Dynamical Consequences of Polar Amplification on Standing Rossby Waves: a Laboratory Perspective
Kial D. Stewart, Thomas G. Schmaltz, Callum J. Shakespeare
Polar amplification describes the predicted reduction in the latitudinal surface temperature gradient, which will have physical implications for mid-latitude dynamics. The precise…

The Sensitivity of Sea Ice Brine Fraction to the Freezing Temperature and Orientation
Kial Stewart, William Palm, Callum Shakespeare +1
Pound for pound, sea ice is the most important component of Earth's climate system. The changing conditions in which sea ice forms and exists are likely to affect the properties of…
