Three ensembles of 11 simulations each are produced with different SST forcings: the control ensemble (CTL) uses the observed climatology of the SST in 2000–2009, while the Frozen North (FzN) and Frozen South (FzS) experiments block the seasonal warming or cooling of the SST from June onwards in a region confined to the eastern tropical Atlantic. The result is a cold SST anomaly in the northeastern tropical Atlantic off the coasts of Senegal and Mauritania in FzN, and a warm anomaly in the southeastern region (Gulf of Guinea and the cold tongue zone in the equatorial Atlantic) in FzS. Comparison with CTL reveals significant impacts of these SST anomalies on the position and intensity of the marine intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and on West African rainfall during July and August. Over the ocean, the cold anomaly in NETA suppresses convection on the northern side of the ITCZ (north of 10 $$^circ$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow /> <mml:mo>∘</mml:mo> </mml:msup> </mml:math> N), while the warm anomaly in the Gulf of Guinea strengthens convection on its southern flank. The latter is also leading to a sharp increase in precipitation in the coastal regions to the northeast of the Gulf of Guinea. These changes are clearly due to variations in surface pressure gradients and the divergence of low-level moisture in response to SST anomalies, which in turn induce changes in deep atmospheric convection through thermodynamic feedback. On the continent, a substantial reduction in precipitation is observed in the western Sahel (particularly Senegal) following the cold anomaly in NETA, and in the eastern Sahel following the warm anomaly in the Gulf of Guinea: both are explained by a positive anomaly in the divergence of moisture transport in the upper troposphere, associated with an acceleration of the African easterly jet along its southern edge. However, the mechanism by which the SST anomalies create this acceleration in both experiments remains to be elucidated.","PeriodicalId":10165,"journal":{"name":"Climate Dynamics","volume":"78 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134900736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HWs over China become more frequent and hotter, and the duration of HWs becomes longer compared to those in the recent climate. The magnitudes of these changes are primarily dependent on GWLs, but they are not very sensitive to the scenarios. At 4 ℃ GWL, the frequency of HWs increases by more than fivefold under both scenarios, and the intensity (duration) of HWs averaged under the two scenarios is 2.28 ℃ hotter (3.59 days longer) than the one in the recent climate over the entire China. Meanwhile, the maximum duration of HW events can reach more than 25 days in summer in comparison with 8 days in the recent climate. The changes in HW properties are regionally dependent at the four GWLs. For example, the largest increase in HW frequency is over the Northwest China, the largest increase in intensity in HWs is seen over the Northeast and Northwest, and the largest increase in HW duration is over the Southwest China. The extreme rare events (50-year and 100-year events) in the recent climate would become the norm over China and four sub-regions at 4 ℃ GWL. Overall, seasonal mean warming dominates the changes in HW properties over China at the different GWLs. The seasonal mean warming in summer across China is related to the increases of longwave radiation, partly due to increase in greenhouse gas forcing and partly resulted from increased water vapor and the increase of shortwave radiation (under the SSP5-8.5) over eastern China related to decreases in aerosols and total cloud cover. Furthermore, the regional variations in the water vapor over China are consistent with atmospheric circulation changes. The seasonal mean surface warming results in enhanced upward sensible and latent heat fluxes, leading to increased summer mean daily maximum and minimum of near-surface air temperature and the enhancement of HWs properties over the entire China. Changes of shortwave radiation tend to play a weaker role for surface warming under the SSP3-7.0 than those under the SSP5-8.5, which is related to increased aerosol changes under the SSP3-7.0.","PeriodicalId":10165,"journal":{"name":"Climate Dynamics","volume":"60 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135476606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
