The climate is a forced and dissipative nonlinear system featuring nontrivial dynamics on a
vast range of spatial and temporal scales. The understanding of the climate's structural and …

The AR5 concluded that human influence on the climate system is clear, evident from
increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, positive radiative forcing …

This chapter assesses the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate
(present through mid-century). Unless otherwise stated," near-term" change and the …

There is a long-standing debate on how the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude
may change during the twenty-first century in response to global warming. Here we identify …

The observational records have shown a strengthening of the Pacific Walker circulation
(PWC) since 1979. However, whether the observed change is forced by external forcing or …

Abstract The Pacific Walker circulation is a large overturning cell that spans the tropical
Pacific Ocean, characterized by rising motion (lower sea-level pressure) over Indonesia and …

Abstract The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) has an outsized influence on weather and
climate worldwide. Yet the PWC response to external forcings is unclear,, with empirical data …

Future changes in the mean climate of the tropical Pacific and characteristics of the El
Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are established as being likely. Determining the time of …

A strengthening of the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) over recent decades triggered an
intense debate on the validity of model-projected weakening of the PWC in response to …
