Solar and volcanic forcing of North Atlantic climate inferred from a process-based reconstruction [PDF]
The effect of external forcings on atmospheric circulation is debated. Due to the short observational period, the analysis of the role of external forcings is hampered, making it difficult to assess the sensitivity of atmospheric circulation to ...

Anthropogenic influence on the changing risk of heat waves over India
The overarching goal of this paper is to shed light on the human influence on the changing patterns of heat waves in India using the Heat Wave Magnitude Index daily (HWMId).

Climate Response to Pulse Versus Sustained Stratospheric Aerosol Forcing
Solar geoengineering has been suggested as a potential means to counteract anthropogenic warming. Major volcanic eruptions have been used as natural analogues to large‐scale deployments of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering, yet difference in climate ...

ModE-Sim – a medium-sized atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) ensemble to study climate variability during the modern era (1420 to 2009) [PDF]
We introduce ModE-Sim (Modern Era SIMulations), a medium-sized ensemble of simulations with the atmospheric general circulation model ECHAM6 in its LR (low-resolution) version (T63; approx. 1.8∘ horizontal grid width with 47 vertical levels).

Climate forcing by the volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo [PDF]
We determine the volcano climate sensitivity λ and response time τ for the Mount Pinatubo eruption, using observational measurements of the temperature anomalies of the lower troposphere, measurements of the long wave outgoing radiation, and the aerosol optical density.

Long-term memory (LTM) in the climate system has been well recognized and applied in different research fields, but the origins of this property are still not clear.

Long-term variability of drought indices in the Czech Lands and effects of external forcings and large-scale climate variability modes [PDF]
While a considerable number of records document the temporal variability of droughts for central Europe, the understanding of its underlying causes remains limited.

Skillful prediction of multidecadal variations in volcanic forcing [PDF]
AbstractStratospheric sulfate injections from explosive volcanic eruptions are a primary natural climate forcing. Improved statistical models can now capture and simulate dynamical relationships in temporal variations of binary data. Leveraging these new techniques, the presented analysis clearly indicates that the number of large eruptions in the most

Do GCMs predict the climate ... or macroweather? [PDF]
We are used to the weather–climate dichotomy, yet the great majority of the spectral variance of atmospheric fields is in the continuous "background" and this defines instead a trichotomy with a "macroweather" regime in the intermediate range from ≈10 ...

How will melting of ice affect volcanic hazards in the 21st century? [PDF]
Glaciers and ice sheets on many active volcanoes are rapidly receding. There is compelling evidence that melting of ice during the last deglaciation triggered a dramatic acceleration in volcanic activity.
