Hurricanes in an Enhanced CO2 Climate | |
|
To learn more about global warming and hurricanes, read about the latest
research
being conducted here at GFDL.
In addition, see this section from a presentation given at SuperComputing '99.

Combined Effects of CO2 Doubling on Ocean/Atmosphere | |
|
Three-dimensional view of projected surface air temperature and ocean
warming due to greenhouse gases as calculated by a low-resolution
GFDL coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model. Read this
annotated handout

CO2 doubling and quadrupling presented at the
"White House Conference on Global Climate Change", 6-Oct-97.

Soil Moisture Effects | |
|
In response to increasing CO2, the GFDL model projects substantial decreases in soil moisture over most mid-latitude continental areas during summer. |
Sea Ice Effects | |
|
The figure summarizes the time evolution of sea ice
thicknesses simulated in one of GFDL's R30 atmosphere-ocean
general circulation model experiments.

El Niņo Forecasting | |
|
Ocean temperature anomalies at the peak of an El Niņo event,
simulated in a state-of-the-art climate model at GFDL/NOAA.
Worldwide losses resulting from the 1997-98 El Niņo are estimated
at $32-$96 billion.
