Local and Remote Forcing Factors of Heatwave in India -A Reanalysis and Adjoint model based study
Abhirup Banerjee, Armin Koehl, Frank Lunkeit +1
Continental heatwaves can dramatically impact ecosystems and societies, e.g., by leading to excess mortality, wildfires, and harvest failures. With a warming climate, their impacts…
A new diagnostic tool for water, energy and entropy budgets in climate models
Valerio Lembo, Frank Lunkeit, Valerio Lucarini
This work presents a novel diagnostic tool for studying the thermodynamics of the climate systems with a wide range of applications, from sensitivity studies to model tuning. It in…
Reconsidering the relationship of the El Niño--Southern Oscillation and the Indian monsoon using ensembles in Earth system models
Mátyás Herein, Gábor Drótos, Tamás Bódai +2
We study the relationship between the El Niño--Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian summer monsoon in ensemble simulations from state-of-the-art climate models, the Max Planc…
Fluctuation Analysis of the Atmospheric Energy Cycle
Richard Blender, Denny Gohlke, Frank Lunkeit
The atmosphere gains available potential energy by solar radiation and dissipates kinetic energy mainly in the atmospheric boundary layer. We analyze the fluctuations of the global…
The role of atmospheric greenhouse gases, orbital parameters, and southern ocean gateways: an idealized model study
Eileen Hertwig, Frank Lunkeit, Klaus Fraedrich
A set of idealized experiments are performed to analyze the competing effects of declining atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the opening of an ocean gateway, and varying orbital para…
Predicting Climate Change using Response Theory: Global Averages and Spatial Patterns
Valerio Lucarini, Frank Lunkeit, Francesco Ragone
The provision of accurate methods for predicting the climate response to anthropogenic and natural forcings is a key contemporary scientific challenge. Using a simplified and effic…
The Impact of Oceanic Heat Transport on the Atmospheric Circulation: a Thermodynamic Perspective
Alexander Schröder, Valerio Lucarini, Frank Lunkeit
The present study investigates how global thermodynamic properties of the climate system are affected by the changes in the intensity of the imposed oceanic heat transport in an at…
A new framework for climate sensitivity and prediction: a modelling perspective
Francesco Ragone, Valerio Lucarini, Frank Lunkeit
The sensitivity of climate models to increasing CO2 concentration and the climate response at decadal time scales are still major factors of uncertainty for the assessment of the l…
Global instability in the Ghil-Sellers model
Tamas Bodai, Valerio Lucarini, Frank Lunkeit +1
The Ghil-Sellers energy balance model of Earth's climate, features -- for a considerable range of the solar intensity -- two stable climate states (a warm and a cold snowball Earth…
Thermodynamics of Climate Change: Generalized Sensitivities
V. Lucarini, K. Fraedrich, F. Lunkeit
Using a recently developed formalism, we present an in-depth analysis of how the thermodynamics of the climate system varies with CO2 concentration by performing experiments with a…
Thermodynamic Analysis of Snowball Earth Hysteresis Experiment: Efficiency, Entropy Production, and Irreversibility
Valerio Lucarini, Klaus Fraedrich, Frank Lunkeit
We present an extensive thermodynamic analysis of a hysteresis experiment performed on a simplified yet Earth-like climate model. We slowly vary the solar constant by 20% around th…
