This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: jdonahue Climate Models and Forecasts, B1 - globalized clean tech world whose characteristics include focus on global sustainability, make climate predictions which provide an estimate of what will happen in the future, sea level rise about 0.3m - 0.8m, IPCC storylines to help set assumptions based on driving factors agriculture and land ue, make climate projections which provide a conditional prediction, estimation techniques like parameterization, a basic vertical radiative model proposed by Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius in 1896, descretization which expedites model calculations by by using grid sampling to approximate values, A1 - globalized industrial world would lead to stabilized atomospheric CO2 in 100 years at double preindustrual levels (A1F, B1), B2 - focus on local sustainability whose characteristics include diverse but slow technological change, make climate projections IPCC scenario- independent results include certain changes in the cryosphere, climate models which are used to reproduce past observations, B1 - globalized clean tech world whose characteristics include population levels off, make climate predictions by translating results for decisionmakers, parameterization which expedites model calculations by expoiting known relationships among variables, by using grid sampling to approximate values instead of calculating model results and values using fine geographic detail, make climate projections IPCC scenario- independent results include very likely 25% slowdown in ocean thermohaline circulation, observations confirming the results of climate models, Earth System Models of Intermediate Complexity which give less detailed results, IPCC storylines such as A2 - fragmented industrial world
