Monitoring Arctic Environmental Changes Through the Application of the Next Generation Coupled Regional Climate Model by Farshid Daryabor in MAOPS- Lupine Publishers
Global warming is associated with significant polar amplification
feedbacks. But how strong is the amplification? Will it be a slow
increase or will it accelerate in the coming 20-100 years? This is
currently unknown, despite 20 years of research. One of the problems is
that most Arctic processes feedbacks reside in the eddy resolving detail
because of the high latitude nature of the problem with a small Rossby
Radious of deformation. As a result, a high-resolution model is needed
to capture eddy-resolution at high latitude zones. The Arctic
cloud-radiation feedback when coupled with the ice-albedo feedback is
not adequately captured in the current coupled climate models [1],
partly due to the coarse resolutions of both the atmosphere and ocean
models that will fundamentally affect quantification of polar
amplification. The proposed model framework will permit a new
transformative way of thinking about the climate feedbacks
(ocean-atmosphere exchange) in the Arctic both positive and negative.
Changes to the marine biota are known to involve oceanic oxygen and
carbonate chemistry.
