Remote Influences of Land Surface Temperature and their Implications for Sea Surface Temperature Patterns
Bosong Zhang, Timothy M. Merlis
The spatial pattern of sea surface temperature (SST) plays a central role in shaping the climate system, yet the influence of land surface temperature (LST) on large-scale SST patt…
The Equilibrium Response of Atmospheric Machine-Learning Models to Uniform Sea Surface Temperature Warming
Bosong Zhang, Timothy M. Merlis
Machine learning models for the global atmosphere that are capable of producing stable, multi-year simulations of Earth's climate have recently been developed. However, the ability…
Perturbing the surface energy balance to emulate the historical pattern of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature trends
Timothy M. Merlis
The strengthening of the zonal sea surface temperature (SST) gradient observed in the tropical Pacific in recent decades is a regional climate change signal that may be outside the…
Symmetric and antisymmetric components of polar-amplified warming
Spencer A. Hill, Natalie J. Burls, Alexey Fedorov +1
CO-forced surface warming in general circulation models (GCMs) is initially polar-amplified in the Arctic but not Antarctic -- a largely hemispherically antisymmetric signal. N…
Changes in zonal surface temperature gradients and Walker circulations in a wide range of climates
Timothy M. Merlis, Tapio Schneider
Variations in zonal surface temperature gradients and zonally asymmetric tropical overturning circulations (Walker circulations) are examined over a wide range of climates simulate…
