Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Values of warming for equilibrium CO² doubling greater than 4 °C are suggested by two recently published studies and by some [global climate modeling(GCM) ] studies yet unpublished which were not available to previous assessments. These studies indicate that either large positive cloud feedbacks or, alternatively, large ice-albedo feedbacks and modest positive cloud feedbacks can give warmings of at least 4 °C. The possibility cannot be excluded that both large positive cloud feedback and large ice-albedo feedback might be realized.  3, record 4, English, - ice%2Dalbedo%20feedback

La glace de mer joue aussi un rôle important dans le système climatique [...] En hiver, elle isole l'océan de l'atmosphère froide; en été, elle augmente l'albédo (le pouvoir réfléchissant) au-delà de celui des eaux libres de l'océan. Donc, une augmentation de la quantité de glace diminue la quantité de rayonnement solaire absorbé et la température de surface, et augmente la formation de glace. L'inverse est vrai et entraîne une diminution du manteau de glace. La réaction, appelée rétroaction glace-albédo, est positive puisqu'elle renforce la perturbation initiale.  3, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9troaction%20glace%2Dalb%C3%A9do

The formulae are complicated and require skilled mathematicians, atmospheric scientists, and powerful computers for execution. Five regimes that influence climate are often taken into consideration: atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, and pedosphere. Atmospheric and environmental physical laws as well as principles of thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are all used as part of the extensive mathematical parameters for the program. The results of these models are used as reference for other models, policy decisions, and by meteorologists.  3, record 6, English, - global%20climate%20model

[...] les modèles climatiques sont d'énormes logiciels qui simulent le fonctionnement de notre système climatique mondial en trois dimensions spatiales et dans le temps.

[...] Alors que les premiers modèles climatiques ne représentaient que les processus atmosphériques, les modèles «couplés» d'aujourd'hui reconnaissent que notre système climatique implique une myriade d'interactions complexes reliant l'atmosphère, les océans, les terres émergées et les masses glaciaires polaires.

Representation of the physical and dynamical processes associated with clouds.  2, record 8, English, - cloud%20model

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 CONT

There are several serious difficulties in including clouds in models. First, cloud properties are largely subgrid-scale. Even the most regular layered cloud systems have wide variations on a 100-km scale, and boundary-layer cumulus clouds can be of a scale less than 1 km.... Second, there is a wide variety of cloud types, each of whose radiative properties varies widely from cloud system to cloud system.... The third, and perhaps most serious difficulty, is that processes of cloud formation and cloud radiative properties have not been satisfactorily related observationally to other meteorological processes.... As a consequence of the limitations discussed above, the current approach of modellers is to make up some "cloud model" based on simple physical arguments, include this parameterization in a GCM simulation, and compare the resulting model cloud climatology with one or several observational climatologies.  3, record 8, English, - cloud%20model
