    Notes: [Auszug] Rays from the twilight Sun pass tangentially through the ozone layer to a balloon floating above a substantial part of the atmospheric ozone. This gives a very long path-length through the atmosphere, having an effective thickness of ozone which depends critically on solar zenith angle. The ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Soundings of the vertical distribution of ozone have been made on a regular weekly basis at Aspendale, Australia (38.0°S, 145.1°E) since June 1965 (ref. 5). Some 432 soundings reached above the 18.1 mbar (27 km) level during the first 8 yr of the programme. Data from these soundings have been ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Fig. 1 shows the mean plot of partial pressure of ozone against total pressure for the nine consecutive soundings from March 16 to 27, 1964, over Boulder. These observations appear to require an 'ozone sink5 at 50 mb at the time and place of observation. It is tentatively suggested that such a ...

    Notes: Abstract In this study we present rainfall results from equilibrium 1 ×− and 2 × CO2 experiments with the CSIRO 4-level general circulation model. The 1 × CO2 results are discussed in relation to observed climate. Discussion of the 2 × CO2 results focuses upon changes in convective and non-convective rainfall as simulated in the model, and the consequences these changes have for simulated daily rainfall intensity and the frequency of heavy rainfall events. In doing this analysis, we recognize the significant shortcomings of GCM simulations of precipitation processes. However, because of the potential significance of any changes in heavy rainfall events as a result of the enhanced greenhouse effect, we believe a first examination of relevant GCM rainfall results is warranted. Generally, the model results show a marked increase in rainfall originating from penetrative convection and, in the mid-latitudes, a decline in largescale (non-convective) rainfall. It is argued that these changes in rainfall type are a consequence of the increased moisture holding capacity of the warmer atmosphere simulated for 2 × CO2 conditions. Related to changes in rainfall type, rainfall intensity (rain per rain day) increases in the model for most regions of the globe. Increases extend even to regions where total rainfall decreases. Indeed, the greater intensity of daily rainfall is a much clearer response of the model to increased greenhouse gases than the changes in total rainfall. We also find a decrease in the number of rainy days in the middle latitudes of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. To further elucidate these results daily rainfall frequency distributions are examined globally and for four selected regions of interest. In all regions the frequency of high rainfall events increases, and the return period of such events decreases markedly. If realistic, the findings have potentially serious practical implications in terms of an increased frequency and severity of floods in most regions. However, we discuss various important sources of uncertainty in the results presented, and indicate the need for rainfall intensity results to be examined in enhanced greenhouse experiments with other GCMs.

    Notes: Abstract The climatic effects of an elevated uniform global layer of purely absorbing smoke of absorption optical depth 0.2 have been simulated using a version of the 9-level spectral model of McAvaney et al. (1978). The model was run at rhomboidal wave number 21 with convective adjustment, prognostic precipitation and soil hydrology, but fixed zonally averaged climatological cloud and fixed sea surface temperature, for constant January and July conditions with and without smoke absorption. Results show a reduction in convective rainfall in the tropics and monsoonal regions of the order of 50%, with diurnal average soil surface coolings of several degrees C except in those locations where the reduction in soil moisture is sufficient to effectively stop evaporation at the surface. In that case, small increases in temperature may occur. Results over Australia are consistent with the zonal mean picture. Run in a diurnal cycle mode, the model shows that daily maximum temperatures are more strongly affected, with soil surface coolings of the order of 2°–3° C in summer (with some local warmings) and 4°–6° C in winter. Overninght minimum temperatures cool by only 1°–2° C in both summer and winter. Possible effects of a lowering of sea surface temperature, variations in cloud cover, neglect of scattering by smoke, and infrared absorption and emission by the smoke are discussed.

    Recent climatic change in Australia: Implications for a CO2-warmed earth (1983)
    Springer
    Climatic change 5 (1983), S. 321-340

    Notes: Abstract A significant change in mean precipitation occurred over much of Australia between 1913–45 and 1946–78. This is described on a seasonal basis and related to possible changes in the atmospheric circulation. It now appears that during this time mean surface temperatures in the mid southern latitude zone increased by up to 1 °C. This temperature change could be at least partly due to an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations from about 260 ppmv in the early nineteenth century. In any case the observed temperature increase is similar to the predicted future effects of a 50% increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Thus the climatic change which occurred earlier this century is at least a good analogy for the effects of a CO2-induced global warming which is expected to occur over a similar time interval in the future. This allows the construction of more detailed and quantitative climate scenarios. The most noteworthy conclusion is that marked changes in the seasonally of precipitation should be anticipated, with seasonal changes in some areas being of the order of 50% or more for a doubling of CO2 content. The results are in general consistent with earlier more qualitative scenarios for Australia.

    Climate scenarios for 2010 and 2050 AD Australia and New Zealand (1991)

    Notes: Abstract The various bases for making Australian and New Zealand scenarios of climate change at 2010 and 2050 AD are discussed. Atmospheric greenhouse gas increases will cause historically unprecedented warming by 2050 AD, but the likely regional rainfall changes are uncertain. By 2010 AD greenhouse gas climate change should be detectable with a warming relative to the present of 0.5–1.5 °C. At 2050 AD Australian and New Zealand temperatures will be 2–3 °C higher, the frost free season will be longer and the snowline higher. Rainfall changes will be very much determined by regional airflow and storm tracks, and the state of the Southern Oscillation. In order to obtain unproved and more detailed estimates of climate at 2010 and 2050 AD existing climate models need to be improved. For Australia and New Zealand models need to focus on the south west Pacific-Australia region.

    Notes: Abstract Measured and projected increases in carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere point towards a significant global warming. The regional effects of such a warming will be of primary importance in determining the social and economic consequences. Four methods of arriving at tentative regional scenarios are discussed and illustrated by application to Australia and New Zealand. Methods used include numerical modelling, extreme warm and cold year ensembles, dynamical/empirical reasoning and palaeoclimatic reconstructions from the Hypsithermal. A surprising degree of consistency is revealed between the various approaches to a scenario for a CO2-warmed Earth and the climatic conditions which prevailed during the Hypsithermal. The best overall analogy to a CO2-warmed Earth seems to be this epoch, especially as recent evidence suggests it to be one of higher CO2 concentrations. High priority should be given to further investigations using numerical models which include an interactive dynamic ocean and hydrologic cycle including variable cloudiness, as well as more detailed reconstruction of climatic conditions during the Hypsithermal in areas sensitive to any circulation changes.
