It seems doubtful that emergent constraints will be able to provide a useful, reliable constraint on real - world ECS unless and until GCMs are demonstrably able to simulate the climate system — ocean as well as atmosphere — with much greater fidelity, including as to SST
warming patterns under multidecadal greenhouse gas driven warming.
And the researchers say: «The projected ocean surface
warming pattern under increasing greenhouse gas forcing suggests that typhoons striking eastern mainland China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan will intensify further.

Scientists have long explained that winter and record cold snaps will not disappear as a result of climate change, and that cold spikes may get worse as a result of shifting weather
patterns under global
warming.
In late 2010 and early 2011, the continent Down
Under received about twice its normal complement of rain, thanks in large part to unusually
warm sea - surface temperatures just north of Australia and a particularly strong La Niña — in essence, combining a source of
warm humid air with the weather
patterns that steered the moisture over the continent where it condensed and fell as precipitation.
«These

The authors of the study said the change could be temporary, given the short span of observations, but it matches a slight but steady
warming trend in the affected ocean regions and also matches a
pattern scientists have predicted would occur
under human - caused global
warming.
Thus, modeling exercises have for decades now shown some pretty persistent
patterns of recurrence, such as drying trends
under warming in certain areas (notably the Mediterranean basin, including the Middle East) and the American Southwest —
patterns we see in the real world.
Typical temperature reconstructions for the late Pliocene however [see one at the top of this story - 3.3 - 3.0 Ma] already show an Earth in which a
warmer climatic state is indeed [through for instance ice albedo feedbacks] relatively strong around the poles, and (on average) weaker around the equator, exactly the
pattern that is monitored
under the current climate
warming.
Yet, we explained there is also reasonable basis for concern that a
warming world may at least temporarily increase tornado damage including the fact that oceans are now
warmer, and regional ocean circulation cycles such as La Nina / El Nino
patterns in the Pacific which affect upper atmospheric conditions appear to becoming more chaotic
under the influence of climate change.
Human
warming and a climate change induced blocking
pattern have withered California
under record drought conditions for the better part of three years now.
The American Southwest has experienced a series of severe droughts interspersed with strong wet episodes over the past decades, prompting questions about future climate
patterns and potential intensification of weather disruptions
under warming conditions.
In other words,
under solar or anthropogenic influence the changes in mean climate values, such as the global temperature, are less important than increased duration of certain climate
patterns associated say with cold conditions in some regions and
warm conditions in the other regions
If this eternally - implied - but -
under - supported idea that shifts in ocean
patterns might be responsible for
warming the oceans to depth of 2000m merits all these righteous demands for a «special team», I'd like to formally submit my request for a green team focused on the theory that the
warming is caused by a progressive shift in mercury response to temperature caused by correlation with cosmic positioning relative to the galactic center.
The two models were run
under different conditions set by the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to study the general
pattern of
warming in the 20th century.
Depicting life in a not - too - distant future shaped by already present
warming trends, the report warns that even 20 to 30 years from now, shifting rain
patterns could leave some areas
under water and others without enough water for drinking, irrigation or power generation.
But the role of climate change in causing the drought itself is unclear — the more immediate cause is an intermittent weather
pattern called La Niña, and research is still
under way on whether that cycle is being altered or intensified by global
warming, as some researchers suspect.
Arctic Currents Weaken or Stop With Double CO2 Levels What they found was that
under a business as usual scenario, with CO2 levels doubling by 2070, the Transpolar Drift stops and other Arctic currents weaken due to, among other factors, melting of sea ice and changed wind
patterns in a
warmer world.
An alternative approach uses simple climate model projections of global
warming under stabilisation to scale AOGCM
patterns of climate change assuming unmitigated emissions, and then uses the resulting scenarios to assess regional impacts (e.g., Bakkenes et al., 2006).
