Water vapor and the dynamics of climate changes

T Schneider, PA O'Gorman… - Reviews of Geophysics, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Water vapor is not only Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Through the release of latent heat
when it condenses, it also plays an active role in dynamic processes that shape the global …

Spontaneous transition to superrotation in warm climates simulated by CAM3

R Caballero, M Huber - Geophysical Research Letters, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Recent paleoclimate proxy reconstructions show that tropical surface temperatures may
have been as high as 35°–40° C in the Early Cenozoic. Here, we study the tropical …

Sea ice, high‐latitude convection, and equable climates

DS Abbot, E Tziperman - Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
It is argued that deep atmospheric convection might occur during winter in ice‐free high‐
latitude oceans, and that the surface radiative warming effects of the clouds and water vapor …
