On the Lack of Stratospheric Dynamical Variability in Low‐Top Versions of the CMIP5 Models
Andrew Charlton-Perez,Mark P. Baldwin,Thomas Birner,Robert X. Black,Amy H. Butler,Natalia Calvo,Nicholas A. Davis,Edwin P. Gerber,Nathan P. Gillett,Steven C. Hardiman,J. H. Kim,Kirstin Krüger,Yun-Young Lee,Elisa Manzini,Brent A. McDaniel,Lorenzo M. Polvani,Thomas Reichler,Tiffany A. Shaw,Michael Sigmond,Seok-Woo Son,Matthew Toohey,Laura Wilcox,Shigeo Yoden,Bo Christiansen,François Lott,Drew Shindell,Seiji Yukimoto,Shingo Watanabe +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main differences in simulations of stratospheric climate and variability by models within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).
Journal ArticleDOI
North American extreme temperature events and related large scale meteorological patterns: a review of statistical methods, dynamics, modeling, and trends
Richard Grotjahn,Robert X. Black,Ruby Leung,Michael Wehner,Mathew Barlow,Michael G. Bosilovich,Alexander Gershunov,William J. Gutowski,John R. Gyakum,Richard W. Katz,Yun-Young Lee,Young-Kwon Lim,Prabhat +12 more
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding large-scale meteorological patterns (LSMPs) associated with short-duration (less than 1-week) extreme precipitation events over North America is surveyed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new perspective on the dynamical link between the stratosphere and troposphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that if the wintertime Arctic polar stratospheric vortex is distorted, either by waves propagating upward from the troposphere or by eastward-travelling Stratospheric waves, then there is a concomitant redistribution of stratosphere potential vorticity which induces perturbations in keymeteorological fields in the upper troposphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratospheric Forcing of Surface Climate in the Arctic Oscillation
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that during the Arctic oscillation surface climate variations are directly forced by changes in the strength of the stratospheric polar vortex, and that large-scale potential vorticity anomalies in the lower stratosphere induce zonally symmetric zonal wind perturbations extending downward to the earth's surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern winter climate change: Assessment of uncertainty in CMIP5 projections related to stratosphere-troposphere coupling
Elisa Manzini,A. Yu. Karpechko,James Anstey,Mark P. Baldwin,Robert X. Black,Chiara Cagnazzo,Natalia Calvo,Andrew Charlton-Perez,Bo Christiansen,Paolo Davini,Edwin P. Gerber,Marco Giorgetta,Lesley J. Gray,Steven C. Hardiman,Yun-Young Lee,Daniel R. Marsh,Brent A. McDaniel,Ariaan Purich,Adam A. Scaife,Drew Shindell,Seok-Woo Son,Shingo Watanabe,Giuseppe Zappa +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess northern winter stratospheric change and its potential to influence surface climate change in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project-Phase 5 (CMIP5) multimodel ensemble.
