Congratulations Syukuro Manabe

28 May 2018

Together with Susan Solomon, Manabe last week received the Crafoord Prize at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm. One of his many great achievements is his seminal 1967 paper on radiative convective equilibrium (RCE), together with Richard Wetherald, perhaps the most influential climate research paper of all time.

The calculation by Manabe and Wetherald stands the test of time remarkably well. They estimated 2.8 K from a doubling of atmospheric CO2 in this very simple model. Lukas Kluft and Sally Dacie (IMPRS PhD students) repeated their calculation with a modern radiative transfer model and get essentially the same answer (2.7 K).

The figure shows RCE temperature profiles for different CO2 concentrations from the 1967 paper (left) and their new calculation (right).

First direct observation of the spectral fingerprint of Earth's climate feedback

In a new study in Nature Geoscience, Florian Römer demonstrates that the spectral feedback parameter, a central quantity in climate science, can be directly observed using satellites. It shows how Earth adjusts its radiation balance when its temperature changes. This helps us better understand the...
