Process Drivers, Inter-Model Spread, and the Path Forward: A Review of Amplified Arctic Warming

Patrick C. Taylor et al.

Summary: Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process, and its mechanisms have been clarified through over a century of research. However, the uncertainty in Arctic climate projections is larger than in any other region, requiring a quantitative process understanding to reduce uncertainty. This paper reviews the history of AA science, summarizes observed Arctic changes, discusses modeling approaches and feedback diagnostics, and provides recommendations to accelerate progress towards reduced uncertainty.

Seasonality in Arctic Warming Driven by Sea Ice Effective Heat Capacity

Lily C. Hahn et al.

Summary: Arctic surface warming peaks in winter and reaches its minimum during summer. The change in effective heat capacity of sea ice plays a central role in explaining this seasonal asymmetry.

Cold-Season Arctic Amplification Driven by Arctic Ocean-Mediated Seasonal Energy Transfer

Eui-Seok Chung et al.

Summary: Research suggests that the Arctic amplification is primarily due to the lapse-rate feedback and sea-ice albedo feedback. The Arctic Ocean acts as a heat capacitor, storing heat during summer and releasing it back into the atmosphere in fall and winter, intensifying surface warming and moistening. This process enhances longwave feedback and explains the predominance of Arctic amplification in fall and winter.

Partitioning uncertainty in projections of Arctic sea ice

David B. Bonan et al.

Summary: Improved understanding of the sources of uncertainty in Arctic sea ice projections is crucial for assessing the impacts of changing Arctic environment. This study finds that internal variability, model structure, and emissions scenario all play significant roles in predicting Arctic sea-ice area. Internal variability has a larger impact on uncertainty in the short term, while emissions scenario becomes dominant over longer time scales. Additionally, there is a considerable dependency of model uncertainty on the season, with larger uncertainties in winter months.

Arctic Warming Revealed by Multiple CMIP6 Models: Evaluation of Historical Simulations and Quantification of Future Projection Uncertainties

Ziyi Cai et al.

Summary: The study indicates that significant Arctic warming is expected in the future, but there are large intermodel spread and uncertainties in CMIP6 models, with the cold bias in the oceanic regions being the main contributor to model uncertainties.

Inferring future warming in the Arctic from the observed global warming trend and CMIP6 simulations

Hu Xiao-Ming et al.

Summary: The emergent constraint approach uses multi-model ensembles to link current/past climate variability to future climate changes, reducing uncertainty in multi-model projections. CMIP6 models show stronger Arctic warming but with larger spread, with projections positively correlated to simulated global warming trends during 1981-2011. Using observed global warming during the instrumental era can provide tighter constraints on future Arctic warming.

Arctic amplification of climate change: a review of underlying mechanisms

Michael Previdi et al.

Summary: Arctic amplification (AA) is a prominent feature of climate change, mainly caused by local feedbacks and changes in energy transport. The feedbacks and energy transport changes are highly dependent on the climate system state, with significant implications for past and future climate change.

Polar Amplification in Idealized Climates: The Role of Ice, Moisture, and Seasons

Nicole Feldl et al.

Summary: The drivers of polar amplification, including sea-ice processes, moist energy transport, and the seasonal cycle of insolation, all play important roles. However, thermodynamic ice processes slightly reduce polar amplification. Disabling latent heat transport significantly decreases polar amplification, suggesting that the warming effect of ice and moist transport processes may be nearly additive.

The Impact of Sea-Ice Loss on Arctic Climate Feedbacks and Their Role for Arctic Amplification

Matthew Jenkins et al.

Summary: Arctic amplification, the enhanced Arctic warming, is mainly attributed to intensified winter oceanic heating associated with sea-ice loss, aided by positive surface albedo feedback in summer and positive cloud feedback in winter.

Local and Remote Atmospheric Circulation Drivers of Arctic Change: A Review

Gina R. Henderson et al.

Summary: Arctic amplification is a fundamental feature of Earth's climate system, but its specific causes are not fully understood. The future Arctic amplification may be influenced by multiple mechanisms, including both local processes and external forces. Climate change will have impacts on sea ice, ice sheet surface mass balance, snow cover, and other surface cryospheric variables in the Arctic region.

Contributions to Polar Amplification in CMIP5 and CMIP6 Models

L. C. Hahn et al.

Summary: The study found that in CMIP6, compared to CMIP5, stronger polar warming is due to a larger surface albedo feedback and less-negative cloud feedback in the Arctic, as well as increased poleward moisture transport in the Antarctic. In polar warming, seasonal ocean heat storage and winter-amplified temperature feedbacks play the most important roles.

Changes in polar amplification in response to increasing warming in CMIP6

Shenlin Cai et al.

Summary: The study found that the Arctic is more susceptible to global warming than the Antarctic, primarily due to the lapse rate, albedo, and Planck feedback mechanisms. Additionally, ocean heat uptake causes more significant polar warming in winter.
