbacks within the Earth system}},
journal = {Atmospheric Chemistry \& Physics},
year = 2010,
month = feb,
volume = 10,
pages = {1701-1737},
abstract = {{The natural environment is a major source of atmospheric aerosols,
including dust, secondary organic material from terrestrial biogenic
emissions, carbonaceous particles from wildfires, and sulphate from
marine phytoplankton dimethyl sulphide emissions. These aerosols also
have a significant effect on many components of the Earth system such as
the atmospheric radiative balance and photosynthetically available
radiation entering the biosphere, the supply of nutrients to the ocean,
and the albedo of snow and ice. The physical and biological systems that
produce these aerosols can be highly susceptible to modification due to
climate change so there is the potential for important climate
feedbacks. We review the impact of these natural systems on atmospheric
aerosol based on observations and models, including the potential for
long term changes in emissions and the feedbacks on climate. The number
of drivers of change is very large and the various systems are strongly
coupled. There have therefore been very few studies that integrate the
various effects to estimate climate feedback factors. Nevertheless,
available observations and model studies suggest that the regional
radiative perturbations are potentially several Watts per square metre
due to changes in these natural aerosol emissions in a future climate.
Taking into account only the direct radiative effect of changes in the
atmospheric burden of natural aerosols, and neglecting potentially large
effects on other parts of the Earth system, a global mean radiative
perturbation approaching 1 W m$^{-2}$ is possible by the end
of the century. The level of scientific understanding of the climate
drivers, interactions and impacts is very low.

abstract = {{The Beijing Climate Center atmospheric general circulation model version
2.0.1 (BCC\_AGCM2.0.1) is described and its performance in simulating the
present-day climate is assessed. BCC\_AGCM2.0.1 originates from the
community atmospheric model version 3 (CAM3) developed by the National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The dynamics in BCC\_AGCM2.0.1
is, however, substantially different from the Eulerian spectral
formulation of the dynamical equations in CAM3, and several new physical
parameterizations have replaced the corresponding original ones. The
major modification of the model physics in BCC\_AGCM2.0.1 includes a new
convection scheme, a dry adiabatic adjustment scheme in which potential
temperature is conserved, a modified scheme to calculate the sensible
heat and moisture fluxes over the open ocean which takes into account
the effect of ocean waves on the latent and sensible heat fluxes, and an
empirical equation to compute the snow cover fraction. Specially, the
new convection scheme in BCC\_AGCM2.0.1, which is generated from the
Zhang and McFarlane{\rsquo}s scheme but modified, is tested to have
significant improvement in tropical maximum but also the subtropical
minimum precipitation, and the modified scheme for turbulent fluxes are
validated using EPIC2001 in situ observations and show a large
improvement than its original scheme in CAM3. BCC\_AGCM2.0.1 is forced by
observed monthly varying sea surface temperatures and sea ice
concentrations during 1949-2000. The model climatology is compiled
for the period 1971-2000 and compared with the ERA-40 reanalysis
products. The model performance is evaluated in terms of energy budgets,
precipitation, sea level pressure, air temperature, geopotential height,
and atmospheric circulation, as well as their seasonal variations.
Results show that BCC\_AGCM2.0.1 reproduces fairly well the present-day
climate. The combined effect of the new dynamical core and the updated
physical parameterizations in BCC\_AGCM2.0.1 leads to an overall
improvement, compared to the original CAM3.
