We considered all the comments of the reviewers and there is a detailed response on their comments point by point (see below). I would like to mention that after uncovering an error in the set- up of the atmosphere-only configuration of UKESM1, the piClim simulations of UKESM1-0-LL were redone and uploaded on ESGF (O'Connor, 2019a,b). Hence all ensemble calculations and Figures were redone using the new UKESM1-0-LL simulations. Furthermore, a new co-author (Konstantinos Tsigaridis), who has contributed in the simulations of GISS-E2-1-G used in this work, was added in the manuscript. Yours sincerely Prodromos Zanis Professor 2 Reply to Reviewer #1 We would like to thank Reviewer #1 for the constructive and helpful comments. Reviewer’s contribution is recognized in the acknowledgments of the revised manuscript. It follows our response point by point. 1) The Reviewer notes: “Section 1: Fast response vs. slow response discussion. I understand the use of these concepts, especially in view of intercomparing models. Imagine you have to talk to a wider audience interested in the “effective response” of climate to aerosol forcing in a naturally coupled climate system.

Non-Radioactive Ocean Pollution Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary The oceans are filled with seawater which is mainly composed of water, a chemical compound composed of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. The polar nature of a water molecular, induced by a positive charge on the hydrogen side and a negative charge on the oxygen side, produces some unusual properties, one of the most important being water's remarkable ability to dissolve more substances than any other solvent. Although most solids and gases are soluble in water, the oceans are essentially in chemical equilibrium with as much material removed as that which enters every year. Each kilogram of typical seawater contains about 965 g water (857.8 g oxygen and 107.2 g hydrogen).UNESCO The major ions are chlo –ride EOLSS(18.98 g), sodium (10.56 g), sulfate (2.65 g), magnesium (1.27 g), calcium (0.40 g), potassium (0.38 g) and bicarbonate (0.14 g).

  • The Climatological Revolution of the Eighteenth Century (Until 2016) Franz Mauelshagen Over the Last Decade Or So, the History O
    The Climatological Revolution of the Eighteenth Century (until 2016) Franz Mauelshagen Over the last decade or so, the history of meteorology and climatology has developed rapidly, pushed, to some degree, by the question of anthropogenic global warming and its scientific foundations. Naturally, much of this research focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, while the early days of climatology around 1800 are still somewhat obscure. Reviewing the literature reveals that, up to this point, studies in the history of climate ideas and climate science before 1800 have focused exclusively on meteorology, turning the history of climatology into a by-product of technological progress in meteorological measurement (instruments, their standardization and homogenization) and data collection from about 1700 onwards. This approach has taken for granted that “climate” has always been a meteorological category—an assumption that does not withstand the test. In the context of Antique geography, from which the idea emerged, “climate” referred to a new method of determining the location of a certain place on the globe; the term’s invention parallels the invention of geography, in which context it continued to have little to do with meteorology or the atmosphere. Apparently, the traditional geographic definition of “climate” remained stable well into the eighteenth century. This raises the question of why “climate” finally emerged from its niche in geography to represent the abstract and complex “statistics of weather.” The answer will come from a thorough study of the early modern geographic tradition, particularly the development of physical geography from Varenius to Humboldt, which will change the narrative as well as the chronology of the emergence of climatology as a scientific discipline.

GTF: TBA Overview: The climate system is a set of environmental systems including the atmosphere, ocean, and biosphere, that are coupled to one another and vary over time and space, and climatology is the study of that system. This course covers the basics of energy and moisture in the climate system, atmospheric circulation processes and patterns, and the spatial and temporal variations of climate, including those produced by human action. The course will also trace the development of our understanding of the physical basis of climatology, the development of conceptual and numerical models of climate, and how complex systems like the Earth’s climate system are studied. Text: No textbook; .pdfs and URLs will be posted on Canvas, including links to current assessments of climate variations.

  • Geologic, Climatic, and Vegetation History of California
    GEOLOGIC, CLIMATIC, AND VEGETATION HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA Constance I. Millar I ntroduction The dawning of the “Anthropocene,” the era of human-induced climate change, exposes what paleoscientists have documented for decades: earth’s environment—land, sea, air, and the organisms that inhabit these—is in a state of continual flux. Change is part of global reality, as is the relatively new and disruptive role humans superimpose on environmental and climatic flux. Historic dynamism is central to understanding how plant lineages exist in the present—their journey through time illuminates plant ecology and diversity, niche preferences, range distributions, and life-history characteristics, and is essential grounding for successful conservation planning. The editors of the current Manual recognize that the geologic, climatic, and vegetation history of California belong together as a single story, reflecting their interweaving nature. Advances in the sci- ences of geology, climatology, and paleobotany have shaken earlier interpretations of earth’s history and promoted integrated understanding of the origins of land, climate, and biota of western North America. In unraveling mysteries about the “what, where, and when” of California history, the respec- tive sciences have also clarified the “how” of processes responsible for geologic, climatic, and vegeta- tion change. This narrative of California’s prehistory emphasizes process and scale while also portraying pic- tures of the past. The goal is to foster a deeper understanding of landscape dynamics of California that will help toward preparing for changes coming in the future. This in turn will inform meaningful and effective conservation decisions to protect the remarkable diversity of rock, sky, and life that is our California heritage.

Contents 1. Introduction 2. Trace Metals 3. Pesticides and Organic Compounds 4. Sewage 5. Temporal Trend Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary The pollution of the marine environment has been a major focus of concern in the international community. To illustrate the seriousness of the problem, of the 320 articles of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the very first addresses the issue of marine pollution. The most important sources of pollution and, thus, the major threat to the marine environment come from the land and this includes the continuous discharges through rivers, runoff, ocean outfalls and groundwater discharges. The marine environment in some areas, notably the enclosed and semi-enclosed seas surrounded by very dense populations, has large run-offs from rivers and sewers that contain fertilizers, detergents, pesticides and industrial wastes. Untreated sewage pouring into coastal waters directly, or via rivers or ocean outfalls, can carry hepatitis, cholera, typhoid and a wide rangeUNESCO of other diseases and infections –. Simply EOLSS said, in many coastal areas pollution has reached intolerable aesthetic, ecological and social levels. In the deep seas, tar balls on the surface, mercury in the tuna and the dumping of noxious wastes present problems although, surprisingly,SAMPLE usually less important CHAPTERS or critical than pollution from certain nutrients.
