Global cooling: increasing world-wide urban albedos to offset CO2Climatic Change - Tập 94 - Trang 275-286 - 2008
Hashem Akbari, Surabi Menon, Arthur Rosenfeld
Increasing urban albedo can reduce summertime temperatures, resulting in better
air quality and savings from reduced air-conditioning costs. In addition,
increasing urban albedo can result in less absorption of incoming solar
radiation by the surface-troposphere system, countering to some extent the
global scale effects of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations. Pavements and
roofs typically con... hiện toàn bộ
Joint effects of storm surge and sea-level rise on US Coasts: new economic estimates of impacts, adaptation, and benefits of mitigation policyClimatic Change - Tập 129 - Trang 337-349 - 2014
James E. Neumann, Kerry Emanuel, Sai Ravela, Lindsay Ludwig, Paul Kirshen, Kirk Bosma, Jeremy Martinich
Recent literature, the US Global Change Research Program’s National Climate
Assessment, and recent events, such as Hurricane Sandy, highlight the need to
take better account of both storm surge and sea-level rise (SLR) in assessing
coastal risks of climate change. This study combines three models—a tropical
cyclone simulation model; a storm surge model; and a model for economic impact
and adaptati... hiện toàn bộ
Dietary greenhouse gas emissions of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UKClimatic Change - Tập 125 - Trang 179-192 - 2014

The production of animal-based foods is associated with higher greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions than plant-based foods. The objective of this study was to
estimate the difference in dietary GHG emissions between self-selected
meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK. Subjects were
participants in the EPIC-Oxford cohort study. The diets of 2,041 vegans, 15,751
vegetarians, 8,123 fis... hiện toàn bộ
CO2 climate sensitivity and snow-sea-ice albedo parameterization in an atmospheric GCM coupled to a mixed-layer ocean modelClimatic Change - Tập 16 - Trang 283-306 - 1990
Gerald A. Meehl, Warren M. Washington
The snow-sea-ice albedo parameterization in an atmospheric general circulation
model (GCM), coupled to a simple mixed-layer ocean and run with an annual cycle
of solar forcing, is altered from a version of the same model described by
Washington and Meehl (1984). The model with the revised formulation is run to
equilibrium for 1 × CO2 and 2 × CO2 experiments. The 1 ×CO2 (control) simulation
produce... hiện toàn bộ
