So, warmer ocean
water and stronger hurricanes are again a likely expectation.

burried in back of the report. final assessment.

9-922 A 43:34 51:16 This discussion would be more at home in Chapter 3. Reject. We include references to
[Andrew Lacis] chapter 3 for observed changes, but
discuss mechanisms and the
consistency of simulated and observed
changes.

(1984) express their radiative forcing for doubled CO2 (and 2% solar irradiance increase)
in terms of Delta-T-zero, which is the equivalent of adjusted forcing, but expressed in
terms of a global surface temperature change with no feedbacks allowed to operate.

9-1116 A 53:37 61:3 The whole section 9.6 is very well written and well organized. Noted, thanks

9-1133 A 54:5 54:6 It is wishful thinking to believe that climate sensitivity can actually be observed. Rejected, this is not said in the text.

9-880 A 41:18 43:32 It would be better to move this discussion to Chapter 5. Rejected. Quantitative comparison
[Andrew Lacis] between modelled and observed
estimates of oceanic climate change are
made here.

doubled CO2, Delta-T-zero is essentially independent of latitude while the adjusted flux clarified.
