The North Atlantic tripole (NAT) sea surface temperature anomaly is crucial to interannual precipitation variations in Eurasia. Several studies have focused on the link between the NAT and climate anomalies in winter and spring. However, the mechanism by which the summer NAT impacts climate anomalies in Eurasia remains unclear. This study examines how the NAT impacts interannual variations of summer precipitation in mid-high-latitude Eurasia. Precipitation variations are associated with the atmospheric teleconnection triggered by the NAT. When the NAT is in its positive phase, the anomalous atmospheric diabatic heating over the North Atlantic excites an equivalent-barotropic Rossby wave train response that propagates eastward toward the Eurasia, resulting in atmospheric circulation anomalies over the region. The combined effects of atmospheric circulation, radiative forcing, and water vapor transport anomalies lead to decreased precipitation across Northern Europe and central Eurasia, with higher precipitation anomalies over the Northeast Asia. Finally, numerical experiments verify that the summer NAT excites atmospheric teleconnections that propagate downstream, affecting precipitation anomalies in mid-high-latitude Eurasia. This study provides a scientific basis for predicting Eurasian summer precipitation and strengthening disaster management strategies.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504519","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}

With respect to a present-day climate, two experiments are highlighted: a 4K uniform warming and a more realistic late 21st-century warming pattern projected by a CMIP6 model. Different ETC deepening mechanisms, especially by diabatic processes, are quantified via the pressure tendency equation analysis, and the horizontal model resolution dependency is examined by contrasting coarse-grid (80 km) and convection-permitting (2.5 km) simulations. While our simulated ETCs are primarily baroclinically driven, dominated by the horizontal warm-air advection in the air column above the surface low, such an effect only strengthens by 10% in both warming experiments. However, the direct contribution of diabatic heating to surface pressure drop almost doubles, which likely feeds back positively to horizontal warm-air advection. Although their combined response to warming is pronounced, it is largely offset by the strengthened adiabatic cooling (17%) due to enhanced upward motions in warmer and moister ETCs, leading to a marginal ETC deepening at maturity (lowers by ~ 1.5–4 hPa). Nevertheless, the near-surface impacts strongly increase, particularly the local extreme precipitation (up to 56%). The convection-permitting and the coarse-grid simulations show qualitatively consistent ETC responses to global warming. We suggest that the systematically weaker ETCs (with higher central pressure) in 2.5 km compared to 80 km simulations might be primarily caused by model uncertainty in representing the convective-diabatic heating over the warm front near the cyclone core.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504523","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}

However, considerable discrepancies are present among models and between model simulations and observations of plant phenology, adding large uncertainties to future climate projections. Here we modified plant phenology in the Northern Hemisphere in the Community Earth System Model and conducted simulations to characterize how differences in plant phenology influence land-atmosphere coupling. Plant phenology changes the land surface and land-atmosphere interactions by directly modulating absorbed solar radiation and evapotranspiration and indirectly modifying cloud feedback and snow-albedo feedback. Over the Northern Hemisphere, the largest effects occur from March to June when seasonal deciduous phenology is modified from satellite-derived values to model simulations, which results in a >3K increase in surface temperature that propagates to 500hPa (~5km height). Phenology-induced changes in canopy evapotranspiration and surface temperature depend on soil moisture availability during the growing season. Surface temperature decreases significantly due to increasing latent heat flux and cloud reflection where soil moisture is abundant, while soil moisture control over evapotranspiration increases and surface temperature remains little-changed or even increases in more arid regions. Characterizing the influence of phenology on biogeophysical processes is critical, as significant impacts are present both at the land surface and in the atmospheric layers above.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504524","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}

However, their detailed characteristics from a synoptic perspective are yet to be revealed. In this study, we unravel the inherently complex nature of East Asian summer ARs by applying a multiscale index that quantifies the relative importance of high- (HF) and low-frequency (LF) moisture transports in AR development. It is found that both HF and LF processes contribute to shaping the summertime ARs in East Asia, contrasting to the wintertime ARs dominated by HF processes. Stratification of ARs with the multiscale index reveals that HF-dominant ARs are driven by baroclinically-deepening extratropical cyclones, analogous to the widely-accepted definition of canonical ARs. In contrast, LF-dominant ARs result from enhanced monsoon southwesterly between a quasi-stationary cyclone and anticyclone with the latter being the anomalous expansion of the western North Pacific subtropical high, reminiscent of the classical monsoon rainband. While HF-dominant ARs are transient, LF-dominant ARs are quasi-stationary with a higher potential for prolonged local impacts. The intermediate ARs, constituting a majority of East Asian summer ARs, exhibit synoptic conditions that combine HF- and LF-dominant ARs. Therefore, East Asian summer ARs cannot be explained by a single mechanism but should be considered as a continuum of extratropical cyclone-induced and fluctuating monsoon flow-induced moisture plumes. This finding would serve as a base for the advanced understanding of hydrological impacts, variability, and projected change of East Asian ARs.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504525","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}

Atmospheric general circulation model experiments suggest that these Rossby wave trains are regulated by El Niño-related sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the tropical central-eastern Pacific and atmospheric heating anomalies over western Australia. El Niño provides an important forcing of the atmospheric circulation anomalies over the Ross Sea via inducing a Rossby wave train, and most surface melt events over the RIS happen during El Niño years. In addition, the anomalous atmospheric heating over western Australia, which is independent of El Niño, is another important forcing that triggers a Rossby wave train extending from subtropical Australia to Ross Sea. The northerly flow towards the Ross Sea induces strong poleward moisture and heat transport, which further contributes to surface melt over the RIS.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"2016 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504526","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}

A novelty of this work is the adoption of a perturbation technique to generate a total of 1001 ensemble members to account for observational and analysis uncertainties. This allows for a probabilistic estimate of the start and retreat dates of the rainy season at the granularity of the Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for Global Precipitation Mission version 6 (IMERG) rainfall analysis over Central America. The seasonal cycle of the IMERG rainfall analysis is also found to verify with in situ observations in the region. Many large scale climate drivers affect regional rainfall, often with complex interactions that affect the onset date, retreat date, and magnitude of the seasonal rainfall cycle, making it difficult to predict the length or total quantity of seasonal rainfall using climate drivers alone. Once an onset date is established, however, this metric alone can be more indicative of both the length and total seasonal rainfall anomaly than predicting how the climate drivers will interact to affect the quantity and duration of upcoming seasonal rainfall. The local relationships of the start date with seasonal length and rainfall anomaly are leveraged to produce effective seasonal outlooks of the rainy season for the region by just monitoring the start date variations.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"151 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504529","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}

In February 2019, a planetary wave shifted along the U.S.-Canadian border, simultaneously leading to troughing with anomalous cold events and ridging over Alaska and northern Canada with abnormal warm events. Also, a dry-stabilized anticyclonic circulation over low latitudes induced warm extreme events over Mexico and U.S. Florida. Most attribution studies compare the climate model simulations under natural or actual forcing conditions and assess probabilistically from a climatological point of view. However, in this study, we use multiple ensembles from an operational forecast model, promising statistical as well as dynamically constrained attribution assessment, often referred to as the storyline approach to extreme event attribution. In the globally averaged results, increasing CO2 concentrations lead to distinct warming signals at the surface, resulting mainly from diabatic heating. Our study finds that CO2-induced warming eventually affects the possibility of extreme events in North America, quantifying the impact of anthropogenic forcing over less than a week’s forecast simulation. Our study assesses the validity of the storyline approach conditional on the forecast lead times, which is hindered by rising noise in CO2 signals and the declining performance of the forecast model. The forecast-based storyline approach is valid for at least half of the land area within a six-day lead time before the target extreme occurrence. Our attribution results highlight the importance of achieving net-zero emissions ahead of schedule to reduce the occurrence of severe heatwaves.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504527","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}

But fossil evidence from warmer paleoclimate periods indicates that the interior of North America never dropped below freezing even in the depths of winter, which implies that the maintenance of cold air outbreaks is unlikely to continue indefinitely with future warming. To identify key mechanisms affecting cold air outbreaks and understand how and why they will change in a warmer climate, we examine the development of North American cold air outbreaks in both a pre-industrial and a roughly 8×CO2 scenario using the Community Earth System Model, CESM2. We observe a sharp drop-off in the wintertime temperature distribution at the freezing temperature, suppressing below-freezing conditions in the warmer climate and above-freezing conditions in the pre-industrial case. The disappearance of Arctic sea ice and loss of the near-surface temperature inversion dramatically decrease the availability of below-freezing air in source regions. Using an air parcel trajectory analysis, we demonstrate a remarkable similarity in both the dynamics and diabatic effects acting on cold air masses in the two climate scenarios. Diabatic temperature evolution along cold air outbreak trajectories is a competition between cooling from longwave radiation and warming from boundary layer mixing. Surprisingly, while both diabatic effects strengthen in the warmer climate, the balance remains the same, with a net cooling of about −6 K over 10 days.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"149 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504528","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}

CGT can exert significant climatic impact across NH including Europe, East Asia and North America but how reliable coupled climate models simulate the characteristics of CGT is poorly understood. Here, twenty coupled models with their respective versions in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and CMIP6 are selected to evaluate their performance on CGT simulation. We find that while both CMIP5 and CMIP6 models are able to capture the basic features of CGT in multi-model mean (MMM), there are large inter-model discrepancies in the simulation of CGT pattern among CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. High-skill models exhibit strong action center over west-central Asia, coinciding with the pattern derived from reanalysis, while the corresponding action center in low-skill models are weaker. Further analyses demonstrate that high-skill models are capable of simulating more realistic Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) precipitation anomalies related to CGT. The resultant anomalous upper-tropospheric divergence over west-central Asia, acting as a Rossby wave source, can therefore excite the above-mentioned action center. This high- and low-skill model difference on CGT-ISM relationship is consistent in both CMIP5 and CMIP6. It is also found that high-skill models tend to simulate more realistic CGT-ENSO relationship. The relationship between simulation skills of CGT-ENSO correlation and CGT spatial pattern is attributed to the remote impact of ENSO on CGT wavetrain through affecting ISM precipitation anomalies.","PeriodicalId":15472,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Climate","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504453","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}

The results show that the convective inhibition (CIN) decreases dramatically around the onset dates, while the convective available potential energy (CAPE) reaches its maximum long before the onset, suggesting that the CIN, rather than CAPE, plays a dominant role in triggering convection. Further analysis indicates that the reduction of CIN is induced by the increased low-lever relative humidity, which is the result of enhanced water vapor convergence. The moisture transportation is primarily contributed by the wind transfer from easterlies to southeasterlies or southerlies along the southern boundary of convection jump region, in accordance with the monsoon trough establishment.
