Abstract: ost climate models simulate a strengthening of the Brewer?Dobson circulation (BDC) under a changing climate. However, the magnitude of the trend as well as the underlying mechanisms varies significantly among the models. ...

Abstract: t is debated whether the response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to the 11-yr solar cycle forcing resembles a La Niña? or El Niño?like signal. To address this issue, ensemble simulations employing an atmospheric general ...

Abstract: one-dimensional radiative?convective equilibrium model is used to investigate the influence of clouds on the onset of a runaway greenhouse under strong solar forcing. By comparing experiments with clear-sky conditions ...

Abstract: AbstractThe vertical coupling between the stratosphere and the mesosphere is diagnosed from polar cap temperatures averaged over 60°?90°N with a new method: the joint occurrence of a warm stratosphere at 10 hPa and a cold ...

Abstract: The representation of tropical precipitation is evaluated across three generations of models participating in phases 3, 5, and 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). Compared to state-of-the-art observations, ...
