Roy Clark: Time Dependent Energy Transfer
Volume 3.4 Joseph Fourier discussed the temperature of the earth in two similar memoires (reviews) in 1824 and 1827. An important and long neglected part of this work is his description of the time dependence of the surface energy transfer. In particular, he was able to explain the seasonal time delays or phase shifts between…
Allan Astrup Jensen: Time Trend of Arctic Sea Ice Extent
SCC Volume 3.4 The NSIDC website, IPCC’s reports and some scientific papers have announced that the Arctic Sea ice extent, when it is lowest in September month, in recent years has declined dramatically, and in few decades the sea ice is supposed to disappear completely in the summer. In that way new and shorter ships…
Raimund Müller: Estimation of e -Time for CO2 and Revelle Factor
SCC Volume 3.3. This study develops a very simple climate model, based on the standard lagging formula. The mathematical function is derived in detail. The main purpose is to estimate the e-time of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Many models evaluate the inflow to the atmospheric CO2 reservoir by rate equations describing the flow from…
Ferenc Miskolczi: Greenhouse Gas Theories and Observed Infrared Properties of the Earth’s Atmosphere
SCC Volume 3.3. In the last decade fundamental theoretical equations were developed for describing and understanding the global average radiative equilibrium state of the Earth-atmosphere system. It is shown that using the well-established laws of radiation physics the key climate parameters of the planet can be deduced theoretically, from purely astrophysical considerations and some plausible…
Martin T. Hovland: The Holocene Climate Change Story from Sola part IV
SCC Volume 3.2. The first humans probably arrived at Sola in SW Norway just after the brutally cold Younger Dryas (YD) period, as the first neolithic tools found there are from around 11,500 years BP. This period is also called the Preboreal period, where the temperature trends upwards for over a thousand years, before suddenly…
Martin T. Hovland: The Holocene Climate Change Story from Sola part III
SCC Volume 3.1. Towards the end of the Weichsel ice age came a period with warmer climate referred to as the Late Glacial Interstadial (c.14,670 to 12,900 years BP), when the great inland ice started to retreat. This retreat was interrupted by a new period of cold climate – The Younger Dryas (YD) (c. 12,900…
Jonas Rosén and Sten Kaijser: Analytical Carbon Cycle Impulse Response Function
SCC Volume 3.1. The purpose of this paper is to derive an analytical impulse response function (IRF), for the carbon cycle between atmosphere and sea. The analysis is starting from the Box-Diffusion model (BDM) given by Oeschger et al. The BDM is also the underlying model for the “sum of exponentials –IRF” presently used in…
Edwin X Berry: Nature Controls the CO2 Increase
SCC Volume 3.1. Climate alarmism and politics are based on the invalid United Nations (UN) assumption that human CO2 is the dominant cause of the CO2 increase above 280 ppm, or since 1750. This assumption conflicts with UN’s own data, is derived from invalid circular reasoning, and violates physics.UN data show human carbon emissions have…
Hermann Harde: Understanding Increasing Atmospheric CO2
SCC Volume 3.1. The carbon cycle is of fundamental importance to estimate the influence of anthropogenic emissions on the atmospheric CO2 concentration, and thus, to classify the impact of these emissions on global warming. Different models have been developed, which under simplified assumptions can well reproduce the observed CO2 concentration over recent years, but they…
David E. Andrews: Clear Thinking about Atmosspheric CO2
SCC Volume 3.1. Several articles have been published in this journal purporting to show that the well-documented rise in atmospheric CO2 is a natural phenomenon rather than human caused. His note reviews the overwhelming case that human activities are the cause. It identifies specific misunderstandings about the carbon cycle and errors in the interpretation of…
