• Abrupt Climate and Weather Changes Across Time Scales 

      Lohmann, GerritORCIDiD; Butzin, MartinORCIDiD; Eissner, Nina; Shi, XiaoxuORCIDiD; Stepanek, ChristianORCIDiD (Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2020)
      The past provides evidence of abrupt climate shifts and changes in the frequency of climate and weather extremes. We explore the nonlinear response to orbital forcing and then consider climate millennial variability down ...
    • Poleward Shift of the Major Ocean Gyres Detected in a Warming Climate 

      Yang, HuORCIDiD; Lohmann, GerritORCIDiD; Krebs-Kanzow, UtaORCIDiD; Ionita, MonicaORCIDiD; Shi, XiaoxuORCIDiD; Sidorenko, DimitryORCIDiD; Gong, XunORCIDiD; Chen, XueenORCIDiD; Gowan, Evan J.ORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      Recent evidence shows that wind-driven ocean currents, like the western boundary currents, are strongly affected by global warming. However, due to insufficient observations both on temporal and spatial scales, the impact ...
    • Tropical Expansion Driven by Poleward Advancing Midlatitude Meridional Temperature Gradients 

      Yang, HuORCIDiD; Lohmann, GerritORCIDiD; Lu, JianORCIDiD; Gowan, Evan J.ORCIDiD; Shi, XiaoxuORCIDiD; Liu, Jiping; Wang, QiangORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2020)
      An abundance of evidence indicates that the tropics are expanding. Despite many attempts to decipher the cause, the underlying dynamical mechanism driving tropical expansion is still not entirely clear. Here, based on ...
