Downloaded 10/11/21 02:19 AM UTC 598 Vol Atmospheric and Related Oceanographic and Hydrologic Science Publications Reviewed in the Bulletin, January 1976—1984 A list of publications reviewed in the BULLETIN from January 1976 through April 1984 is presented. It is followed by the names of the reviewers who unselfishly devoted their time and effort to preparing the reviews. The publications listed are grouped in subject categories. Though a publication could, in some cases, be placed in more than one category, each publication is listed only under one category. The dates within the parentheses refer, respectively, to the issue in which the publications were announced in the "New Publications" section and the issue in which the review appears. The names and present addresses of the publishers of the reviewed publications are to be found on p. 490 of the May 1984 BULLETIN. The subject categories are: Aerosols, Agrometeorology, Air Quality/Pollution, Analysis/ Forecasting, Atmosphere (Upper), Atmosphere-Ocean, Atmospheric Chemistry, Atmospheric Elec- tricity, Atmospheric Optics/Radiation, Aviation Meteorology, Biometeorology, Climate/Climatology, Climate and Environment, Climate Variation Change, Climate Data/Atlases, Clouds/Cloud Physics, Disaster Management/Preparation, Dynamics Meteorology, Energy, Environment/Ecology, Estuaries and Lakes, Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics, and Turbulence, Forest Meteorology, Glaciology and Ice, History, Hydrology, Instrumentation, Marine and Coast, Oceanography, Planetary and Space Research, Popular, Remote Sensing, Severe Storms, Textbooks, Tropical Meteorology, Weather Modification.

  • Global Climate Change Control: Is There a Better Strategy Than Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
    GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE CONTROL: IS THERE A BETTER STRATEGY THAN REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS? † ALAN CARLIN This Article identifies four major global climate change problems, analyzes whether the most prominent of the greenhouse gas (GHG) control proposals is likely to be either effective or efficient in solving each of the problems, and then extensively analyzes both management and technological alternatives to the proposals. Efforts to reduce emissions of GHGs, such as carbon dioxide, in a decentralized way or even in a few countries (such as the United States or under the Kyoto Protocol) without equivalent actions by all the other countries of the world, particularly the most rapidly growing ones, cannot realistically achieve the temperature change limits most emission control advocates believe are neces- sary to avoid dangerous climatic changes, and would be unlikely to do so even with the cooperation of these other countries. This Article concludes that the most effective and efficient solution would be to use a concept long proven by nature to reduce the radiation reaching the earth by adding particles optimized for this purpose to the stratosphere to scatter a small portion of the incoming sunlight back into space, as well as to undertake a new effort to better under- stand and reduce ocean acidification. Current temperature change goals could be quickly achieved by stratospheric scattering at a very modest cost without the need for costly adaptation, human lifestyle changes, or the general public’s ac- tive cooperation, all required by rigorous emission controls. Although strato- spheric scattering would not reduce ocean acidification, for which several reme- dies are explored in this Article, it appears to be the most effective and efficient first step toward global climate change control.

  • Conversations with Professor Alan Robock, July 27 and 29, 2016 Participants Summary Approaches to Addressing Climate Change
    Conversations with Professor Alan Robock, July 27 and 29, 2016 Participants ● Professor Alan Robock – Distinguished Professor, Department of Environmental Sciences, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Rutgers University ● Claire Zabel – Research Analyst, Open Philanthropy Project Note: These notes were compiled by the Open Philanthropy Project and give an overview of the major points made by Professor Robock. Summary The Open Philanthropy Project spoke with Professor Alan Robock of Rutgers University about solar geoengineering and the potential climatic impacts of nuclear war. Conversation topics included possible approaches to addressing climate change, current and future research into solar radiation management, counter-geoengineering, and the possibility of a nuclear winter. Approaches to addressing climate change There are several possible approaches to addressing climate change: ● Mitigation. Leaving fossil fuels in the ground and transitioning as quickly as possible to alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar energy. This seems to be the most important step to prevent additional climate change. ● Adaptation. Since there will be some degree of climate change regardless of future mitigation efforts, it will be necessary to invest some effort into adaptation to the effects of climate change. ● Carbon dioxide removal (CDR, or carbon geoengineering). ● Solar radiation management (SRM, or solar geoengineering). There has not been enough research to determine whether the potential benefits of SRM outweigh the risks. In any case it would be in addition to mitigation, adaptation, and CDR, and not instead of. Solar radiation management Solar radiation management (SRM) is a type of geoengineering that involves reflecting sunlight to reduce global warming. Proposed methods include (for example): ● Brightening clouds over the ocean ● Covering the ocean with a layer of foam ● Releasing sulfuric acid in the stratosphere Additional research will be needed to determine whether the potential benefits of SRM outweigh the risks.

Keeling me 23 (c)1998 by Annual Reviews. u Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California 92093-0220 KEY WORDS: monitoring carbon dioxide, global warming ABSTRACT When I began my professional career, the pursuit of science was in a transition from a pursuit by individuals motivated by personal curiosity to a worldwide enterprise with powerful strategic and materialistic purposes. The studies of the Earth’s environment that I have engaged in for over forty years, and describe in this essay, could not have been realized by the old kind of science. Associated with the new kind of science, however, was a loss of ease to pursue, unfettered, one’s personal approaches to scientific discovery. Human society, embracing science for its tangible benefits, inevitably has grown dependent on scientific discoveries. It now seeks direct deliverable results, often on a timetable, as compensation for public sponsorship. Perhaps my experience in studying the Earth, initially with few restrictions and later with increasingly sophisticated interaction with government sponsors and various planning committees, will provide a perspective on this great transition from science being primarily an intellectual pastime of private persons to its present status as a major contributor to the quality of human life and the prosperity of nations.

Predecessors of ESRL-GMD were: the U.S. Department of Commerce Weather Bureau, Special Projects Section (WB/SPS) 1956-1965; Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA), Air Resources Laboratory (ARL) 1965-1966; ESSA, Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry Laboratory, 1966-1970; NOAA Air Resources Laboratory, Geophysical Monitoring for Climatic Change (GMCC) Division, 1970-1990; and the NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL) 1990-2005. The roots and legacy of ESRL­ GMD date back to the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year (IGY). The goal ofthe 1957­ 1958 IGY, overseen by the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), was to encourage scientists from around the world to take part in a series of coordinated observations of various geophysical phenomena. During IGY 1957-1958, the U.S. Weather Bureau Special Products Section began monitoring carbon dioxide and total ozone at Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, -t--- Ro_uth_~Qle,-Antarctica,-and-aLa-lletwork-oLllQbson-ozone_sp_ectrophoJometeLtotaLozone, _ measurement stations on the U.S. mainland. These observations continue to this day, and comprise sets ofdata that have already played an important role in mitigating harmful effects of pollutants such as the halocarbons and carbon dioxide.

A Resource Management Approach to Carbon Dioxide During the Century of Transition EDITH BROWN WEISS Abstract The atmosphere is a global resource which countries must manage for mutual benefit. The increasing accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO) in the atmosphere is expected to raise the temperature of the earth, which would have major impact on world climates, ocean currents, and growing seasons. The CO, buildup arises primarily from the use of fossil fuels and to a much lesser extent from deforestation and poor manage- ment of soils. This means that the CO2 problem should be viewed fore- most as a problem in developing the appropriatetransition strategy for moving from a fossil fuel to a nonfossil fuel economy in the next fifty to one hundred years. A CO, strategy should seek to manage carbon diox- ide emissions so as to limit the increase in temperature or at least to delay it sufficiently to develop new technologies for storing and recycling carbon dioxide and to prepare for anticipated changes in climate.
