In HadGEM2-A, AMIP experiments forced with observed sea surface temperatures respond to uniform and patterned ?4 K SST perturbations with strong positive cloud feedbacks in the subtropical stratocumulus/trade cumulus transition regions. Over the subtropical Northeast Pacific at 137 W/26 N, the boundary layer cloud fraction reduces considerably in the AMIP ?4 K patterned SST experiment. The near...

Many fish species are shifting spatial distributions in response to climate change, but projecting these shifts and measuring their impact at fine scales challenging. We present a simulation that projects change fishery landings due distribution shifts, by combining regional ocean biogeochemical models (forced three earth system models, ESMs: GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-MR), correlative f...

The importance of aerosol emissions for near term climate projections is 3 investigated by analysing simulations with the HadGEM2-ES model under 4 two different emissions scenarios: RCP2.6 and RCP4.5. It is shown that the 5 near term warming projected under RCP2.6 is greater than under RCP4.5, 6 even though the greenhouse gas forcing is lower. Rapid and substantial re-7 ductions in sulphate aer...
