Three-dimensional tropospheric water vapor in coupled climate
Chunmei Zhu, David W. Pierce, Tim P. Barnett, Andrew W. Wood, Dennis P. Lettenmaier
Abstract. The ability of the Parallel Climate Model (PCM) to reproduce the mean and variability of hydrologically relevant climate variables was evaluated by comparing PCM historical climate runs...
THE ACPI PROJECT, ELEMENT 1: INITIALIZING A COUPLED CLIMATE MODEL FROM OBSERVED CONDITIONS (2009)
David W. Pierce, Tim P. Barnett, Robin Tokmakian, Albert Semtner, Mathew Maltrud, Joanne Lysne, ...
Abstract. A problem for climate change studies with coupled ocean-atmosphere models has been how to incorporate observed initial conditions into the ocean, which holds most of the ‘memory’ of...
On the Competing Roles of Heat and Fresh Water Flux in Forcing Thermohaline Oscillations (2008)
David W. Pierce, Tim P. Barnett, Uwe Mikolajewicz
We describe the physical mechanisms causing century-scale Southern Ocean thermohaline oscilla-tions in the Hamburg Large Scale Geostrophic model, a primitive equation oceanic general circulation...

Submitted to J. Climate Observations show the oceans have warmed over the past 40 years, with appreciable regional variation and more warming at the surface than at depth. Comparing the observations...
When will Lake Mead go dry? (2008)
Tim P. Barnett, David W. Pierce
A water budget analysis shows that under current conditions there is a 10 % chance live storage in Lakes Mead and Powell will be gone by about 2013 and a 50 % chance it will be gone by 2021 if no...

We examine the variability of the ocean's thermohaline circulation in a Oceanic General Circulation Model (OGCM) coupled to a two dimensional atmospheric Energy Balance Model (EBM). The EBM...

Abstract. The coupling on decadal time scales of the midlatitude and tropical Pacific via an oceanic `bridge ' in the thermocline is investigated using ocean general circulation model hindcasts...
Patzert,William C., Barnett,Tim P., Sessions,Meredith H., Kilonsky,Bernard
From November 1977 to February 1978, thirteen round trips were flown aboard P-3 airplanes between Hawaii/Tahiti. The primary measurement program aboard these flights was the collection of...
The Principal Discriminant Method of Prediction: Theory and Evaluation, (1998)
Preisendorfer, Rudolph W., Mobley, Curtis D., Barnett, Tim P.
The Principal Discriminant Method (PDM) of prediction employs a novel combination of principal component analysis and statistical discriminant analysis. Discriminant analysis is based on the...
Sustainable water deliveries from the Colorado River in a changing climate
Barnett, Tim P., Pierce, David W.
The Colorado River supplies water to 27 million users in 7 states and 2 countries and irrigates over 3 million acres of farmland. Global climate models almost unanimously project that human-induced...
