APACHE: Analysis of climate feedback PArameter Changes from Heat Evolution

This dataset provides an estimation of the climate feedback parameter and the climate sensitivity developed in collaboration by Magellium and LEGOS. It is based on the publication of Meyssignac et al., (2023, https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-023-00887-2 ) .

The product is a crucial study on Effective Climate Sensitivity (ECS), focusing on the time variation of the climate feedback parameter (λ).

Understanding λ is fundamental as it quantifies the Earth’s radiative response to changes in global average temperature. A less negative λ directly implies a greater climate sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.

The product addresses the high uncertainty in ECS by providing an observational estimate of λ temporal variations since 1970. Estimates are derived from the global energy balance equation, regressing the radiative response against temperature over periods longer than 25 years.

Users are primarily interested in the time series of λ and its associated uncertainties.

The input data for computing λ is provided in a secondary "extended product" for transparency, allowing users to rebuild the indicators.

The final product, available as a NetCDF file, can be downloaded in open access and is licensed for any project or study.

Statement

Les variations BARYSTATIQUES du niveau marin représentent les échanges de masses d’eau des continents aux océans et vice versa. La fonte des calottes polaires et des glaciers continentaux constituent les principales sources de variation du niveau barystatique. A l'échelle interannuelle, les échanges d'eau douce avec les grands bassins hydrologiques (par exemple l'Amazone, Mississippi) sont également importants.

Les changements MANOMETRIQUES du niveau de la mer sont dus à plusieurs processus, incluant la circulation océanique et atmosphériques, les empreintes du niveau de la mer (sea level fingerprints en anglais) ou le cycle global de l'eau. Les modes climatiques, tels que l'oscillation australe d'El Niño, l'oscillation arctique, l'oscillation nord-atlantique ou le mode annulaire austral, influencent également de manière significative les changements manométriques du niveau de la mer Pfeffer et al., 2022).

Les missions GRACE et GRACE Follow-On surveillent les variations temporelles du champ de gravité de façon quasi continue depuis 2002. De nombreux centres distribuent des solutions temporelles du potentiel gravitationnel de la Terre, fournies sous forme de coefficients de Stokes, connues sous le nom de solutions de niveau-2. Les solutions de niveau-2 doivent être corrigées de plusieurs effets géophysiques et erreurs instrumentales, converties en anomalies de masse de surface et projetées sur l'ellipsoïde. Les grilles d'anomalies de masse de surface qui en résultent, après application des corrections appropriées, sont appelées solutions de niveau-3. Plusieurs sources d'erreurs affectent les solutions des niveaux 2 et 3, imposées par la configuration du satellite, les erreurs instrumentales et les incertitudes dans les corrections géophysiques utilisées pour traiter les mesures. L'approche d'ensemble de Blazquez et al. (2018) est utilisée pour estimer de manière robuste les changements manométriques et barystatiques du niveau de la mer et leurs incertitudes.
