Robust Responses of the Hydrological Cycle to Global Warming
Isaac M. Held,Brian J. Soden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined some aspects of the hydrological cycle that are robust across the models, including the decrease in convective mass fluxes, the increase in horizontal moisture transport, the associated enhancement of the pattern of evaporation minus precipitation and its temporal variance, and decrease in the horizontal sensible heat transport in the extratropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tropical cyclones and climate change
Thomas R. Knutson,John L. McBride,Johnny C. L. Chan,Kerry Emanuel,Greg J. Holland,Christopher W. Landsea,Isaac M. Held,James P. Kossin,Ashok K. Srivastava,Masato Sugi +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristics of tropical cyclones have changed or will change in a warming climate and if so, how, has been the subject of considerable investigation, often with conflicting results.
Model Projections of an Imminent Transition to a More Arid Climate in
Richard Seager,Mingfang Ting,Isaac M. Held,Yochanan Kushnir,Jian Lu,Gabriel A. Vecchi,Huei-Ping Huang,Nili Harnik,Ants Leetmaa,Ngar-Cheung Lau,Cuihua Li,Jennifer Velez,Naomi H. Naik +12 more
TL;DR: There is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way, and the levels of aridity of the recent multiyear drought or the Dust Bowl and the 1950s droughts will become the new climatology of the American Southwest within a time frame of years to decades.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model Projections of an Imminent Transition to a More Arid Climate in Southwestern North America
Richard Seager,Mingfang Ting,Isaac M. Held,Isaac M. Held,Yochanan Kushnir,Jian Lu,Gabriel A. Vecchi,Huei-Ping Huang,Nili Harnik,Ants Leetmaa,Ngar-Cheung Lau,Ngar-Cheung Lau,Cuihua Li,Jennifer Velez,Naomi H. Naik +14 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that there is a broad consensus among climate models that this region will dry in the 21st century and that the transition to a more arid climate should already be under way.
