  • Warmer climate projections in EC-Earth3-Veg

    Open AccessKlaus Wyser, Erik Kjellström et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Climate projections for the 21st century for CMIP6 are warmer than those for CMIP5 despite nominally identical instantaneous radiative forcing. Many climate modeling groups attribute the stronger warming in the CMIP6 projections to the higher climate sensitivity of the new generation of climate models, but here we demonstrate that also changes in the forcing datasets can play an important role, in particular the prescribed concentrations of green…

  • Signals from a Noisy Region

    Open AccessAnnika E Nilsson, Ralf DöscherCHAPTERMedia and the Politics of Arctic…2013

    When the Arctic Ocean ice cover reached a record low in the late summer of 2007, it provided images of the Arctic entering an era where human-induced climate change had started to create a new geography — the ultimate evidence of the ‘Anthropocene’ where human actions are a major driver of Earth as a system (Crutzen and Stoermer, 2000). Given that emissions of greenhouse gases continue to increase and that the connection between these emissions a…

  • Tundra shrubification and tree-line advance amplify arctic climate warming

    Open AccessWenxin Zhang, Paul Miller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    One major challenge to the improvement of regional climate scenarios for the northern high latitudes is to understand land surface feedbacks associated with vegetation shifts and ecosystem biogeochemical cycling. We employed a customized, Arctic version of the individual-based dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS to simulate the dynamics of upland and wetland ecosystems under a regional climate model-downscaled future climate projection for the Arc…

  • Simulated Distributions of Baltic Sea-ice in Warming Climate and Consequences for the Winter Habitat of the Baltic Ringed Seal

    H E Markus Meier, Ralf Döscher et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2004References: 23

    Sea-ice in the Baltic Sea in present and future climates is investigated. The Rossby Centre Regional Atmosphere-Ocean model was used to perform a set of 30-year-long time slice experiments. For each of the two driving global models HadAM3H and ECHAM4/OPYC3, one control run (1961-1990) and two scenario runs (2071-2100) based upon the SRES A2 and B2 emission scenarios were conducted. The future sea-ice volume in the Baltic Sea is reduced by 83% on …

  • The Baltic Haline Conveyor Belt or The Overturning Circulation and Mixing in the Baltic

    Kristofer Döös, H E Markus Meier et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2004Cited by: 4

    A study of the water-mass circulation of the Baltic has been undertaken by making use of a three dimensional Baltic Sea model simulation. The saline water from the North Atlantic is traced through the Danish Sounds into the Baltic where it upwells and mixes with the fresh water inflow from the rivers forming a Baltic haline conveyor belt. The mixing of the saline water from the Great Belt and Öresund with the fresh water is investigated making us…

  • Simulated Sea Surface Temperature and Heat Fluxes in Different Climates of the Baltic Sea

    Ralf Döscher, H E Markus MeierARTICLEAMBIO2004References: 12

    The physical state of the Baltic Sea in possible future climates is approached by numerical model experiments with a regional coupled ocean-atmosphere model driven by different global simulations. Scenarios and recent climate simulations are compared to estimate changes. The sea surface is clearly warmer by 2.9 degrees C in the ensemble mean. The horizontal pattern of average annual mean warming can largely be explained in terms of ice-cover redu…
