Link between land‐ocean warming contrast and surface relative humidities in simulations with coupled climate models

Simulations of warming climates with coupled climate models exhibit strong land‐ocean contrasts in changes in surface temperature and relative humidity, but little land‐ocean contrast in changes in equivalent potential temperature. A theory that assumes equal changes in equivalent potential temperat...
