- New research may lead to better climate models for global warming, El Niño
12-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
From nine different countries, 150 scientists are starting a program to gain insights about the Earth's climate and the complex system involving the oceans, atmosphere and land. They are studying the Southeastern Pacific Ocean off South America's west coast -- research that should improve global computer climate models, which would lead to improved predictions about global warming and El Niños, said C. Roberto Mechoso, UCLA professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, who chairs the program.

- Southern Ocean could slow global warming
12-05-2006 · EurekAlert!
A new climate model predicts that the Southern Hemisphere Westerly Winds' shift poleward will store carbon dioxide and heat in the deep ocean. Although atmospheric warming will slow, sea level will rise faster.

- New study increases concerns about climate model reliability
12-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study comparing the composite output of 22 leading global climate models with actual climate data finds that the models do an unsatisfactory job of mimicking climate change in key portions of the atmosphere. This research, published online Wednesday in the Royal Meteorological Society's International Journal of Climatology, raises new concerns about the reliability of models used to forecast global warming.

- Antarctic temperatures disagree with climate model predictions
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new report on climate over the world's southernmost continent shows that temperatures during the late 20th century did not climb as had been predicted by many global climate models. This comes soon after the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that strongly supports the conclusion that the Earth's climate as a whole is warming, largely due to human activity. It follows a finding last summer by the same researchers showing no increase in Antarctic precipitation in 50 years.

- Melting of the Greenland ice cap may have consequences for climatic change
05-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
At the last ice age, before the great ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean began to melt, early sporadic episodes of melting of the old ice sheet which covered the British Isles had already begun to affect the circulation of the ocean currents. Based on this observation, scientists consider that the acceleration of the melting of the Greenland ice cap could play an important role in the development of climate change.

- Economists help climate scientists to improve global warming forecasts
01-21-2008 · EurekAlert!
Climate scientists are collaborating with experts in economic theory to improve their forecasting models and assess more accurately the impact of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Although there is broad consensus that there will be a significant rise in average global temperature, there is great uncertainty over the extent of the change, and the implications for different regions.

Aided by new observations from the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) -- Hurricane field program, scientists at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have helped to develop and test a new, high-resolution computer model to better understand how air-sea interactions directly affect hurricane intensity, a factor not yet possible in the current operational forecast models.
