A future Maunder Minimum type grand solar minimum, with total solar irradiance reduced by 0.25% over a 50 year period from 2020 to 2070, is imposed in a future climate change scenario experiment (RCP4.5) using, for the first time, a global coupled climate model that includes ozone chemistry and resolved stratospheric dynamics (Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model). This model has been shown to simulate two amplifying mechanisms that produce regional signals of decadal climate variability comparable to observations, and thus is considered a credible tool to simulate the Sun's effects on Earth's climate. After the initial decrease of solar radiation in 2020, globally averaged surface air temperature cools relative to the reference simulation by up to several tenths of a degree Centigrade. By the end of the grand solar minimum in 2070, the warming nearly catches up to the reference simulation. Thus, a future grand solar minimum could slow down but not stop global warming.

Exploring atmospheric circulation leading to three anomalous Australian spring heat events

Roseanna C. McKay, Julie M. Arblaster, Pandora Hope, Eun-Pa Lim

Summary: The study found that extreme heat events in Australia are associated with anomalous atmospheric circulation, with the tropical Indian Ocean potentially playing a key role. However, current forecast models tend to overemphasize the relationship with the tropical Pacific Ocean when predicting spring extreme heat, potentially underestimating the magnitude of future events.

Atlantic and Pacific tropics connected by mutually interactive decadal-timescale processes

Gerald A. Meehl, Aixue Hu, Frederic Castruccio, Matthew H. England, Susan C. Bates, Gokhan Danabasoglu, Shayne McGregor, Julie M. Arblaster, Shang-Ping Xie, Nan Rosenbloom

Summary: Model experiments show a weak opposite-sign SST response in the tropical Pacific when observed SSTs are specified in the Atlantic, and a weak same-sign response in the tropical Atlantic when observed SSTs are specified in the tropical Pacific. Net surface heat flux in the Atlantic and ocean dynamics in the Pacific play contrasting roles in the ocean response to specified SSTs in the respective basins. Processes in the Pacific and Atlantic are sequentially interactive through the atmospheric Walker circulation for the Atlantic response to the Pacific, with contributions from midlatitude teleconnections.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of electron precipitation from Earth's radiation belts on atmospheric composition, using data from NASA Van Allen Probes and NSF FIREBIRD II CubeSats. Results suggest that current parameterizations may underestimate the duration of events and higher energy electron contributions to atmospheric ionization and NOx concentrations.

Revisiting ENSO and IOD Contributions to Australian Precipitation

Giovanni Liguori, Shayne McGregor, Martin Singh, Julie Arblaster, Emanuele Di Lorenzo

Summary: Tropical modes of variability, such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), have a strong influence on the interannual variability of Australian precipitation. However, the commonly used indices of ENSO and IOD display significant co-variability, making it difficult to quantify the independent contribution of each mode to precipitation anomalies. In this study, through modeling experiments, it is found that the ENSO-only-driven precipitation patterns significantly underestimate the impact of ENSO on Australian precipitation when the influence of IOD is statistically removed. A conceptual model is proposed to effectively separate the contribution of each mode to Australian precipitation variability.

The Role of Coupled Feedbacks in the Decadal Variability of the Southern Hemisphere Eddy-Driven Jet

Dongxia Yang, Julie M. Arblaster, Gerald A. Meehl, Matthew H. England

Summary: This study contrasts the response of the Southern Hemisphere eddy-driven jet to tropical Pacific decadal variability, finding that the South Pacific jet is mainly influenced by direct atmospheric teleconnections from the central and eastern tropical Pacific SST. The coupled PAC-C experiment captures the poleward shift of the South Atlantic-Indian jet, indicating that air-sea coupling plays a crucial role in driving the teleconnections between tropical Pacific SST anomalies and South Atlantic-Indian jet variations.

The Response of Precipitation Extremes to the Twentieth-and Twenty-First-Century Global Temperature Change in a Comprehensive Suite of CESM1 Large Ensemble Simulation: Revisiting the Role of Forcing Agents Vs. the Role of Forcing Magnitudes

Yangyang Xu, Lei Lin, Chenrui Diao, Zhili Wang, Susan Bates, Julie Arblaster

Summary: The response of precipitation extremes (PEs) to global warming is found to be nonlinear. There are concerns regarding the accuracy of approximating the PE response to a single forcing using simulations that exclude one specific forcing. Previous studies suggesting a larger sensitivity of PE to aerosol forcing compared to greenhouse gases are questioned. This study reevaluates the PE sensitivity to greenhouse gases and aerosols using CESM1 ensemble simulations and confirms that PE sensitivity to aerosols is stronger than that due to greenhouse gases within similar warming regimes, but the difference is smaller than previously estimated. The study also suggests that the additivity assumption is largely valid for isolating the PE response due to aerosol forcing from the simulations when the warming regime is small.

On the Dynamics of Indian Ocean Teleconnections into the Southern Hemisphere during Austral Winter

Z. E. Gillett, H. H. Hendon, J. M. Arblaster, H. Lin, D. Fuchs

Summary: Stationary Rossby waves forced by the Indian Ocean dipole play a significant role in Southern Hemisphere weather and climate. The dynamics of these teleconnections are not fully understood, but recent studies suggest that these waves can overcome the negative beta* barrier and propagate into the extratropics of the Southern Hemisphere.

Investigating Tropical Versus Extratropical Influences on the Southern Hemisphere Tropical Edge in the Unified Model

P. F. Freisen, J. M. Arblaster, C. Jakob, J. M. Rodriguez

Summary: Observations and climate models have shown the widening of the tropical Hadley cell circulation since the late 1970s. However, discrepancies in expansion rates between observations and models exist, and the driving influence of tropical or extratropical processes on these changes is still not well understood. This study finds that correcting extratropical biases improves the simulation of the Southern Hemisphere tropical edge more consistently than correcting tropical biases.

Sensitivity of the Southern Hemisphere Wintertime Teleconnection to the Location of ENSO Heating

Z. E. Gillett, H. H. Hendon, J. M. Arblaster, H. Lin

Summary: The response of the Southern Hemisphere extratropical atmospheric circulation to anomalous convection in the tropical western and eastern Pacific Ocean is different. The response to westward-located heating has a meridio-nal dipole in the South Pacific, while the response to eastward-located heating disperses poleward and eastward. This study investigates the cause of this asymmetry and shows that the subtropical jet and transient eddy feedback play important roles in establishing the response.

Ozone impact from solar energetic particles cools the polar stratosphere

Monika E. Szelag, Daniel R. Marsh, Pekka T. Verronen, Annika Seppala, Niilo Kalakoski

Summary: This study examines the impact of solar energetic particle precipitation (EPP) on the polar stratosphere using a chemistry-climate model. The findings suggest that the current EPP forcing used in climate simulations underestimates its effects on ozone and temperature. The study highlights the need for an improved representation of decadal EPP forcing in climate simulations.

Impact of Zonal and Meridional Atmospheric Flow on Surface Climate and Extremes in the Southern Hemisphere

Ghyslaine Boschat, Ariaan Purich, Irina Rudeva, Julie Arblaster

Summary: The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) describes the annular or zonal component of large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) extratropics and affects surface climate across the SH. In addition to the dominant annular flow in austral summer, zonal wave 3 (ZW3) patterns with zonal asymmetries are evident in other seasons. This study explores the influence of both SAM and ZW3 on surface climate, finding that ZW3 modulates the impact of SAM and plays a significant role in the surface climate impacts of large-scale SH circulation states, particularly in nonsummer seasons.

Comparison between ozone column depths and methane lifetimes computed by one- and three-dimensional models at different atmospheric O2 levels

A. Ji, J. F. Kasting, G. J. Cooke, D. R. Marsh, K. Tsigaridis

Summary: Recently, Cooke et al. used a three-dimensional coupled chemistry-climate model to study ozone column depths at various O2 levels, finding that previous one-dimensional models may have overestimated ozone depth and methane lifetime. Comparing their model with others, they identified multiple parameters contributing to the discrepancies in ozone column depths, including H2O, transport rates, and chemical mechanisms. Including absorption and scattering in specific wavelength regions can reduce differences in OH concentration and methane lifetime. Developing accurate parameterizations for ozone photolysis and repeating calculations in different models may resolve these issues.
