DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075050
Abstract: The rapid Indian Ocean warming during the early-21th century was a major heat sink for the recent global surface warming slowdown. Analysis of observational data and ocean model experiments reveals that during 2003–2012 more than… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017gl075080
Abstract: The climate response after cessation of carbon emissions is examined here, exploiting a single equation connecting surface warming to cumulative carbon emissions. The multi-centennial response to an idealized pulse of carbon is considered by diagnosing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-018-4524-5
Abstract: It has been argued in the literature that global temperature increased at a reduced rate between approximately 1998 and 2013, a phenomenon known as the ‘global warming hiatus’. Statistically motivated studies searching for numerical evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04786-1
Abstract: We investigate the opposing effects of direct radiative forcing and sea surface warming on the atmospheric circulation using a hierarchy of models. In large ensembles of three general circulation models, direct $$\hbox {CO}_2$$CO2 forcing produces… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089207
Abstract: Understanding the influence of clouds on amplified Arctic surface warming remains an important unsolved research problem. Here, this cloud influence is directly quantified by disabling cloud radiative feedbacks or “cloud locking” within a state‐of‐the‐art and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl091923
Abstract: Long‐term (1961–2010) observations of dew data collected at 597 stations over China show that dew frequency decreased by 5.2 days per decade due primarily to near‐surface warming and associated decreases in relative humidity (RH). Moreover,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl092509
Abstract: Severe ozone loss and significant surface warming anomalies in the Siberian Arctic were observed in spring 2020. Here, we show that the anomalous surface warming was likely related to the ozone loss. The dramatic Arctic… read more here.

The subtle origins of surface-warming hiatuses

DOI: 10.1038/nclimate3274
Abstract: Using an energy budget approach to understanding decadal temperature trends, this study highlights that observational uncertainty exceeds energy–flux deviations that affect such trends. Thus the origin of recent warming slowdown is unidentifiable. read more here.
