An assessment of Earth's climate sensitivity using multiple lines of evidence
We assess evidence relevant to Earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity per doubling of
atmospheric CO2, characterized by an effective sensitivity S. This evidence includes …

Water vapor and lapse rate feedbacks in the climate system
R Colman, BJ Soden - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that dominates Earth's terrestrial radiation absorption. As
the planetary temperature warms, forced by increasing CO 2 and other greenhouse gases …

Contrasting fast and slow intertropical convergence zone migrations linked to delayed Southern Ocean warming
Migrations of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) have significant impacts on tropical
climate and society. Here we examine the ITCZ migration caused by CO2 increase using …
