• Physical Climate Processes and Feedbacks (2001, background): “Meehl et al. (2000) illustrate this point when they show how a change from a diagnostic prescription of clouds in the NCAR atmospheric GCM to a prognostic cloud liquid water formulation changes the sign of net cloud forcing in the eastern tropical Pacific and completely alters the nature of the…”
• Large scale importance of sea ice biology in the Southern Ocean (2004, background): “Although doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentrations is expected to reduce ice cover by up to 30% (Rind et al. 1997, Meehl et al. 2000), we chose to test scenarios with a loss of ice cover ranging from 0–100% in order to include both best and worst case scenarios.”
• Polar amplification of climate change in coupled models (2003, methodology): “This was recently discussed by Meehl et al. (2000a) in the comparison of two different climate models.”
• Arctic winter warming amplified by the thermal inversion and consequent low infrared cooling to space (2011, unknown): “, as the high emissivity of clouds causes re-radiation of the warming signal back to the surface (which is further amplified if clouds increase), even though some studie”
• Applications of COSMIC to Meteorology and Climate (2000, methodology): “Fig. 19: Vertical cross sections of zonally-averaged model temperature changes averaged over 20 years (years 60-79) in NCAR Climate System Model in which carbon dioxide alone is increased by 1% per year ( Meehl et al., 2000 ).”
