Global Warming looks like ‘True’ (IPCC AR4 2007)
Since the mid-20th century, it is attributed to the observed increase in anthropogenic GHGs concentrations (IPCC AR4 2007)
Two problems haven’t been or have been incompletely included in the current climate models • Anthropogenic Heat Release (AHR) • Climate-Chemistry Feedback
18 Types of Energies8Categories: Fossil Fuels、Nuclear、Solar、Biomass、Hydropower、Wind、Geothermal and Oceanic • COAL (INCLUDING LIGNITE) • CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS LIQUIDS • OIL SHALE • NATURAL BITUMEN AND EXTRA-HEAVY OIL • NATURAL GAS • Part I: URANIUM • Part II: NUCLEAR • HYDROPOWER • PEAT • WOOD (INCLUDING CHARCOAL) • BIOMASS (OTHER THAN WOOD) • SOLAR ENERGY • GEOTHERMAL ENERGY • WIND ENERGY • TIDAL ENERGY • WAVE ENERGY • OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION • MARINE CURRENT ENERGY
Nature of Energy Use • Inner cycle of the earth system • Wind, tidal energy et al. • Out of the earth system ----- add forcing • John Houghton, Global warming, 1997: Most of the energy we use can be traced back to the sun. • Fossil fuels: release the energy stored away over millions of years in the past • Solar energy use: capture the solar energy that should be reflected back to space • Nuclear energy: release the chemic energy from radioactive elements which were present in the Earth when it was formed. • … The ultimate consequence of the energy use by human is the release of heat into the earth-atmosphere system
A Simple Calculation for 2004 • Annual energy use world wide 10,224.4 Mtoe (million tons of oil equivalent) in 2004 • conversion factor: 1 toe = 42 GJ= 10 034 Mcal • equivalent to 10224.4×106×42×109=4.29×1020 J • global energy consumption per sec: 4.29×1020/(365×86400)=1.36×1013 W • surface area Earth: 5.11×1014 m2 • 1.36×1013 / 5.11×1014 =0.027 W/m2 of global “thermal pollution”.
A simple calculation for regions(2004) • China ~12% of global energy consume: 0.027×0.12×5.11e1014/(9.6e1012)≈0.17 W/m2 • U.S. ~24% of global energy consume : 0.027×0.24×5.11e1014/(9.2e1012)≈ 0.36 W/m2 • Japan ~5% of global energy consume : 0.027×0.05×5.11e1014/ (3.778e1011)≈ 1.83 W/m2 • Korea ~2% of global energy consume : 0.027×0.02×5.11e1014/ (0.99237e1011)≈ 2.78 W/m2 the best estimate of anthropogenic RF (1.6 W/m2)
“thermal pollution” should not be neglected in climate modeling for highly populated areas. • Temperature rise cannot be calculated by application of Stefan-Boltzmann law.

Experiment Introduction Model Grid-point Atmospheric Model of IAP LASG (GAMIL) developed by Wang et al (2004) and improved by Li (2007) • Resolution: 2.8*2.8 L26 • Top of model: 2.194 hPa • The method of adding AHR • Sensible heat flux (SHF) • Longwave Radition (LW) • Integral time: 1979-1988 10 years
How about air temperature we can expected if we added AHR to the model ?? • Control: not add AHR • Experiment: Add 0.027 W/m2 AHR as forced Sensible Heat Flux • Observation: NCEP • Integral time: 1979-1985
NCEP Added Sensible Heat Flux Experiment experiment-control Control
Experiment - Control Experiment - NCEP Control - NCEP
Experiment - Control Experiment - NCEP Control - NCEP
If the AHR is 100 times larger than that in 2004, what will happened for temperature??? • 2.7 W/m2
Error observation Added Sensible Heat Flux NCEP experiment-control experiment Experiment experiment-NCEP control Control Control-NCEP
Experiment - Control Experiment - NCEP Control - NCEP
Experiment - Control Experiment - NCEP Control - NCEP
Preliminary Conclusions • Global mean temperature was improved by 0.05 oC • Radiative balance at top of model and surface was better than control • Where the larger AHR added, the larger increase in air temperature Seem like that It’s reasonable to take AHR into account in climate model & Air temperature will go to upward with added AHR
Future Works • Model for 2050, 2100,…?? • How much temperature will rise once adding AHR?? • How much contribution of AHR to the climate ???
A simple and cursory calculation(After 2050) • Basic supposition: • American GDP is 3 times larger than in 2004;and energy consumption is 3 times larger than in 2004 • The Global population :10 Billion • Energy consume per person is equal to Americans • RF of Heat Release in Regions: • U.S.:0.36x3=1.08 W/m2 • China:1.49X3=4.47 W/m2; larger than the RF caused by doubling CO2 3.75! • Due to the imbalanceof economy, RF in east and south of China up to 10 W/m2 !!! • Global:0.027*10*3=0.81W/m2,can be compared with the best estimate of anthropogenic RF(1.6 W/m2)
