Clouds and Radiation in a Mock-Walker Circulation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021 The Walker circulation connects the regions with deep atmospheric convection in the western tropical Pacific to the shallow‐convection, tropospheric subsidence, and stratocumulus cloud decks of the eastern Pacific.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Since the early 1990s the Pacific Walker circulation shows a multi‐decadal strengthening, which contradicts future model projections. Whether this trend, evident in many climate indices especially before the 2015 El Niño, reflects the coupled ocean ...

Common and Distinct Drivers of Convective Mass Flux and Walker Circulation Changes
Geophysical Research LettersThe weakening of convective mass flux and the Walker circulation is one of the most robust responses to global warming. However, recent decades have seen the Pacific Walker circulation strengthen despite a weakening convective mass flux. Here, we conduct

Two Competing Drivers of the Recent Walker Circulation Trend
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) weakens under global warming in climate change projections, supported by a global hydrological constraint. However, the PWC has strengthened over the past decades despite ongoing global warming, and the cause has been

Synchronized spatial shifts of Hadley and Walker circulations [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2021 The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the most extensive tropospheric circulation cells on our planet, known as Hadley and Walker circulations.

Indices of Pacific Walker Circulation Strength
Atmosphere, 2023 The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) significantly affects the global weather patterns, the distribution of mean precipitation, and modulates the rate of global warming.

Tropical atmospheric circulation response to the G1 sunshade geoengineering radiative forcing experiment [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 We investigate the multi-Earth system model response of the Walker circulation and Hadley circulations under the idealized solar radiation management scenario (G1) and under abrupt4xCO2.

Tropical convective transport and the Walker circulation [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012 We introduce a methodology to visualise rapid vertical and zonal tropical transport pathways. Using prescribed sea-surface temperatures in four monthly model integrations for 2005, we characterise preferred transport routes from the troposphere to the ...

Impact of the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool on the Hadley, Walker, and Monsoon Circulations
Atmosphere, 2020 The Indo-Pacific warm pool (IPWP) is enclosed by a 28 °C isotherm and plays a vital role in controlling atmospheric circulations. However, the effects of changes in regional warm pool sea surface temperatures (SSTs) remain unexplored. We divided the IPWP

Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Theory and model evidence indicate a higher global hydrological sensitivity for the same amount of surface warming to solar as to greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing, but regional patterns are highly uncertain due to their dependence on circulation and dynamics.
