Greater committed warming after accounting for the pattern effect

Chen Zhou et al.

Summary: The Earth's energy budget is influenced by spatial inhomogeneities in sea surface temperature and sea ice changes, as well as the pattern effect of global sea surface temperature. Ignoring these factors could lead to overestimation of future climate warming and increased uncertainty in climate projections. Including the pattern effect in projections indicates a stronger counteracting force against warming than expected, potentially exceeding current climate goals.

Natural variability contributes to model-satellite differences in tropical tropospheric warming

Stephen Po-Chedley et al.

Summary: There is a discrepancy between GCMs and satellite observations regarding the warming trend of the midtroposphere temperature in the tropics. Some model simulations show trends that align with observations while others exhibit subdued warming, particularly in the tropical Pacific. The latest generation of GCMs also demonstrate muted tropical tropospheric warming trends over the central and eastern Pacific.
