On the role of the Agulhas system in ocean circulation and climate
Lisa M. Beal,Wilhelmus P. M. de Ruijter,Arne Biastoch,Rainer Zahn,Meghan F. Cronin,Juliet Hermes,Johann R. E. Lutjeharms,Graham D. Quartly,Tomoki Tozuka,Sheekela Baker-Yeboah,Thomas G.

TL;DR: Detailed modelling experiments—backed by palaeoceanographic and sustained modern observations—are required to establish firmly the role of the Agulhas system in a warming climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Western Europe is warming much faster than expected
G. J. van Oldenborgh,Sybren Drijfhout,A. P. van Ulden,Reindert J. Haarsma,Andreas Sterl,Camiel Severijns,Wilco Hazeleger,Henk A. Dijkstra +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the observed temperature trend in western Europe over the last decades appears much stronger than simulated by state-of-the-art GCMs, which implies that climate predictions for western Europe probably underestimate the effects of anthropogenic climate change.

TL;DR: This work presents a stricter approach to improve intercomparison of palaeoclimate sensitivity estimates in a manner compatible with equilibrium projections for future climate change, and reveals a climate sensitivity over the past 65 million years of 0.3–1.9 at 95% or 68% probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-frequency variability of the large-scale ocean circulation: A dynamical systems approach
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the methods of dynamical systems theory to explain the physical processes governing the large-scale ocean circulation and its intrinsic variability, up to and including oceanic and coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models.

TL;DR: In this article, a stricter approach was proposed to improve intercomparison of palaeoclimate sensitivity estimates in a manner compatible with equilibrium projections for future climate change, which revealed a climate sensitivity (in K W -1 m 2) of 0.3-1.9 or 0.6 -1.3 at 95% or 68% probability, respectively.
