Using a series of highly idealized model runs, Lu et al. found that ocean warming should cause atmospheric precipitation bands to shift toward the poles.The changes in atmospheric circulation ...

To unravel the mechanism behind this bistable behavior, the team used both real-world data and simulations with a high-resolution atmospheric general circulation model developed at Princeton ...

Changes in solar emissions can be amplified in atmospheric circulation patterns and lead to climate changes. Proxy data from lake sediments and long-term climate models support such a top-down ...

Semi-permanent high-pressure systems over the subtropical oceans, known as subtropical highs, influence atmospheric circulation, as well as global climate. For instance, subtropical highs largely ...

Using an idealized model, ... which also likely play a large role in the cooling, according to the scientists. But atmospheric circulation change should also be considered moving forward.

The authors tested the effect of ocean warming on atmospheric circulation and precipitation using a highly idealized "aquaplanet" model, a representation of the Earth that was just sea and sky ...
