Abstract

The results of numerical experiments with the model of the Institute of Numerical Mathematics, RAN, aimed to reveal variability of the atmospheric global circulation under changing content of carbon dioxide, are analyzed. Variability of monsoon circulation is considered for different scenarios of carbon dioxide content in the model atmosphere. The monsoon circulation indices calculated from the zonal-wind speeds simulated in the upper and lower troposphere and model precipitation rates are studied.
