Накратко на български
Атмосферната и океанската циркулация при затопляне на климата се анализират чрез сравнение на Земята с планети като Марс и Венера. Това помага за по-доброто разбиране на динамиката на нашата планета и промените в нейните климатични процеси.

Response of the Atmospheric and Oceanic Circulation to a Warming Climate
The overall objective of the project was to better understand yhe general circulation of the atmosphere itself, the robustness and the underlying dynamics of the response of the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean to a warming climate and the interaction with natural variability, and to understand the relationship of the circulation of Earth to that of other atmospheres, such as Jupiter, Mars, Venus and exoplanets. As well as studying the present circulation of the atmosphere, the project involves studying the atmospheres of Earth-like planets in a different parameter regime, in order to better understand the possible range of circulations of our planet as climate changes. Since the project began, the following work has been performed: We have developed a hierarchy of models of the atmosphere of Earth and other terrestrial planets. The models span a range from being highly idealised models with a simple thermal forcing, through models with a simple radiation scheme, to models with a realistic radiation scheme and configurable continents and topography. The models have also been extended so that the the mass, incoming radiation, obliquity, rotation rate and various other parameters can be easily configured. We used the models tin a very wide variety of investigations, as follows: 1. The circulation of Earth's atmosphere as the planet warms 2. The dynamics an circulation of monsoons. 3, The dynamics of the Hdaley Cell in the low rotation limit. 4. The relation of Earth's circulation to that of a number of other planets, including Mars, Venus and Jupiter. 5. The influence of obliquity and eccentricity on the seasonal progression. All of these activities have, or will shortly, lead to papers in the peer-reviewed literature. These results are very relevant for understanding the robustness of results regarding the response of Earth's climate to global warming. In addition, the PI has developed a large, active research group comprising 4 postdoctoral scientist and 4 PhD students. The PI has also given seminars and lectures at many institutions across Europe.

Цел на проекта
This is a proposal to re-integrate the applicant into the European scientific community. The applicant proposes to study the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere and ocean and possible changes under global warming. It is well known that the climate is warming; it is less well known how the circulation of the atmosphere and ocean will respond to this warming and that is the subject of this proposal. It is the response of the circulation that will determine the regional changes of weather and climate that will most affect society. The applicant will develop and use a novel hierarchy of atmospheric and oceanic models to study this problem. Some of the problems to be addressed include changes in the height of the tropopause and the polewards expansion of the tropical and mid-latitude circulation, and changes in the ocean circulation that might lead to intermittency in the rate of warming. Each model that is developed will connect to a neighboring model, or two models, of different complexity. At the high end of the hierarchy lie comprehensive climate models and earth system models and at the low end lie one-dimensional radiative-convective models and energy balance climate models.The application will seek to develop collaborative activities with colleagues across Europe, including at the UK Meteorological office in Exeter and at other universities in Europe. The applicant will visit and give talks at these universities and attend meetings and scientific conferences. He will also seek additional funds from UK research councils and, in collaboration with European colleagues, the European Union. The University of Exeter is fully committed to the applicant and is providing generous financial support. The University is also committed to putting significant financial and human resources into the climate sciences. Overall, the CIG will enable the applicant to play a leading role in the European scientific community and will bring cutting-edge science to Europe.
