The Response of the ITCZ to Extratropical Thermal Forcing: Idealized Slab-Ocean Experiments with a GCM

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive atmospheric GCM coupled to a slab mixed layer ocean is used to study the mechanism by which displacements of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) are forced from the extratropics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pantropical Climate Interactions

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of pantropical interbasin climate interactions are reviewed and their implications for both climate prediction and future climate projections are reviewed.

Expansion of the Hadley cell under global warming: winter versus summer

Jian Lu, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a scaling relationship is introduced to explain the seasonality in the outer boundary of the Hadley cell in both climatology and trend in the simulations of phase 3 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP3).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Tropical Response to Extratropical Thermal Forcing in an Idealized GCM: The Importance of Radiative Feedbacks and Convective Parameterization

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of tropical precipitation to extratropical thermal forcing is reexamined using an idealized moist atmospheric GCM that has no water vapor or cloud feedbacks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Polar Ozone Depletion on Subtropical Precipitation

TL;DR: It is shown that precipitation in the southern subtropics in austral summer increases significantly when climate models are integrated with reduced polar ozone concentrations, and highlights the importance of polar regions for the subtropical hydrological cycle.
