The past, present and future of climate models
During the last 25 years, different components are added to the climate model to better represent our climate system
![Page 3: METR155: Using Satellite Remote Sensing in Climate Model – focus on Urban Menglin Jin, Professor Department of Meteorology San Jose State University jin@met.sjsu.edu.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062313/56649d4b5503460f94a292bb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Climate Model:
Equations believed to represent the physical, chemical, and biological processes governing the climate system for the scale of interest
It can answer “What If” questionsfor example, what would the climate be if CO2 is doubled?
what would the climate be if Greenland ice is all melt?what………………………..if Amazon forest is gone?what…………………………if SF bay area
population is doubled?

Three Ways to Use Remote Sensing for Climate Model
• Satellite observed parameters, for example, albedo, vegetation, cloud droplet size
• Study climate process/feedback
• Evaluate Model Outputs

Climate Model (per NASA Earth Observatory Glossary http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/glossary.php3?mode=alpha&seg=b&segend=d )
A quantitative way of representing the interactions of the atmosphere, oceans, land surface, and ice.
Models can range from relatively simple to quite comprehensive.

Importance of land surface skin temperature (Tskin)
Land Skin Temperature is a good indicator of the energy balance at the Earth’s surface and the so-called greenhouse effect because it is one of the key parameters in land-surface processes at local, regional as well as global scales [Jin and Dickinson 2002].
The skin temperature used in calculating heat fluxes and radiation:F↑ = εσTskin

Urban Aerosol Effects
•Change atmosphere conditions to form clouds and rainfall
•Change surface insolation -> reduce urban surface temperature

Urban system vs rainfall
• “Cities impact rainfall and can create their own rain and storms,” Marshall Shepherd explains.
• You need three basic ingredients for clouds and rainfall to develop, “
• air unstable - air lifting• CCN• moisture
Does urban have these?

SO2 burdens increase over China
70% of China’s energy is derived from coal burning
SO2 emissions increased at a rate 35%/decade in 1979-2000. China’s sulfate aerosol loading has increased by 17%/decade in 1979-2000 [Massie, Torres and Smith 2004]
25.5 million tons of SO2 was emitted by Chinese factories in 2005 up 27% from 2000
OMI can observe SO2 emissions in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) over
China on a daily basis and is able to track individual pollution plumes outflow to Pacific

Summary
• Urban System is an extreme land cover and land use example
• Satellite can provide a set of key parameters for urban system
• Satellite data can be used to• Detect urban features
• Improve urban parameter/parameterization in a land surface model, which shall elad to better ability to simulate/predict weather and climate of urban regions
