Tematica: Los modelos climáticos actuales difieren en su evaluación que resultará del efecto del calentamiento global, el cual llevará a un aumento antropogénico de gases. Esto suceder debido a que difieren en su representación del ciclo hidrológico (vapor de agua, las nubes, la nieve y el hielo del mar, humedad del suelo) y porque una validación directa en términos de sensibilidad no es posible. Métodos y enfoques indirectos por lo tanto son necesarios para verificar los modelos de manera eficiente. Este libro ofrece una visión general sobre los diferentes enfoques de validación. El uso de datos de satélite se hizo especial hincapié. Escrito en idioma inglés. HS.

About this title

Synopsis

Current climate models diverge in their assessment of global warming that will result from the anthropogenic increase in trace gases. This is because they differ in their representation of the hydrological cycle (water vapour, clouds, snow and sea ice, soil moisture) and because a direct validation in terms of sensitivity is not possible. Indirect methods and approaches are therefore necessary to verify the models efficiently. The book provides an overview on different validation approaches. The use of satellite data is particularly stressed.
