Abstract
The Pacific Decadal Variability (PDV) is an important factor that significantly influences regional and global climate changes for modern climate. However, the mechanisms behind PDV remain a subject of ongoing debate, on which the investigation of PDV for land-sea configurations different from now may shed light. In this study, PDV dynamics for three typical land-sea configurations are investigated: the Mississippian, Triassic, and Pre-industrial experiments. Specifically, we analyze the relative contributions of atmospheric and oceanic forcings to PDV and investigate how local and remote factors influence its variability. The findings reveal that PDV is primarily driven by local atmospheric forcing, while oceanic heat transport plays a minor role. These findings provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms governing PDV, especially for different land-sea configurations, advancing our understanding of its role in Earth's climate system.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the journal Global and Planetary Change is to provide a multi-disciplinary overview of the processes taking place in the Earth System and involved in planetary change over time. The journal focuses on records of the past and current state of the earth system, and future scenarios , and their link to global environmental change. Regional or process-oriented studies are welcome if they discuss global implications. Topics include, but are not limited to, changes in the dynamics and composition of the atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere, as well as climate change, sea level variation, observations/modelling of Earth processes from deep to (near-)surface and their coupling, global ecology, biogeography and the resilience/thresholds in ecosystems.
Key criteria for the consideration of manuscripts are (a) the relevance for the global scientific community and/or (b) the wider implications for global scale problems, preferably combined with (c) having a significance beyond a single discipline. A clear focus on key processes associated with planetary scale change is strongly encouraged.
Manuscripts can be submitted as either research contributions or as a review article. Every effort should be made towards the presentation of research outcomes in an understandable way for a broad readership.
