China experiencing the recent warming hiatus
Based on the homogenized data set, we analyze changes in mean temperature and some extreme temperature indices over China since 1961 and especially during the recent warming hiatus period (1998–2012) in a global average context. The result shows that the decrease of annual mean maximum has contributed most to the decreases in overall mean temperature and in diurnal temperature range (DTR) durin...
متن کاملRobust warming projections despite the recent hiatus
The recent slowdown or ‘hiatus’ in global average surface air temperature (SAT) rise1–4 has been used in some studies as evidence to argue that current models overestimate the climate response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases5,6. Other studies suggest instead that the recent hiatus merely reflects interdecadal variability superimposed on a long-term warming trend2–4,7–9. However...
متن کاملIncreasing flash droughts over China during the recent global warming hiatus
The recent global warming slowdown or hiatus after the big El Niño event in 1997/98 raises the questions of whether terrestrial hydrological cycle is being decelerated and how do the hydrological extremes respond to the hiatus. However, the rapidly developing drought events that are termed as "flash droughts" accompanied by extreme heat, low soil moisture and high evapotranspiration (ET), occur...
متن کاملRecent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus
Despite ongoing increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases, the Earth’s global average surface air temperature has remained more or less steady since 2001. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to account for this slowdown in surface warming. A key component of the global hiatus that has been identified is cool eastern Pacific sea surface temperature, but it is unclear how the ocean has rem...
متن کاملStratospheric variability contributed to and sustained the recent hiatus in Eurasian winter warming
The recent hiatus in global-mean surface temperature warming was characterized by a Eurasian winter cooling trend, and the cause(s) for this cooling is unclear. Here we show that the observed hiatus in Eurasian warming was associated with a recent trend toward weakened stratospheric polar vortices. Specifically, by calculating the change in Eurasian surface air temperature associated with a giv...
