Climatic System, Climatic Change and the Carbon Effect

  • Conference paper
Chemistry of the Unpolluted and Polluted Troposphere

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((ASIC,volume 96))

Abstract

Climate is produced by the physical and chemical processes acting in the atmosphere-hydrosphere-cryosphere-biosphere-geosphere system some external forcing mechanisms as e.g. solar irradiation included. This climatic system or an actual climatic state can be described by statistics derived from directly measured or proxy data.

Evidently climate has varied in past on all scales of time and will do so in future. An overview of the global climate history is presented and possible causes of climatic change are discussed. The probably most prominent problem of the near future climate (decades and centuries) is the estimation of the effect caused by the anthropogenic rise of the atmospheric C02 concentration. The results of the C02 measurements and the model calculations of the carbon effect on climate are reported.
