Review Article by Jing-Jia Luo : Ocean dynamics not required?

posted Oct 22, 2011 6:13 AM by gibies george   [ updated Oct 23, 2011 3:49 AM ]

 
  "The underlying mechanisms of decadal and multidecadal climate variation in the tropical Pacific are unknown. A lack of ocean observations means that the precise roles of the ocean — particularly the role of subsurface signals originating from the extratropics, the regions poleward of the tropics — remain controversial. There is even debate over whether the decadal ENSO-like mode is a physical entity or an artefact arising from the nonlinearity of ocean–atmosphere coupling. Similar debates have been sparked by attempts to detect and project tropical Pacific climate change under global warming: will increased anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions lead to an El Niño-like state, or the opposite (a La Niña-like state)? Clement and colleagues' work supports neither of the two scenarios, but questions the importance of the Bjerknes feedback, the core element of prevailing hypotheses." Jing-Jia Luo

Agro-Climate Feedback

posted Apr 27, 2011 7:51 PM by gibies george   [ updated Apr 27, 2011 8:26 PM ]

The expanding sugar cane into existing crop and pasture land has a direct local cooling effect that reinforces the indirect climate benefits of this land-use option. Sugar cane cultivation cause direct, local climate changes by altering surface albedo and evapotranspiration. Expanding biofuel production in Brazil give these evidences.

Moist Potential Temperature

posted Mar 21, 2011 9:55 PM by gibies george   [ updated Mar 21, 2011 9:58 PM ]

This is a really creative work by Pascal Marquet.

The aim of the article is ‘to arrive at a definition of a moist potential temperature which could be regarded as a direct measure of the moist entropy’, not only for adiabatic and closed systems, but also for open systems where qd and qt are not conservative.

Seasonal Sink for CO2

posted Feb 10, 2011 9:28 PM by gibies george   [ updated Feb 10, 2011 9:41 PM ]


H. Jesse Smith

It is widely understood that the Southern Ocean (all of the ocean south of about 30°S latitude) is a net sink for atmospheric CO2, but estimates of how much CO2 it removes from the atmosphere vary widely, mostly due to a lack of sufficient observational constraints, particularly in the Southern Pacific. In order to quantify and characterize CO2 uptake in that region, Barberoet al. measured CO2 partial pressure and a variety of other parameters related to CO2 dynamics in the surface ocean of the Pacific Subantarctic Zone (approximately 40°S to 55°S) on four cruises conducted between 2004 and 2006 and with instruments on surface drifters. From these measurements, they were able to describe the variability in air-sea CO2 exchange on a basin-wide scale, as well as the relationships observed between CO2 parameters, ocean mixed-layer depth, and temperature—information that helped them construct a better dynamical picture of the CO2 exchange occurring there. They found that the Pacific Subantarctic Zone is a CO2 sink during spring and summer and is close to equilibrium or is a weak source during the winter. On an annual basis, the Pacific Subantarctic Zone is a sink for atmospheric CO2 but a weaker one than previously suggested. More of this type of work is needed to determine the finer-scale details of CO2 uptake by the Southern Ocean.
