Temperature Trend Patterns in Southern Hemisphere High Latitudes: Novel Indicators of Stratospheric Change
Robust stratospheric temperature trend patterns are suggested in the winter and spring seasons in the Southern Hemisphere high latitudes from the satellite-borne Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) measurement for 1979–2007. These patterns serve as indicators of key processes governing temperature and ozone changes in the Antarctic. The observed patterns are characterized by cooling and warming regio...
متن کاملA Very Large, Spontaneous Stratospheric Sudden Warming in a Simple AGCM: A Prototype for the Southern Hemisphere Warming of 2002?
An exceptionally strong stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) that spontaneously occurs in a very simple stratosphere–troposphere AGCM is discussed. The model is a dry, hydrostatic, primitive equation model without planetary stationary waves. Transient baroclinic wave–wave interaction in the troposphere thus provides the only source of upward-propagating wave activity into the stratosphere. The mo...

based upon t(h)•e atmospheric water balance equation pr vide seasonal precipitation amou ts for areas l rger than I xl km 2. For broad-scale studies in the continental interior net snow accumulation closely approximates precipitation. Annual precipitation is relatively high over the marginal ice slopes in relation to amounts in the interior. This meridional distribution is due to the orographic...
متن کاملMechanisms for stronger warming over drier ecoregions observed since 1979
reproduced by historical simulations with anthropogenic and natural forcings, but are absent if only natural forcings are considered, pointing to new potential fingerprints of anthropogenic warming. These results suggest a fundamental pattern of global warming over land that depend on the dryness of ecosystems in midand lowlatitudes, likely reflecting primarily the first order large-scale therm...
متن کاملFinal warming of the Southern Hemisphere polar
6 The final warming date of the polar vortex is a key component of 7 Southern Hemisphere stratospheric and tropospheric variability in spring 8 and summer. We examine the effect of external forcings on Southern 9 Hemisphere final warming date, and the sensitivity of any projected changes 10 to model representation of the stratosphere. Final warming date is cal11 culated using a temperature-base...
