Prof. Dan Schrag will lead the discussion on the Schneider, Kaul, and Pressel (2019) paper titledPossible climate transitions from breakup of stratocumulus decks under greenhouse warming
During the disucssion, Prof. Schrag will lead us through the following...
Prof. Eli Tziperman will lead the discussion on the Millan et al 2018 paper "Vulnerability of Southeast Greenland Glaciers to Warm Atlantic Water From Operation IceBridge and Ocean Melting Greenland Data" (...
Professor Huybers will host a discussion on a recent paper by Resplandy et al. (2018), "Quantification of ocean heat uptake from changes in atmospheric O2 and CO2 composition". The authors posted corrections on RealClimate that lower the ocean heat uptake estimates and widen the uncertainty, but I think it will still be...
Title: "Fingerprinting Fast Changes in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide during the Last Glacial Period”
Bio: Thomas Bauska is currently a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge working with David Hodell on the isotopes of water in hydrated minerals. The overarching goal of his...
Title:"Polar amplification dominated by local forcing and feedbacks"
During the discussion, Zeyuan will be discussing the following points:
1. Using a climate model with regional CO2 forcing, the authors show that the temperature response to a global CO2 forcing can be roughly linearly decomposed into contributions from polar regions, midlatitudes, and Tropics.
2. Polar amplification is dominated by CO2 forcing in the polar regions.
