dc.description.abstractRecent findings published in the journal Nature, by Sherwood, Bony and Dufresne (2014), indicate that a part of the variance in climate sensitivity among climate models can be traced to vertical mixing in the atmosphere. Using this result, combined with mixing values derived from observations, the authors suggest a lower bound of 3 °C on the warming that would result from a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration.
