Research on Greenhouse-Gas-Induced Climate Change

这是一个为期4年的项目，调查（1）温室气体- （2）温室气体引起的平衡气候变化 瞬态气候变化;（3）云光学厚度反馈。 一个耦合的海洋-大气GCM将被用来执行几个 不同CO2辐射下的百年气候模拟 强迫场景 这次调查很重要因为它很成功 完成将有助于确定是否有可能检测到 过去100年气候记录中的温室效应信号 年，以及云光学厚度的变化是否会增强 或者减缓全球变暖

This a 4-year project to investigate (1) greenhouse-gas- induced equilibrium climate change (2) greenhouse-gas-induced transient climate change, and (3) cloud optical depth feedback. A coupled ocean-atmosphere GCM will be used to perform several 100 year climate simulations under different C02 radiative forcing scenarios. This investigation is important because it's successful completion will help determine whether it is possible to detect the greenhouse signal in the climate record of the past 100 years, and whether changes in cloud optical depth act to enhance or diminish global warming.
