2018 (Fig. 2018 (our Fig. While these simulations assimilate observational data, over most of the ocean surface these are basically sea surface temperatures, but surface heat loss depends also on air temperature, wind speed, humidity, radiation and cloud cover in complex ways, all of which are not accurately known.

CMIP6: Not-so-sudden stratospheric cooling

Real Climate

In the band of radiation where CO2 absorbs a lot (~15 $mu$m), increasing CO2 levels in the troposphere make it ever harder for those photons to get to the stratosphere or above. 9919-9933, 2018. Thompson et al. We are using the NOAA-STAR version 3.0 of these products (Zou et al., The basic concept is easy to grasp though. Rozanov, A.

Phantastic Job!

There was a workshop in 2018 (that I attended) to discuss how one might go about doing something better – updating the data, improving quality control, and using models to better connect local or regional signals to the global means. and, like many of us, had found the then-current literature somewhat unsatisfactory. 0.6ºC (95% CI).

Fortunately, Manabe recently wrote a retrospective on his early work in response to receiving the Crafoord prize in 2018. 2018 ), but I think it’s fair to say that few modelers think it’s a useful tool anymore. In his 2018 retrospective, Manabe doesn’t discuss the issue at all. 9335-9350, 2018.
