Sudden stratospheric warmings

MP Baldwin, B Ayarzagüena, T Birner… - Reviews of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are impressive fluid dynamical events in which
large and rapid temperature increases in the winter polar stratosphere (∼ 10–50 km) are …

Linking Arctic variability and change with extreme winter weather in the United States

J Cohen, L Agel, M Barlow, CI Garfinkel, I White - Science, 2021 - science.org
The Arctic is warming at a rate twice the global average and severe winter weather is
reported to be increasing across many heavily populated mid-latitude regions, but there is …

[HTML][HTML] The stratosphere: A review of the dynamics and variability

N Butchart - Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2022 - wcd.copernicus.org
Large-scale, intra-seasonal to inter-annual variability of the stratosphere is reviewed. Much
of the variability is dynamical and induced by waves emanating from the troposphere. It is …

Machine Learning Gravity Wave Parameterization Generalizes to Capture the QBO and Response to Increased CO2

ZI Espinosa, A Sheshadri, GR Cain… - Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
We present single‐column gravity wave parameterizations (GWPs) that use machine
learning to emulate non‐orographic gravity wave (GW) drag and demonstrate their ability to …

The role of atmospheric dynamics and large‐scale topography in driving heatwaves

B Jiménez‐Esteve… - Quarterly Journal of the …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Heatwaves are weather events characterized by extreme near‐surface temperature
anomalies that persist for several days, and therefore lead to catastrophic impacts on natural …

A QBO cookbook: Sensitivity of the quasi‐biennial oscillation to resolution, resolved waves, and parameterized gravity waves

CI Garfinkel, EP Gerber, O Shamir… - Journal of Advances …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
An intermediate complexity moist general circulation model is used to investigate the
sensitivity of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) to resolution, diffusion, tropical …

Early Eocene low orography and high methane enhance Arctic warming via polar stratospheric clouds

D Dutta, M Jucker, SC Sherwood, KJ Meissner… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Proxy data suggest that the early Eocene (∼ 56–47.8 million years ago) was characterized
by a much weaker equator-to-pole temperature gradient than today. However, general …

Similar North Pacific variability despite suppressed El Niño variability in the warm mid-Pliocene climate

AM Oldeman, MLJ Baatsen… - Earth System …, 2024 - esd.copernicus.org
The mid-Pliocene is the most recent geological period with similar atmospheric CO 2
concentration to the present day and similar surface temperatures to those projected at the …
