Yet, while many studies have examined SIO TC characteristics using observations and reanalysis, only a few have assessed these characteristics specifically for this region in climate models, and fewer have investigated their projections under climate change. Here we do this for a historical (1980–2010) and future (2020–2050) period, using multimodel simulations from the High Resolution Model Intercomparison Project, as well as examine biases in the historical period relative to a reanalysis (ERA5). The models have horizontal resolutions of 25–50 km, which has enabled an improved ability to represent tropical cyclones globally in previous studies. TempestExtremes software is employed to detect tropical storm and cyclone tracks. In cases where TempestExtremes cannot be applied due to a lack of requisite variables in a dataset, we instead examine extreme wind speeds in that dataset. For the historical period, we find considerable variation in model biases compared to ERA5, which itself exhibits realistic spatial patterns of tracks and their monthly distribution. Models do at least agree on positive biases in track frequency east of Madagascar and somewhat in the Mozambique Channel. However, the models and ERA5 only produce Category 3 tropical cyclones at best. Wind speeds for 25 km resolution models have much larger positive biases than for 50 km ones, suggesting the former can simulate even higher-category tropical cyclones. Considerable intermodel variation is also found in track changes between the future and historical periods. No systematic intercategory pattern of change exists, and low signal-to-noise may obscure any such patterns in the limited timespan of available data. Thus, no meaningful conclusions can be drawn regarding changes in track intensity. Nevertheless, track frequency broadly decreases across models for the region, as does accumulated cyclone energy. An east-to-west shift in track location from east of Madagascar toward the Mozambique Channel is also implied by track frequency and wind speed changes. Our findings provide information to potentially improve storm resiliency in this vulnerable region.</p>","PeriodicalId":13779,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Climatology","volume":"44 13","pages":"4792-4808"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joc.8609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that the domain contribution to variance is negligible, whereas the choice of GCM and RCM strongly influences simulations. Variance in temperature is significantly impacted by the driving model (GCM), whereas RCM has a higher influence on precipitation, which reflects their large-scale versus local nature. The results of this study support the development of multidomain ensembles since projections produced by the same GCM–RCM model combination are consistent across different overlapping domains.

This study aims to investigate the physical mechanism underlying the covariation among the Barents-Kara Seas (BKS) sea ice concentration (SIC), Eurasian snow cover extent (SCE) and the ensuing winter Eurasian surface air temperature (SAT). The statistics results of singular value decomposition suggest a significant linkage between the decreased BKS SIC, zonal “negative–positive” dipole SCE anomalies over Eurasia in November and cold Eurasian SAT in January–February (JF). Observational diagnosis analyses about the meridional moisture, heat transport and surface heat flux demonstrate that subpolar Eurasian anticyclonic circulation plays a crucial role in connecting the predominant modes of SIC and SCE. Furthermore, the BKS SIC and Eurasian SCE anomalies can jointly excite upward-propagating planetary waves into the stratosphere, while simultaneously reducing the subpolar meridional temperature gradient. This results in westerly wind deceleration and favours the continuous planetary wave propagation. Consequently, the stratospheric polar vortex is significantly weakened, along with negative Northern Annular Mode anomalies propagating downward from the stratosphere to troposphere. Negative-phase Arctic Oscillation anomalies correspondingly develop during JF, resulting in widespread cold anomalies over the Eurasian continent. These results are further confirmed by numerical sensitivity experiments from the Community Atmosphere Model forced by the above mentioned SIC and SCE anomalies.

In this study, using the soil temperature simulated by the Community Land Model Version 5.0 (CLM5.0), the timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status were divided into freeze start-date, freeze end-date and freeze duration. Then, using linear trend estimation, correlation analysis and other methods, the changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of the timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status from 1979 to 2018 over the TP were analysed, and the relationships between them and surface temperature, altitude and latitude were analysed. The results obtained were as follows: (1) The soil temperature simulated by CLM5.0 can reasonably reproduce the seasonal changes in multilayer soil temperature, and correlated well with observations. Simulated by CLM5.0 of the time and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status also correlated well with observations. (2) The spatial distribution of the soil freeze–thaw status is characterized by a trend of delayed freezing, advanced thawing and shortened freeze duration from northwest to southeast over the TP. From 1979 to 2018, the freeze start-date postponed by 7.3 days and became delayed at a rate of 1.9 days per decade, while the freeze end-date advanced by 6.4 days at a rate of 1.7 days per decade, and the freeze duration shortened by 13.7 days at a rate of 3.6 days per decade. The timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status vary across different regions of the TP. The freeze start-date in all areas of the TP has been delayed in the past 39 years. Except for the subcold zone and arid regions of the TP, the freeze end-date has occurred earlier and the freeze duration has shortened, with the most significant changes in the subcold zone and humid regions, while the freeze end-date has advanced at a rate of 3.6 days per decade and the freeze duration has shortened at a rate of 6.3 days per decade. (3) The timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status are significantly correlated with surface air temperature, elevation and latitude, exceeding the 99% confidence level. The correlation between the timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status and surface temperature is strongest, followed by altitude, and correlation with latitude is weaker. The correlation between surface air temperature and the timing and duration of the soil freeze–thaw status in the western TP is stronger than that in the eastern TP.

Reanalysis datasets indicate that shear changes near jets induce upward displacements of the jet cores, suggesting a weakening thermodynamic pumping over the last 50 years. From secondary flow theory, a well-established principle in fluid dynamics, an increased frequency of heatwaves and persistent winter storms is expected. The ageostrophic wind shear between 700 and 50 hPa indicates the strength of this secondary circulation. The weakening tendency during the reanalysis period also exists in multimodel simulations under the RCP8.5 emissions scenario for the 21st century. The reduction between the periods 2005–2025 and 2081–2100 reaches 18%, 5.3% and 19%, respectively, for the North America, Mid-Europe and East Asia sectors of the Northern Hemisphere polar jet. Within this background, cold-surge events are the result of synergic co-working of several factors. The occurrence trend for transitional season winter extreme events also is examined. The winter extremes seemingly have larger temperature drops. However, in a warming climate, they emerge more rapidly from extreme cold states. The storm tracks, especially over North America, have equatorward extensions, indicating that winter storms can reach lower latitudes. Due to the temperature-dependence of air viscosity, secondary flows decrease more slowly than the main zonal flow. This imposes an important adjustment to the traditional polar amplification effects on midlatitude winter extremes. During a warmer winter (the primary manifestation of a warmer climate), spatially uniform positive trends in cold extreme events are not expected. There are, however, regions experiencing more winter extremes. These regions show consistent patterns in both the reanalysis period and the remainder of the 21st century.</p>","PeriodicalId":13779,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Climatology","volume":"44 14","pages":"4925-4941"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To characterize droughts, the study uses the 3-month scale standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI).

In all the datasets (Climate Research Unit (CRU), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts version 5 (ERA5), 20th Century reanalysis II (20C) and MPAS), the most dominant five DMs (hereafter DM1–DM5) over southern Africa jointly explain more than 60% of the interannual variability in the 3-month scale summer droughts for SPEI and SPI.

Additionally, wet years (+ve SPEI and SPI) are characterized by a weak Botswana High and drought years (−ve SPEI and SPI) by a strong Botswana High.

Contrary to the previously held notion of a weak relationship between SASD and ENSO as suggested by earlier literature, our analysis reveals a substantial inverse correlation between the two. This correlation exhibits significant multi-decadal variability, which has notably intensified over the most recent two decades compared with the preceding two decades. This intensification in the SASD–ENSO inverse correlation may be attributed to the shift in ENSO regime from predominance of eastern Pacific El Niño to central Pacific El Niño events around the turn of the century. This transition triggers wavetrains that propagate along different paths, consequently influencing the South Atlantic subtropical high and inducing alterations in anomalous SST patterns in the subtropical Atlantic Ocean. These findings advance our comprehension of the interactions between South Atlantic and Pacific SST variations, which strongly influence rainfall patterns, particularly in South America and southern Africa. Understanding such teleconnection holds promise for improving sub-seasonal to seasonal precipitation predictions in these regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":13779,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Climatology","volume":"44 12","pages":"4192-4205"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142430307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
