The workshop is an initiative of the Bolin Centre Research Area 1 in collaboration with David Battisti at the University of Washington. The workshop focuses primarily on the aspects of the meridional overturning circulation directly related to physical aspects of the climate. e.g., heat transport and sea-ice distribution. A key motivation of the workshop is to critically review and discuss the current flora of mechanisms/features that have been proposed to elevate the salinity of the Atlantic Basin, and thereby localizing the Northern Hemisphere deep sinking. One topic to be considered is if it is possible to quantify and rank these mechanisms/features and also whether new data and modeling make it possible to dismiss some of the hypothesized mechanisms — a question of relevance for the role of the Atlantic Ocean circulation in past and future climates. The workshop will cover some paleo-climate perspectives connected to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. The workshop will be held on Frescati Campus (likely in the Geoscience Building) and we will soon announce a detailed schedule of the event, which includes in addition to local speakers a relevantly assembled list of invited international speakers: David Battisti, University of Washington Paula Cessi, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Arnaud Czaja, Imperial College Henk Dijkstra, Utrecht University David Ferriera, University of Reading Joe LaCasce, Oslo University David Marshall, University of Oxford Jerry MacManus, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Tapio Schneider, ETH Best regards, Johan Nilsson, Rodrigo Caballero, and David Battisti _______________________________________________ Bolincentret-at-su.se mailing list Bolincentret-at-su.se at lists.su.se https://lists.su.se/mailman/listinfo/bolincentret-at-su.se -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Amazon Basin represents one of the most pristine and natural continental sites but polluted situations occur with the perturbations of tropical megacity pollution and biomass burning emissions. Past studies showed very complex interactions between chemistry, aerosols, clouds, and meteorology, and therefore, a challenge to understand and model convection and precipitation in the region. Very recent field experiments, including GoAmazon2014/15 and ACRIDICON-CHUVA, have been conducted over the Amazon region to reveal new insights in the complex interactions in Amazonia. This special session will discuss the new observational and modeling studies on meteorology, aerosols, clouds, convection and precipitation and the associated interactions related to the GoAmazon2014/15 and ACRIDICON-CHUVA. We will have invited talks, contributed oral and poster presentations. Student presentations are particularly encouraged. Cash prizes and a certificate from AMS will be awarded to outstanding first author student presentations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Meinrat O.

Testing times for climate models: A 1000-year time-space rainfall reconstruction for southern Africa 14:00, 17 August 2015, at GE-T433 (T40) Abstract: Isotopic analysis of three tree species: Baobabs (Adansonia digitata), Yellowwoods (Podocarps falcatus) and Camel thorn (Acacia erioloba) have yielded a 1000-year proxy record of rainfall in southern Africa. The spatial/temporal record provides insight into the climate system response to global forcing events such as the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period. High resolution proxies such as this provide an excellent test scenario to test global climate change model skill. They also deepen our understanding of the climate system by supplementing the poor instrumental record for the region. The data suggest that tropical forcing (El Nino Southern Oscillation) has less influence on inter-annual rainfall variability than extratropical forcing (Southern Annular mode).

Its goal is to provide information on the climate, climate change and impacts as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies specifically tailored to climate service users such as economic, scientific, administrative and political bodies. Manuscript submission is now open. Further information *Conference Outcome “Our Common Future under climate Change”, 7-10 July 2015, Paris *Over 2200 people (scientists, policy makers etc.) participated in the pre-COP21 conference 7-10 July 2015, in Paris. This scientific conference prepared the Climate Conference COP 21 in December 2015 by gathering scientific results and providing recommendations for political action (e.g. mitigation and adaptation options). Outcome statements, videos, pictures and presentations are available. Further information arctic *Increase of Arctic sea ice volume in 2013 *While the extent of Arctic sea ice has been documented to decline since the 1970s, quantifying trends in its volume is more difficult. Now, using CryoSat-2 measurements, researchers at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM), UK find that sea ice thickness and volume increased in autumn 2013 and 2014, offsetting the losses of the 2010-2012 period. This was caused by a reduction in the number of melting days. Even though this is a short-term fluctuation during a long-term trend of decreasing ice, it shows that Arctic sea ice may recover more quickly than previously thought. Read the article high impact events *A different framing for the attribution of climate extreme events *While the attribution of extreme events is desirable, it often focuses on either anthropogenic or natural causes, and further struggles with dynamically driven extremes. Thus, this study suggest an attribution framework that asks why an extreme event unfolds the way it does and whether known changes in the thermodynamic state of the climate system affect the impact of that extreme. The specific events that were studied (e.g. superstorm Sandy in 2012) were all influenced by high sea surface temperatures, which in turn had human causes. Read the article sea level *Modelling the vulnerability of coastal environments to sea level rise* Sea level rise threatens coastal habitats through erosion, salt water intrusion and flooding. Systems that identify and reduce risks are therefore crucial. The authors of this study developed a ranking system that models vulnerability to sea level rise as a function of six input parameters defined by wetland experts. They applied this model under RCP8.5 sea level projections. Like this, areas of high vulnerability and hence priority areas for future management efforts can be identified. Read the article hydrological cycles *Evaluation of regional reanalyses and downscalings for precipitation in the Alps* This study examines how several European-scale regional reanalyses and downscaling datasets represent the characteristics of precipitation in the complex topography of the Alpine region. Using high resolution rain-gauge observations as a reference, the researchers at MeteoSwiss find that, among others, the new regional reanalyses show richer spatial variations than the global reanalysis (ERA-Interim) but that they also show biases and shifts in regional anomalies. The accuracy of datasets furthermore depends on the density of station time series. Read the article [image: EU PRESS RELEASES] dg climate action *Proposal to revise EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)* The European Commission presented a legislative proposal to revise the EU ETS for the period after 2020 in line with the 2030 climate and energy policy framework. This will contribute to the target of reducing European emissions by 40% by 2030 and is part of the EU’s contribution to the new climate deal to be adopted in Paris later this year. Yet, a point of criticism is that the proposal does not sufficiently address issues of oversupply of permits and permit distribution.

Battisti from University of Washington. Speaker: David S. Battisti, University of Washington Date: Friday 11 September, 2015, 14–15 Place: Högbom room, Geoscience Building Historical and proxy data of climate show that the period 1600-1850 CE was unusually cold compared to the climate of the past millennium. This period is called the Little Ice Age. In this talk, I will briefly review the evidence for this cold period and then examine the results from PMIP3 program to simulate the climate of the last millennium, including the Little Ice Age, using the CMIP5 climate models. I will then present an analysis to illuminate the cause of the cooling during the Little Ice Age. Radiative forcings and climate feedbacks are quantified for each climate model using the Approximate Partial Radiative Perturbation method and radiative kernels. Analysis shows that the Little Ice Age cooling is largely driven by volcanic forcing (comprising an average of 77% of the total forcing among models), while contributions due to changes in insolation (10%) and greenhouse gas concentrations (13%) are substantially lower. The combination of these forcings directly contributes to 40% of the global cooling during the LIA, while the remainder of the cooling arises due to the Planck response and the sum of the climate feedbacks. The dominant positive feedbacks is the water vapor feedback, which contributes 29% of the global cooling.

Unusal time* Room C609, Arrhenius Laboratory, 6th floor *Abstract* A two-dimensional regime diagram for geostrophic turbulence in the ocean is constructed by plotting observation-based estimates of the nondimensional eddy radius and unsuppressed mixing length against a nonlinearity parameter equal to the ratio of the root-mean square eddy velocity and baroclinic Rossby phase speed. For weak nonlinearity, as found in the tropics, the mixing length mostly corresponds to the stability threshold for baroclinic instability whereas the eddy radius corresponds to the Rhines scale; it is suggested that this mismatch is indicative of the inverse energy cascade that occurs at low latitudes in the ocean and the zonal elongation of eddies. At larger values of nonlinearity, as found at mid- and high-latitudes, the eddy length scales are much shorter than the stability threshold, within a factor of 2.5 of the Rossby deformation radius. *Welcome!* See all seminars: www.misu.su.se -------------- next part -------------- En HTML-bilaga skiljdes ut...

We would like to draw your attention to the following article in *The Cryosphere *with the title *‘Future avenues for permafrost science from the perspective of early career researchers’*. This is an outcome of this workshop which is finally published now after open discussion. Find it here: http://www.the-cryosphere.net/9/1715/2015/tc-9-1715-2015.html Our manuscript is a contribution about the future of permafrost research to the 3rd International Conference on Arctic Research Planning 2015 (ICARP III). We summarize the top five research questions for the next decade of permafrost science from the perspective of early career researchers (ECRs). We highlight the pathways and structural preconditions to address these research priorities. This manuscript is an outcome of a community consultation conducted for and by ECRs on a global level. Thank you very much for your support! You will be fast reading it because it is a short communication. Comments are welcome. Best regards, Matthias Siewert and Ylva Sjöberg (on behalf of the authors) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
