Abstract. Projections of future climate change play a fundamental role in improving understanding the system as well characterizing societal risks and response options. The Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (ScenarioMIP) is primary activity within Phase 6 Coupled (CMIP6) that will provide multi-model projections based on alternative scenarios emissions land use changes produced with integrated assessment models. In this paper, we describe ScenarioMIP's objectives, experimental design,...
Abstract Eleven coupled climate–carbon cycle models used a common protocol to study the coupling between climate change and carbon cycle. The were forced by historical emissions Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A2 anthropogenic of CO2 for 1850–2100 time period. For each model, two simulations performed in order isolate impact land ocean cycle, therefore feedback atmospheric concentration growth rate. There was unanimous agreement...
The severity of damaging human-induced climate change depends not only on the magnitude but also potential for irreversibility. This paper shows that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible 1,000 years after emissions stop. Following cessation emissions, removal atmospheric decreases radiative forcing, compensated by slower loss heat ocean, so temperatures do drop significantly at least years. Among illustrative impacts should be expected if...
This work presents a new dynamic global vegetation model designed as an extension of existing surface‐vegetation‐atmosphere transfer scheme which is included in coupled ocean‐atmosphere general circulation model. The simulates the principal processes continental biosphere influencing carbon cycle (photosynthesis, autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration plants soils, fire, etc.) well latent, sensible, kinetic energy exchanges at surface soils plants. As model, it explicitly represents...
Abstract. Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate – “global budget” is important to better understand global cycle, support development policies, project future change. Here we describe synthesize data sets methodology quantify five major components budget uncertainties. Fossil CO2 (EFOS) are based on energy statistics cement production data, while from land-use...
We present the global general circulation model IPSL-CM5 developed to study long-term response of climate system natural and anthropogenic forcings as part 5th Phase Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). This includes an interactive carbon cycle, a representation tropospheric stratospheric chemistry, comprehensive aerosols. As it represents principal dynamical, physical, bio-geochemical processes relevant system, may be referred Earth System Model. However, used in multitude...

Abstract This study tests the ability of five Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), forced with observed climatology and atmospheric CO 2 , to model contemporary global carbon cycle. The DGVMs are also coupled a fast ‘climate analogue model’, based on Hadley Centre General Circulation Model (GCM), run into future for four Special Report Emission Scenarios (SRES): A1FI, A2, B1, B2. Results show that all consistent land budget. Under more extreme projections environmental change, responses...

The difference is found at the margins terrestrial biosphere absorbs about a quarter of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, but amount that they take up varies from year to year. Why? Combining models and observations, Ahlström et al. marginal ecosystems—semiarid savannas low-latitude shrublands—are responsible for most variability. Biological productivity in these semiarid regions water-limited strongly associated with variations precipitation, unlike wetter tropical areas....

Urban heat island is among the most evident aspects of human impacts on earth system. Here we assess diurnal and seasonal variation surface urban intensity (SUHII) defined as temperature difference between area suburban measured from MODIS. Differences in SUHII are analyzed across 419 global big cities, several potential biophysical socio-economic driving factors. Across show that average annual daytime (1.5 ± 1.2 °C) higher than nighttime (1.1 0.5 (P < 0.001). But no correlation found...
