Modelling the Long-term Changes

Dr. Lawrence A. Mysak

Past-President of the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans
Canada Steamship Lines Emeritus Professor of Meteorology, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, McGill University

 

Professor Mysak’s presentation will begin with a brief discussion of the impacts of the Little Ice Age (LIA) on military history, musical instruments, and church windows.  He will describe how reconstructed LIA wind-stress fields which take into account the North Atlantic Oscillation, together with three radiative forcings (volcanic activity, insolation changes and greenhouse gas changes), are used to drive the UVic Earth System Climate Model in order to simulate various environmental changes since 1500 A.D.  These changes involve the Northern Hemisphere surface air temperature (SAT), the sea-ice cover in both hemispheres, global ocean properties (heat content and hydrography), and the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.  In his study, the LIA extended from 1500 to about 1850, when the industrial era began. The simulated NH SAT agrees quite well with several temperature reconstructions.  Interestingly enough, the simulated sea-cover in each hemisphere responds quite differently to the forcings.  Only in the NH is the simulated sea-ice area and volume noticeably larger during the LIA than during the present-day area and volume.  It is also shown, among other things, that changes in the upper ocean heat content are mainly driven by radiative forcing changes, except in the polar regions where the varying wind-stress drives multi-decadal advective events into the high latitudes.
