Connecting tropical climate change with Southern Ocean heat uptake [PDF]
AbstractUnder increasing greenhouse gas forcing, climate models project tropical warming that is greater in the Northern than the Southern Hemisphere, accompanied by a reduction in the northeast trade winds and a strengthening of the southeast trades. While the ocean‐atmosphere coupling indicates a positive feedback, what triggers the coupled asymmetry

Inter-basin contrast in the Southern Ocean warming [PDF]
The Southern Ocean (SO) is a major contributor to global ocean heat uptake, exhibiting deep-reaching warming trends within the 35°S-55°S band. Here, we reveal a notable inter-basin contrast in the SO warming rates.

Anthropogenic Aerosols Offsetting Ocean Warming Less Efficiently Since the 1980s
Greenhouse gases and aerosols play a major role in controlling global climate change. Greenhouse gases drive a radiative imbalance which warms the ocean, while aerosols cool the ocean.

Ocean Heat Uptake Processes: A Model Intercomparison [PDF]
Abstract The quasi-equilibrium heat balances, as well as the responses to 4 × CO2 perturbation, are compared among three global climate models with the aim to identify and explain intermodel differences in ocean heat uptake (OHU) processes.

Heat and carbon uptake in the Southern Ocean: the state of the art and future priorities [PDF]
The Southern Ocean is an extreme environment. The vast area it covers, roaring winds, mountainous seas and treacherous ice all combine to make it both a challenge and a privilege to study. While researchers no longer take their lives in their hands to travel to the Southern Ocean, as scientists and explorers did in earlier times, it still exerts an ...

Recent acceleration in global ocean heat accumulation by mode and intermediate waters
The ocean absorbs >90% of anthropogenic heat in the Earth system, moderating global atmospheric warming. However, it remains unclear how this heat uptake is distributed by basin and across water masses.

Response of ocean climate to different heat-flux perturbations over the North Atlantic in FAFMIP
The diversity of surface-flux perturbations, especially for heat-flux perturbations, notably leads to uncertainties surrounding the responses of ocean climate under global warming scenarios projected by climate/Earth system models. However, when imposing

Divergent trajectories of ocean warming and acidification
The ocean provides a major sink for anthropogenic heat and carbon. This sink results in ocean changes through the dual stressors of warming and acidification which can negatively impact the health of the marine ecosystem.

Impacts of Stratospheric Ozone Recovery on Southern Ocean Temperature and Heat Budget
The impacts of stratospheric ozone recovery on Southern Ocean surface and interior temperature, heat content, heat uptake, and heat transport are investigated by contrasting two ensemble chemistry‐climate model simulations in 2005–2099: one with fixed ...
