The Relative Importance of Antarctic Sea Ice Loss within the Response to Greenhouse Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Midlatitude Moisture Contribution to Recent Arctic Tropospheric Summertime Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he dynamics of late summer Arctic tropospheric heat content variability is studied using reanalyses. In both trends and interannual variability, much of the August heat content variability in the Arctic midtroposphere can ...
Isolating the Atmospheric Circulation Response to Arctic Sea Ice Loss in the Coupled Climate System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study, coupled ocean?atmosphere?land?sea ice Earth system model (ESM) simulations driven separately by sea ice albedo reduction and by projected greenhouse-dominated radiative forcing are combined to cleanly isolate ...
Resolving the Regional Signature of the Annular Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sector EOF analysis applied to the extratropical tropospheric circulation extracts robust circulation patterns that represent the regional signature of the annular modes. These regional patterns are eastward-propagating, ...
Using “Heat Tagging” to Understand the Remote Influence of Atmospheric Diabatic Heating through Long-Range Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Role of Extratropical Ocean Warming in the Coupled Climate Response to Arctic Sea Ice Loss
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe role of extratropical ocean warming in the coupled climate response to Arctic sea ice loss is investigated using coupled atmosphere?ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) and uncoupled atmospheric-only (AGCM) ...
Interpreting Stationary Wave Nonlinearity in Barotropic Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Stationary wave nonlinearity describes the self-interaction of stationary waves and is important in maintaining the zonally asymmetric atmospheric general circulation. However, the dynamics of stationary wave nonlinearity, ...
The Transient and Equilibrium Climate Response to Rapid Summertime Sea Ice Loss in CCSM4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impact that disappearing Arctic sea ice will have on the atmospheric circulation and weather variability remains uncertain. In this study, results are presented from a sea ice perturbation experiment using the coupled ...
Why are Temperature and Upward Wave Activity Flux Positively Skewed in the Polar Stratosphere?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe distribution of temperatures in the wintertime polar stratosphere is significantly positively skewed, which has important implications for the characteristics of ozone chemistry and stratosphere?troposphere ...
Power-Law and Long-Memory Characteristics of the Atmospheric General Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The question of which statistical model best describes internal climate variability on interannual and longer time scales is essential to the ability to predict such variables and detect periodicities and trends in them. ...
