Jiacan has worked on several projects on climate dynamics, including the response of large - scale circulations in the warming climate, its effects on regional weather patterns and extreme events, tropical influence on mid-latitude weather, and
dynamical mechanisms of sub-seasonal variability of mid-latitude jet streams.
It presents a significant reinterpretation of the region's recent climate change origins, showing that atmospheric conditions have changed substantially over the last century, that these changes are not likely related to historical anthropogenic and natural radiative forcing, and that
dynamical mechanisms of interannual and multidecadal temperature variability can also apply to observed century - long trends.

So our point is,
of course, that regardless
of what
mechanisms are responsible for a mean change in the Walker circulation in the AR4 simulations you've analyzed, if the simulations are not getting the

of the change in the Walker circulation is wrong, regardless
of what
mechanisms are responsible for the changes in the simulations analyzed.

Although the chain
of the actual physical
mechanisms generating these cycles is still obscure, (I have argued in my previous papers that the available climatic data would suggest an astronomical modulation
of the cloud cover that would induce small oscillations in the albedo that, consequently, would cause oscillations in the surface temperature also by modulating ocean oscillations), the detected cycles can surely be considered from a purely geometrical point
of view as a description
of the
