Journal ArticleDOI
Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus
Matthew H. England,Shayne McGregor,Paul Spence,Gerald A. Meehl,Axel Timmermann,Wenju Cai,Alex Sen Gupta,Michael J. McPhaden,Ariaan Purich,Agus Santoso +9 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that strengthening trade winds caused a reduction in the 2012 global average surface air temperature of 0.1 −0.2°C, which is a result of increased subsurface ocean heat uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid subsurface warming and circulation changes of Antarctic coastal waters by poleward shifting winds
Paul Spence,Stephen M. Griffies,Matthew H. England,Andrew McC. Hogg,Oleg A. Saenko,Nicolas C. Jourdain,Nicolas C. Jourdain +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a poleward wind shift at the latitudes of the Antarctic Peninsula can produce an intense warming of subsurface coastal waters that exceeds 2°C at 200-700m depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Antarctic Slope Current in a Changing Climate
TL;DR: The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water towards the Antarctic coastline as discussed by the authors, which has global implications, such as the melting of Antarctic ice shelves and water mass formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Southern Hemisphere westerlies as a driver of the early deglacial atmospheric CO 2 rise
Laurie Menviel,Laurie Menviel,Paul Spence,Jimin Yu,Matthew A. Chamberlain,Richard J. Matear,Katrin J. Meissner,Matthew H. England +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Southern Ocean convection driven by intensified Southern Hemisphere westerlies during Heinrich stadial 1 can explain the abrupt pCO2 rise and changes in atmosphere and ocean carbon isotopes.
Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of the Arctic Ocean in a suite of interannual CORE-II simulations. Part I: Sea ice and solid freshwater

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the results of fourteen global ocean-sea ice models in the framework of the Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments, phase II (CORE II).
