Abstract‘Flash drought’ (FD) describes the rapid onset of drought on sub-seasonal times scales. It is of particular interest for agriculture as it can deplete soil moisture for crop growth in just a few weeks. To better understand the processes causing FD, we evaluate the importance of evaporative demand and precipitation by comparing three different ...

Evaluating Arctic warming mechanisms in CMIP5 models
Climate Dynamics, 2016Arctic warming is one of the most striking signals of global warming. The Arctic is one of the fastest warming regions on Earth and constitutes, thus, a good test bed to evaluate the ability of climate models to reproduce the physics and dynamics involved in Arctic warming.

Bjerknes Compensation in the CMIP5 Climate Models
Journal of Climate, 2018This study examines the atmospheric and oceanic heat transports in preindustrial control and historical runs of 15 fully coupled global climate models from the CMIP5 project. The presence of Bjerknes compensation is confirmed in all models by the strong anticorrelation and approximately equal magnitude of the anomalies of these heat transports ...

Precipitation in the Karakoram-Himalaya: a CMIP5 view
Climate Dynamics, 2014This work analyzes the properties of precipitation in the Hindu-Kush Karakoram Himalaya region as simulated by thirty-two state-of-the-art global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). We separately consider the Hindu-Kush Karakoram (HKK) in the west and the Himalaya in the east. These two regions are

CMIP5 downscaling and its uncertainty in China
Global and Planetary Change, 2016Abstract A comparison between the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) data and observations at 735 meteorological stations indicated that mean annual temperature (MAT) was underestimated about 1.8 °C while mean annual precipitation (MAP) was overestimated about 263 mm in general across the whole of China.

What Causes the AMOC to Weaken in CMIP5?
Journal of Climate, 2020AbstractIn a transient warming scenario, the North Atlantic is influenced by a complex pattern of surface buoyancy flux changes that ultimately weaken the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Here we study the AMOC response in the CMIP5 experiment, using the near-geostrophic balance of the AMOC on interannual time scales to identify the ...

Representation of the Equatorial Undercurrent in CMIP5 Models
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020AbstractThe Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) is a vital component of tropical Pacific circulation, helping to modulate the state of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Here we compare the representation of the EUC in models from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) with observations of the undercurrent.

Assessing the Reliability of Climate Models, CMIP5
2013In spite of the yet incomplete subsample of the 5th phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) model ensemble to date, evaluation of these models is underway. Novel diagnostics and analysis methods are being utilized in order to explore the skill of particular processes, the degree to which models have improved since CMIP3, and ...
