Processes shaping the spatial pattern and seasonality of the surface air temperature response to anthropogenic forcing [PDF]
, 2020 In the period 1960-2010, the land surface air temperature (SAT) warmed more rapidly over some regions relative to the global mean. Using a set of time-slice experiments, we highlight how different physical processes shape the regional pattern of SAT ...

Variability of coastal and ocean water temperature in the upper 700 m along the Western Iberian Peninsula from 1975 to 2006. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Temperature is observed to have different trends at coastal and ocean locations along the western Iberian Peninsula from 1975 to 2006, which corresponds to the last warming period in the area under study.

Evaluating the Mechanism of Tropical Expansion Using Idealized Numerical Experiments
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2023 A wide range of evidence reveals that the tropical belt is expanding. Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to this expansion, some of which even contradict each other. The study of Yang et al.

Sensitivity of global warming to carbon emissions: effects of heat and carbon uptake in a suite of Earth system models [PDF]
, 2017 Climate projections reveal global-mean surface warming increasing nearly linearly with cumulative carbon emissions. The sensitivity of surface warming to carbon emissions is interpreted in terms of a product of three terms: the dependence of surface ...

Ocean response to greenhouse warming [PDF]
Nature, 1990 Changes in surface air temperature resulting from a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide drive changes in ocean circulation. Results from an ocean general circulation model project a global mean sea level rise from thermal expansion alone to be 19cm in 50 years.

Ocean Warming Pattern Effect On Global And Regional Climate Change
AGU Advances, 2020 Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases cause the planet to warm, and the ocean uptake of anthropogenic heat slows the warming, preventing the climate system from equilibrating with the increasing radiative forcing.

Ocean warming-acidification synergism undermines dissolved organic matter assembly. [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding the influence of synergisms on natural processes is a critical step toward determining the full-extent of anthropogenic stressors. As carbon emissions continue unabated, two major stressors--warming and acidification--threaten marine ...

Seaweed Communities in Retreat from Ocean Warming [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 In recent decades, global climate change [1] has caused profound biological changes across the planet [2-6]. However, there is a great disparity in the strength of evidence among different ecosystems and between hemispheres: changes on land have been well documented through long-term studies, but similar direct evidence for impacts of warming is ...

Short-term climate response to a freshwater pulse in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
, 2005 The short-term response of the climate system to a freshwater anomaly in the Southern Ocean is investigated using a coupled global climate model. As a result of the anomaly, ventilation of deep waters around Antarctica is inhibited, causing a warming of ...

The Curious Case of Indian Ocean Warming*,+ [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2014 Abstract Recent studies have pointed out an increased warming over the Indian Ocean warm pool (the central-eastern Indian Ocean characterized by sea surface temperatures greater than 28.0°C) during the past half-century, although the reasons behind this monotonous warming are still debated. The results here reveal a larger picture—namely,
