Abstract
This paper addresses the characteristics of climate change due to global warming using simplified climate model. The proposed model can take into account physics-based climate processes as well as the interactions between atmospheric and hydrologic processes in the mid-latitude. Since the present study simulates only the longitudinal climate change, the computational burden can be significantly reduced. The vertically and longitudinally averaged mean temperature and mean water vapor content between 30°N and 50°N latitudes are considered as atmospheric state variables, while soil and sea temperatures and water storage amount are considered for describing the behavior of hydrologic systems. Special attention is directed to the investigation of the various effects on the global warming using this model. The climate changes due to increasing CO2 are investigated in some numerical experiments.
