Global analyses of sea surface temperature, sea ice, and night marine air temperature since the late nineteenth century

Nick A Rayner, D. E. Parker, E. B. Horton et al. · 17 Jul 2003

We present the Met Office Hadley Centre's sea ice and sea surface temperature (SST) data set, HadISST1, and the nighttime marine air temperature (NMAT) data set, HadMAT1. HadISST1 replaces the global sea ice and sea surface temperature (GISST) data sets and is a unique combination of monthly globally complete fields of SST and sea ice…

Radiative transfer for inhomogeneous atmospheres: RRTM, a validated correlated‐k model for the longwave

E. J. Mlawer, Steven J. Taubman, P. Brown et al. · 1 Jul 1997

A rapid and accurate radiative transfer model (RRTM) for climate applications has been developed and the results extensively evaluated. The current version of RRTM calculates fluxes and cooling rates for the longwave spectral region (10–3000 cm −1 ) for an arbitrary clear atmosphere. The molecular species treated in the model are water vapor, carbon dioxide,…

Summarizing multiple aspects of model performance in a single diagram

Karl E. Taylor · 1 Apr 2001

A diagram has been devised that can provide a concise statistical summary of how well patterns match each other in terms of their correlation, their root‐mean‐square difference, and the ratio of their variances. Although the form of this diagram is general, it is especially useful in evaluating complex models, such as those used to study…

Bounding the role of black carbon in the climate system: A scientific assessment

Tami C. Bond, Sarah J. Doherty, D. W. Fahey et al. · 22 Apr 2013

Abstract Black carbon aerosol plays a unique and important role in Earth's climate system. Black carbon is a type of carbonaceous material with a unique combination of physical properties. This assessment provides an evaluation of black‐carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in…

Radiative forcing by long‐lived greenhouse gases: Calculations with the AER radiative transfer models

Michael Iacono, Jennifer Delamere, E. J. Mlawer et al. · 1 Jul 2008

A primary component of the observed recent climate change is the radiative forcing from increased concentrations of long‐lived greenhouse gases (LLGHGs). Effective simulation of anthropogenic climate change by general circulation models (GCMs) is strongly dependent on the accurate representation of radiative processes associated with water vapor, ozone, and LLGHGs. In the context of the increasing…
