Here is
a zonally averaged mean temperature plot for six model configurations using GISS - E2 that have a range of about 1ºC in their global mean temperature.

Zonally averaged values of signal (red) and noise (black) are shown where signal is the
mean difference in the variable between 1989 - 2039 and 1860 - 1910, and noise is the standard deviation of the variable for 1860 - 1910.
... Polar amplification explains in part why Greenland Ice Sheet and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appear to be highly sensitive to relatively small increases in CO2 concentration and global
mean temperature... Polar amplification occurs if the magnitude of
zonally averaged surface temperature change at high latitudes exceeds the globally
averaged temperature change, in response to climate forcings and on time scales greater than the annual cycle.

mean winter circulation to
zonally averaged SST trends.
In our paper, we have dealt with the
zonally averaged zonal winds as the
mean flow and excluded from our consideration packets of quasistationary planetary waves trapped in predominantly meridional elongated waveguides, specifically those originating in the tropics.
