Climate feedbacks for global warming

Review of last lecture Mean state: The two basic regions of SST? Which region has stronger rainfall? What is the Walker circulation? Two types of ocean upwelling Mean state: ocean-atmosphere feedback ENSO: Which region has warm SST anomaly during El Nino? 4- year period. Existing ENSO theories AMO and thermohaline circulation

Global connections

The most common atmospheric circulation structure L H H L Heating Cooling or No Heating Imbalance of heating  Imbalance of temperature  Imbalance of pressure  Wind Radiation Convection Conduction Latent/Sensible Biosphere Land/Ocean/Ice/Stra tosphere Feedback Greenhouse Gases Pollution Clouds Precipitation (Latent heat)

How do human activities change the global climate? Human beings are changing the global climate system in three different ways: Change land cover (deforestation and afforestation) Release or cleanse pollutants (aerosols) Release or cleanse greenhouse gases

Observed Change in Global Temperature: Significant warming

Global map of temperature change: Largest warming in Arctic (“Arctic amplification”) Larger warming over land than ocean

Projected Change in Global Temperature: Significant warming

The spread comes from uncertainties in climate feedbacks

Main climate feedbacks for global warming Ice albedo Lapse rate (temperature) Water vapor Cloud Aerosol Carbon cycle

Ice albedo feedback

Lapse rate feedback Surface Tropopaus e Surface warming Same lapse rate Larger Longwave flux Warming of whole troposphere Cooling down of surface temperature

Water vapor feedback

Cloud feedback Stronger warming effect Stronger cooling effect

Summary Large spread in projected temperature change comes from uncertainties in climate feedbacks Main climate feedbacks for global warming: albedo, lapse rate, water vapor, cloud, aerosol, carbon cycle Feedback strength in climate models: cloud feedback causes the largest uncertainty Past abrupt climate change Tipping points Future abrupt climate change
