The Role of Bjerknes and Shortwave Feedbacks in the Tropical Pacific SST Response to Global Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The evolution of tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in response to greenhouse warming is of great societal and scientific interest. Most state‐of‐the‐art climate models predict a mean “El Niño‐like” warming pattern by century‐end, characterized by ...

An inverse relationship between South China Sea summer monsoon intensity and ENSO

Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2021
Correlations between the South China Sea summer (June-September) monsoon (SCSSM) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) for the past 32 years (1979–2010) were analyzed. As a result, a higher (lower) SST in the Niño-3.4 areas was associated with a weaker

Abrupt Drying on the Southeast Coast of China During the Mid‐to‐Late Holocene Transition

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
It is becoming increasingly clear that China experienced significant hydrological changes during the mid‐to‐late Holocene transition—a period characterized by societal changes.

Pliocene Warmth Consistent With Greenhouse Gas Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
With CO2 concentrations similar to today (410 ppm), the Pliocene Epoch offers insights into climate changes under a moderately warmer world. Previous work suggested a low zonal sea surface temperature (SST) gradient in the tropical Pacific during the ...

Late Holocene slowdown of the Indian Ocean Walker circulation

Nature Communications, 2017
Debate exists on the sign of change in tropical atmospheric circulation during global warming. Here the authors show a weaker Walker cell over the Indian Ocean during the warmer late Holocene compared to the globally colder Last Glacial Maximum, implying

Annual mean analysis of the tropical heat balance and associations with the Walker circulation Análise média anual do balanço de calor tropical e associações com a circulação de Walker

Revista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2011
The present study presents an analysis of the annual mean tropical heat balance and its association with the Walker circulation (WC) using NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data.

Present-day warm pool constrains future tropical precipitation

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Climate models with a large present-day Indo-Pacific warm pool project a weak Walker circulation and associated intense future rainfall in the central-to-eastern tropical Pacific, suggests an analysis of simulations with a suite of climate models.

Early emergence and determinants of human-induced Walker circulation weakening

Nature Communications
The Walker circulation is projected to slow down in response to greenhouse gas warming. However, detecting the impact of human activities on changes in the Walker circulation is challenging due to the significant influence of internal variability.

Tropical atmospheric circulation changes under global warming [PDF]

, 2013
This PhD thesis consists of three scientific articles. In the first one the tropical sea level pressure (SLP) response under global warming is investigated in a multi-model ensemble (MMEns) of climate models from the 3rd phase of the Coupled Model ...

Systematic Climate Model Biases in the Large‐Scale Patterns of Recent Sea‐Surface Temperature and Sea‐Level Pressure Change

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
Observed surface temperature trends over recent decades are characterized by (a) intensified warming in the Indo‐Pacific Warm Pool and slight cooling in the eastern equatorial Pacific, consistent with Walker circulation strengthening, and (b) Southern ...
