Abstract: AbstractAnthropogenic climate change is predicted to cause spatial and temporal shifts in precipitation patterns. These may be apparent in changes to the annual cycle of zonal mean precipitation P. Trends in the amplitude ...

Abstract: his study clarifies the causes of intermodel differences in the global-average temperature response to doubled CO2, commonly known as equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS). The authors begin by noting several issues with ...

Abstract: eproducing characteristics of observed sea ice extent remains an important climate modeling challenge. This study describes several approaches to improve how model biases in total sea ice distribution are quantified, and ...

Abstract: nderstanding the cloud response to external forcing is a major challenge for climate science. This crucial goal is complicated by intermodel differences in simulating present and future cloud cover and by observational ...

Abstract: l Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is an important driver of regional hydroclimate variability through far-reaching teleconnections. This study uses simulations performed with coupled general circulation models (CGCMs) to ...

Abstract: AbstractThe 2011?16 California drought illustrates that drought-prone areas do not always experience relief once a favorable phase of El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) returns. In the twenty-first century, such an ...
