Changing available energy for extratropical cyclones and associated convection in Northern Hemisphere summer by Gertler, Charles G., O’Gorman, Paul A.

“…The circulation of the Northern Hemisphere extratropical troposphere has changed over recent decades, with marked decreases in extratropical cyclone activity and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in summer and increases in the fraction of precipitation that is convective in all seasons. …”

The impact of large-scale orography on northern hemisphere winter synoptic temperature variability by Lutsko, Nicholas J., Baldwin, Jane Wilson, Cronin, Timothy Wallace

“…The impact of large-scale orography on wintertime near-surface (850 hPa) temperature variability on daily and synoptic time scales (from days to weeks) in the Northern Hemisphere is investigated. Using a combination of theory, idealized modeling work, and simulations with a comprehensive climate model, it is shown that large-scale orography reduces upstream temperature gradients, in turn reducing upstream temperature variability, and enhances downstream temperature gradients, enhancing downstream temperature variability. …”

Prediction of Northern Hemisphere regional surface temperatures using stratospheric ozone information by Stone, Kane Adam, Solomon, Susan, Kinnison, Douglas E., Baggett, Cory F., Barnes, Elizabeth A.

“…Correlations between springtime stratospheric ozone extremes and subsequent surface temperatures have been previously reported for both models and observations at particular locations in the Northern Hemisphere. Here we quantify for the first time the potential use of ozone information for Northern Hemisphere seasonal forecasts, using observations and a nine-member chemistry climate model ensemble. …”

Twentieth century correlations between extratropical SST variability and ITCZ shifts by Donohoe, Aaron, Green, Brian Marcus, Marshall, John C

“…Its position can be tied to the atmosphere's energy balance: the Northern Hemisphere is heated more strongly than the Southern Hemisphere, biasing the atmosphere's circulation and ITCZ north of the equator. …”

The ocean’s role in setting the mean position of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone by Donohoe, Aaron, Ferreira, David, Marshall, John C, McGee, William David

“…Second, the atmosphere, and indeed the ocean, is slightly warmer (by perhaps 2 °C) in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere. This leads to the northern hemisphere emitting slightly more outgoing longwave radiation than the southern hemisphere by virtue of its relative warmth, supporting the small northward heat transport by the coupled system across the equator. …”

The Global Characteristics of the Wavenumber Spectrum of Ocean Surface Wind by Xu, Yongsheng, Fu, Lee-Lueng, Tulloch, Ross

“…Here the authors performed a spectral analysis of QuikSCAT winds over the global ocean and found that (i) the spectral slopes become steeper toward the Poles in the Pacific and in the South Atlantic, and the slopes exhibit minimal longitudinal dependence in the South Pacific; (ii) the steepest slopes are in the tropical Indian Ocean and the shallowest slopes are in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic; and (iii) the spectra are steeper in winter than summer in most regions of the midlatitude Northern Hemisphere. The new findings reported in the paper provide a test bed for theoretical studies and atmospheric general circulation models.…”

Vertical structure of warming consistent with an upward shift in the middle and upper troposphere by Singh, Martin Simran, O'Gorman, Paul

Traveling planetary-scale Rossby waves in the winter stratosphere: The role of tropospheric baroclinic instability by Domeisen, Daniela I. V., Plumb, R. Alan

“…While the generation of planetary-scale traveling waves through the interaction of synoptic-scale waves is observed in a control run, when the model is truncated to permit only waves with zonal wave number 1 or 2, the long waves are found to increase in strength, leading to a considerably more active stratosphere including Sudden Warmings comparable in strength to Northern Hemisphere winter. This finding suggests that the role of tropospheric synoptic eddies is two-fold: while generating a weak planetary-scale wave flux into the stratosphere, their main effect is to suppress baroclinic instability of planetary-scale waves by stabilizing the tropospheric mean state.…”

Weakening of the extratropical storm tracks in solar geoengineering scenarios by Gertler, Charles G., O'Gorman, Paul Ambrose, Kravitz, Ben, Moore, John C, Phipps, Steven J, Watanabe, Shingo

“…Here, we first analyze climate model simulations from experiment G1 of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project, in which a reduction in incoming solar radiation balances a quadrupling of CO2. The Northern Hemisphere extratropical storm track weakens by a comparable amount in G1 as it does for increased CO2 only. …”

Western U.S. lake expansions during Heinrich stadials linked to Pacific Hadley circulation by Mcgee, David, Moreno Chamarro, Eduardo, Marshall, John, Galbraith, ED

On the surface impact of Arctic stratospheric ozone extremes by Calvo, N., Polvani, L. M., Solomon, Susan

“…Analyzing an ensemble of historical integrations with all known natural and anthropogenic forcings specified over the period 1955–2005, we find that extremely low stratospheric ozone changes are able to produce large and robust anomalies in tropospheric wind, temperature and precipitation in April and May over large portions of the Northern Hemisphere (most notably over the North Atlantic and Eurasia). …”

Spatial variations in the rate of sea level rise caused by the present-day melting of glaciers and ice sheets by Conrad, Clinton P., Hager, Bradford H

Observed changes in Brewer–Dobson circulation for 1980–2018 by Solomon, Susan

“…This overall acceleration was driven by both Northern Hemisphere (40%) and SH (60%) cells. Significant SH radiative warming is also identified in September for 2000–2018 after excluding the year 2002 when a very rare SH stratospheric sudden warming occurred, supporting the view that healing of the Antarctic ozone layer has now begun to occur during the month of September. ©2019…”
