Oceanic carbon may help track hurricanes part of SERC Web Resource Collection
Satellite measurements of dissolved organic carbon in the wake of oceanic hurricanes and typhoons provide a new way to estimate the atmosphere-ocean interaction during the major storms. Satellite ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
Volcanic eruption produces smaller than expected climate effects part of SERC Web Resource Collection
Climate changes after the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines were quantified. Results show that worldwide temperature change and the magnitude of climate response following the event are ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights

A 20th century acceleration in global sea level rise part of SERC Web Resource Collection
Global mean sea level from 1870 to 2004 was estimated using tide-gauge data and reductions of large matrices of satellite spatial data. It was found that the sea level likely rose 195 millimeters. ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
Weakened thermohaline circulation will increase snow cover over Europe part of SERC Web Resource Collection
A high resolution regional climate model nested into a global climate model was used to perform a Thermohaline Circulation (THC) slowdown experiment. Freshwater corresponding to one-sixth of the ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
Natural ocean cycles will soon weaken thermohaline circulation part of SERC Web Resource Collection
A 1,400-year simulation replicating the observed pattern and amplitude of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) was examined to determine whether the AMO really is oscillatory. Results imply ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
Distinguishing climate controls at the equator part of SERC Web Resource Collection
A coupled ocean-atmosphere model study investigates how weather conditions outside the tropics affect climate at the equator. It is the first study to distinguish specific causes for changes in ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
New scaling factor may improve global circulation models part of SERC Web Resource Collection
A revised estimate for a variable used to calculate the size of water droplets in clouds is proposed. This may provide an improved method to study the influence of man-made aerosols on cloud physics. ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
Climate models should include carbon dioxide increases part of SERC Web Resource Collection
The specific impacts of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations during the Australian summer were examined. It was found that plant response to increased carbon dioxide influences ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
First tropical warm rain estimates could improve global climate models part of SERC Web Resource Collection
This study breaks down the type of rainfall in the tropical zones. Microwave images and radar data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission were examined. It was found that approximately 72 ...Resource Type: Overview/Reference Work: Scientific Resources:Overview/Reference Work:AGU Highlights
