There is still debate over what kind of ocean circulation change causes the change in heat transport.

Consequently, global surface warming is significantly reduced by circulation changes.

The paper reports some results on the role of large scale circulation changes (which they conclude are minor) but I'll concentrate on the results relating to water vapor.

The higher atmosphere does result in air circulation changes that potentially have a climate impact but that is another story that I have dealt with elsewhere.

Some of these observed circulation changes are associated with climate change.

This thesis presents the results of several general circulation model simulations aimed at studying the effect of ocean circulation changes when they occur in conjunction with increased atmospheric trace gas concentrations.

I think circulation changes of this kind can account for this.

Hence, ocean circulation changes potentially act to warm the surface climate.

Wills et al. (2016) present an analysis of how circulation changes influence the global pattern of change in net precipitation (precipitation minus evaporation, P — E).

Non-annular atmospheric circulation change induced by stratospheric ozone depletion and its role in the recent increase of Antarctic sea ice extent.

This orbital influence may possibly be explained by circulation changes from strong temperature contrasts between land and sea.

This Hadley circulation change results in a shift in the tropical precipitation band, in agreement with the dynamics of prior model studies that have identified interhemisperical ecoclimate teleconnections [12].

That wind - driven circulation change leads to cooler ocean temperatures on the surface of the eastern Pacific, and more heat being mixed in and stored in the western Pacific down to about 300 meters (984 feet) deep, said England.

Wind fields are capable of great volatility and very rapid global - scale teleconnections, and they are efficient generators of oceanic circulation changes and (more speculatively) of multiple states relative to great ice sheets.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.

On that basis our CO2 emissions would give rise to circulation changes affecting regional and local climates but not average global surface temperatures and the scale of their effect would be insignificant since our emissions comprise such a small portion of atmospheric mass which is the primary determinant of surface temperature.

At this scale circulation changes likely do have a considerable impact, perhaps even on a multidecadal timescale.

A recent paper by Vecchi and Soden (preprint) published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters has been widely touted in the news (and some egregiously bad editorials), and the blogosphere as suggesting that increased vertical wind shear associated with tropical circulation changes may offset any tendencies for increased hurricane activity in the tropical Atlantic due to warming oceans.

A natural coupled mode of climate variability associated with both surface temperature variations tied to El Niño and atmospheric circulation changes across the equatorial Pacific (see also «Southern Oscillation Index»).

It may well be that the West will luck out as rising greenhouse gases induce an equatorial warming, or an El Niño - like response, and the resulting circulation changes increase precipitation across the mid-latitudes.

Climate change related to a global warming is more than just temperature and precipitation - massive atmospheric circulations change too, and these changes can have consequences.

The available data are insufficient to say if the changes in O2 are caused by natural variability or are trends that are likely to persist in the future, but they do indicate that large - scale changes in ocean physics influence natural biogeochemical cycles, and thus the cycles of O2 and CO2 are likely to undergo changes if ocean circulation changes persist in the future.
