Process drivers, inter-model spread, and the path forward: A review of amplified Arctic warming
Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This
understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …

The recent emergence of Arctic amplification
Arctic Amplification is robustly seen in climate model simulations of future warming and in
the paleoclimate record. Here, we focus on the past century of observations. We show that …

Hydrological consequences of solar geoengineering
As atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations rise and climate change becomes more
destructive, geoengineering has become a subject of serious consideration. By reflecting a …

Arctic amplification, and its seasonal migration, over a wide range of abrupt CO2 forcing
Arctic amplification (AA), the larger warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the planet,
is widely attributed to the increasing concentrations of atmospheric CO2, and is caused by …

Seasonal Changes in Atmospheric Heat Transport to the Arctic Under Increased CO2
Arctic warming under increased CO2 peaks in winter, but is influenced by summer forcing
via seasonal ocean heat storage. Yet changes in atmospheric heat transport into the Arctic …

Seasonality in Arctic warming driven by sea ice effective heat capacity
Arctic surface warming under greenhouse gas forcing peaks in winter and reaches its
minimum during summer in both observations and model projections. Many mechanisms …

Polar amplification in idealized climates: The role of ice, moisture, and seasons
The drivers of polar amplification are investigated by isolating the role of sea‐ice processes,
moist energy transport, and the seasonal cycle of insolation in two models, an energy …
