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 کاملTracking ocean heat uptake during the surface warming hiatus.
Ocean heat uptake is observed to penetrate deep into the Atlantic and Southern Oceans during the recent hiatus of global warming. Here we show that the deep heat penetration in these two basins is not unique to the hiatus but is characteristic of anthropogenic warming and merely reflects the depth of the mean meridional overturning circulation in the basin. We find, however, that heat redistrib...
متن کاملScale-dependency of the global mean surface temperature trend and its implication for the recent hiatus of global warming
Studies of the global mean surface temperature trend are typically conducted at a single (usually annual or decadal) time scale. The used scale does not necessarily correspond to the intrinsic scales of the natural temperature variability. This scale mismatch complicates the separation of externally forced temperature trends from natural temperature fluctuations. The hiatus of global warming si...
