Polar amplification dominated by local forcing and feedbacks
Malte F. Stuecker,Cecilia M. Bitz,Kyle C. Armour,Cristian Proistosescu,Sarah M. Kang,Shang-Ping Xie,Doyeon Kim,Shayne McGregor,Wenjun Zhang,Sen Zhao,Sen Zhao,Wenju Cai,Wenju Cai,Y. Dong,Fei-Fei Jin +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determine the causes of polar amplification using climate model simulations in which CO2 forcing is prescribed in distinct geographical regions, with the linear sum of climate responses to regional forcings replicating the response to global forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting ENSO/Indian Ocean Dipole phase relationships
Malte F. Stuecker,Malte F. Stuecker,Axel Timmermann,Fei-Fei Jin,Yoshimitsu Chikamoto,Wenjun Zhang,Andrew T. Wittenberg,Esther Widiasih,Sen Zhao +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the characteristics of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), such as its power spectrum and phase relationship with the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), can be succinctly explained by ENSO combination mode (C-mode) wind and heat flux forcing together with a seasonal modulation of the air/sea coupled Indian Ocean (IO) Bjerknes feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing autumn drought over southern China associated with ENSO regime shift
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that the increasing autumn drought is largely attributed to an ENSO regime shift, which has implications for increasing precipitation shortages over southern China in a warming world, in which CP El Nino events have been suggested to become more common.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Possible Influence of a Nonconventional El Niño on the Severe Autumn Drought of 2009 in Southwest China
TL;DR: In contrast to a conventional El Nino, in the 2009 WSN, the maximum sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are confined to the central equatorial Pacific Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of two types of La Niña on the NAO during boreal winter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify two types of La Nina based on the spatial distribution of sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly, i.e., the eastern Pacific (EP) La Nina and the central Pacific (CP La Nina) events.
