HCTN 28: The Representation of Water Vapour and Its Dependence on Vertical Resolution in the Hadley Centre Climate Model

Overview Simulations of the Hadley Centre Atmospheric climate Model version 3, HadAM3, are used to investigate the impact of increasing vertical resolution on simulated climate. In particular, improvements in the representation of water vapour and temperature in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere are identified with more accurate advection. Degradations in some aspects of the simulation in the tropics are identified with undesirable resolution dependencies in the physical parametrizations. The overall improvements in the water vapour and temperature distribution lead to improvements in the clear sky longwave radiative fluxes with higher vertical resolution.

Angry shareholders may sue over 3G

Even consultancies and investment banks were identified as targets of possible legal action. Nick Burkill, dispute resolution partner at TMT law firm Taylor Joynson Garrett, said that there are avenues where a prosecution in the UK could be possible.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Recycling is rubbish

The culprits are bottled water from Hawaii, protective covers on pears and all the other containers - in every conceivable size and shape - for cosmetics, cleaning materials and food. Over-consumption of renewable resources such as fresh water

Hot issue for green IT

Additional fans can spot-cool high-temperature components but this is very wasteful because it means most of the air is only cooling the volume of the data centre, rather than the equipment within it.

Met Office forecasts blue skies for green IT

These computational workhorses and their predecessors at the Met Office Hadley Centre crunched through global data to produce evidence for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, whose predictions of a 0.2C temperature rise per...

Switch from oil to silicon

The recurring cost of manufacturing CDs, shipping them to shops and selling them, with all its dependencies on the price of raw materials, transportation, fuel, retail space and shop assistant wages, disappears when digitised.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
