The Effect of Cumulus Convection on CO2-Induced Climate Change in the Tropics

摘要: CO 2 -induced climate change related to the effect of cumulus convection on vertical profile water vapor was studied using a one-dimensional radiative convective model with Arakawa-Schubert parameterization that accounts for drying convection. Annual mean tropical solar forcing is used because most active in tropics. Since moisture and heat transport by large-scale motion (LS forcing) are important balance tropics, two types doubling C02 experiments were conducted without considering LS forcing. The increase specific humidity small above middle troposphere surface temperature much smaller than obtained three-dimensional CO2 experiment. When specified, however, increases significantly throughout enhanced similar degree as enhances under control concentration, while contributes enhance changes due doubling. Thus, magnitude response very sensitive This means it incorporate effects when investigating changes.
