Atmospheric and Climate Dynamics

这项研究计划旨在促进对地球气候变化的了解。大气层的风跨越了广泛的尺度，从小范围的雷暴到热带气旋的风暴尺度和全球环流的行星尺度，每一种都可能对重要的气候变化做出贡献。通过使用最先进的、高分辨率的气候模拟，可以用新的方式检查跨尺度的相互作用。该项目将揭示热带气旋、降水和全球平均地表温度对温室气体变化的敏感性背后的物理机制，以更好地限制人为气候变化的风险。

This research program is designed to advance knowledge of climate changes on Earth. The atmosphere's winds span a vast range of scales, from small scales of thunderstorms to the storm scales of tropical cyclones and the planetary scales of the global circulation, and each may contribute to important climate changes. By using state-of-the-art, high-resolution climate simulations, interactions across scales can be examined in new ways. This project will expose the physical mechanisms underlying the the sensitivity of tropical cyclones, precipitation, and the global-mean surface temperature to greenhouse gas changes in order to better constrain the risks of anthropogenic climate change.
