Factors affecting the choices of coping strategies for climate extremes: The case of farmers in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2010, background): “For instance, Strzepek and McCluskey (2006) showed that precipitation is either increasing or decreasing based on different models but that temperature will increase under all models (Table 3).”
The Dependence of Radiative Forcing and Feedback on Evolving Patterns of Surface Temperature Change in Climate Models (2015, unknown): “Finally, some climate feedbacks— particularly cloud feedbacks—may be sensitive to an evolving pattern of surface warming (e.g., Senior and Mitchell 2000; Held et al. 2010; Andrews et al. 2012a; Armour et al. 2013; Andrews and Ringer 2014; Rose et al. 2014).”
Climate Forcings and Climate Sensitivities Diagnosed from Coupled Climate Model Integrations (2006, methodology): “…has been used to describe an instantaneous climate sensitivity diagnosed from the strengths of climate feedbacks at any point in the integration Senior and Mitchell (2000) and Gregory et al. (2004) found in different versions of the Hadley Centre model that the effective climate sensitivity…”
Transient Climate Response in a Two-Layer Energy-Balance Model. Part II: Representation of the Efficacy of Deep-Ocean Heat Uptake and Validation for CMIP5 AOGCMs (2013, methodology): “The main shortcoming of this type of method is that the ECS is found to vary in time for somemodels andmethods (Gregory et al. 2004; Senior and Mitchell 2000; Boer and Yu 2003b).”
A new method for diagnosing radiative forcing and climate sensitivity (2004, background): “Following stabilisation of CO2, T rises for many centuries as the deep ocean slowly takes up heat [cf. Senior and Mitchell, 2000; Voss and Mikolajewicz, 2001], passing the steady-state for the 4 CO2 HadSM3 experiment.”
Climate Sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model, Version 4 (2012, background): “The time dependence of DTeff(t) has been attributed to a time dependence of climate feedbacks (e.g., Senior and Mitchell 2000).”
The Climate Sensitivity and Its Components Diagnosed from Earth Radiation Budget Data (2005, background): “Also, for the same radiative forcing mechanism, a climate model’s climate sensitivity can vary with time, and some climate feedbacks, such as certain cloud changes, may not be linear (Colman et al. 1997; Senior and Mitchell 2000; Gregory et al. 2004).”
Importance of Ocean Heat Uptake Efficacy to Transient Climate Change (2010, background): “long climate change simulations (Senior and Mitchell 2000; Gregory et al. 2004), although this result is not universal (Watterson 2000; Boer and Yu 2003).”
The equilibrium sensitivity of the Earth's temperature to radiation changes (2008, background): “However, detailed studies find that some feedbacks will change with the climate stat”
The role of the oceans in climate (2003, background): “…is not a simple exponential approach towards a new equilibrium climate, but instead shows a more rapid response over the initial few decades of greenhouse gas forcing increase, followed by a more gradual approach to final equilibrium that may take many centuries (e.g. Senior and Mitchell, 2000).”
Present-day climate and climate sensitivity in the meteorological research institute coupled GCM version 2.3 (MRI-CGCM2.3) (2006, background): “Effective climate sensitivity may be timedependent in a TCR experiment due to interhemispheric differences in ocean response (Senior and Mitchell 2000).”
How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes (2006, background): “More recently, the time dependence of radiative feedbacks in coupled models has been investigated (Senior and Mitchell 2000; Boer and Yu 2003a), and some dynamical aspects of climate sensitivity have been examined by Boer and Yu (2003b).”
An Assessment of Climate Feedbacks in Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Models (2006, background): “That is, c eff ( T w ), where eff [(G R)/ Ts] (Murphy 1995; Senior and Mitchell 2000), and Ts is the change in surface air temperature between the years (2000–10) and (2100– 10) of the model integration.”
The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP6. (2016, background): “…Bony, 2012; Sherwood et al., 2014; Zhao, 2014; Webb et al., 2015b), (d) the inconstancy of cloud feedbacks and effective climate sensitivity (e.g. Senior and Mitchell, 2000; Williams et al., 2008; Andrews et al., 2012; Geoffroy et al., 2013; Armour et al., 2013; Gregory and Andrews, 2016) and…”
How reliable are climate models? (2007, background): “The basic state of the climate also affects many of the feedbacks that together determine climate sensitivity (Senior and Mitchell, 2000; Boer and Yu, 2003).”
