Abstract:
The objective of the analysis will be to define the range of plausible responses in moisture flux balance, salinity, and ocean meridional overturning strength in response climate change accompanying increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations. I will be performing the analysis. MODEL RUN REQUESTED 1% CO2 run to quadrupling with an additional 150 years with CO2 fixed at 4x MODEL DATA REQUIRED Time-independent 2-d land surface data: surface altitude land area fraction Annual mean 2-d atmosphere or land surface data: precipitation flux air temperature (near surface or 2-m) surface upward latent heat flux surface temperature atmosphere water vapor content runoff flux specific humidity Annual mean 2-d ocean data: ocean meridional overturning streamfunction Annual mean 2-d ocean or sea-ice data: sea surface temperature water flux into ocean water flux correction where ocean Annual mean 3-d ocean data: sea water salinity sea water potential temperature sea water potential density
