Impact of Land Cover Change on Climate and El Niño in Australia
Climate impacts of land cover change (LCC) are still a subject of discussion despite growing evidence that LCC affects global and regional climates (Zhao et al. 2001; Timbal and Arblaster 2006; Pielke et al. 2002; Narisma and Pitman 2003). To investigate the climate impacts of LCC, this paper presen...

| Summary: | Climate impacts of land cover change (LCC) are still a subject of discussion despite growing evidence that LCC affects global and regional climates (Zhao et al. 2001; Timbal and Arblaster 2006; Pielke et al. 2002; Narisma and Pitman 2003). To investigate the climate impacts of LCC, this paper presents results for two sets of 10 member ensemble experiments using CSIRO atmospheric GCM. The CSIRO climate model is a fully coupled atmosphere, land surface, sea ice and ocean model, with a model horizontal resolution of ~1.8o grid increment and 18 vertical levels. In this study, we used the uncoupled version where ocean and sea ice components were represented |
