Understanding Model-Observation Discrepancies in Satellite Retrievals of Atmospheric Temperature Using GISS ModelE

Madeline C. Casas et al.

Summary: In this study, we analyze the representation of satellite-retrieved atmospheric temperature diagnostics in historical simulations of climate change during the satellite era. We consider multiple factors such as greenhouse gases, ocean coupling, volcanic aerosols, solar activity, and compositional and dynamic feedbacks. We find that while overall temperature trends are well captured, discrepancies exist at all levels and have multiple causes, with ozone depletion and feedbacks being the most influential factor for stratospheric comparisons and ocean heat uptake and tropospheric aerosols playing a role in tropospheric skill.

Mid-Tropospheric Layer Temperature Record Derived From Satellite Microwave Sounder Observations With Backward Merging Approach

Cheng-Zhi Zou et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new version (v5.0) of the NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) mid-tropospheric temperature (TMT) time series, which uses a backward-merging approach to intercalibrate 16 satellite-based microwave sounding records and provides reliable TMT records for climate change research.

Spurious Late Historical-Era Warming in CESM2 Driven by Prescribed Biomass Burning Emissions

J. T. Fasullo et al.

Summary: Using the CMIP6 forcing database, it was found that a spurious increase in prescribed biomass burning emissions resulted in warming in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics. Through targeted sensitivity experiments, it was shown that this warming was specifically caused by biomass burning variability from 40 degrees to 70 degrees N, which led to cloud thinning and an increase in absorbed solar radiation. This study highlights the potential pitfalls of incorporating discontinuities in climate forcing data sets.

Internal variability and forcing influence model-satellite differences in the rate of tropical tropospheric warming

Stephen Po-Chedley et al.

Summary: By applying machine learning to climate model simulations and observations, this study finds that external forcing contributes to tropical tropospheric warming, but internal variability offsets this warming. The study also highlights the impact of discontinuity in biomass-burning aerosol emissions on simulated warming trends, potentially leading to bias in climate models.

Robust Anthropogenic Signal Identified in the Seasonal Cycle of Tropospheric Temperature

Benjamin D. Santer et al.

Summary: The study used five climate models to conduct large ensembles and found that despite differences in models, the seasonal cycle changes in T-AC(x, t) in satellite data and models are similar and identifiable. The global-scale fingerprint patterns, distinct from smaller-scale internal variability patterns, are robustly detectable in both observations and models, indicating common forced T-AC(x, t) changes driven by basic physical processes.

The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979

Mika Rantanen et al.

Summary: Analyses of observations and climate simulations suggest that Arctic Amplification has been stronger than expected and underestimated in climate models. The warming in the Arctic has been nearly four times faster than the global average over the past 43 years, which is a higher ratio than previously reported. This finding indicates the urgency and severity of Arctic warming.

CMIP5/6 models project little change in the statistical characteristics of sudden stratospheric warmings in the 21st century

Jian Rao et al.

Summary: The study using state-of-the-art models found that there may be a slight increase in the frequency of sudden stratospheric warming events under moderate and strong emission scenarios, but other characteristics will not change significantly. The increase in frequency is most pronounced in mid-late winter in CMIP6, while no clear shift in seasonality is expected.

Stratospheric Temperature and Ozone Anomalies Associated With the 2020 Australian New Year Fires

L. A. Rieger et al.

Summary: After the 2020 Australian bushfires, satellite observations documented stratospheric aerosol, temperature, and ozone anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere. The anomalies were comparable to the effects of the Calbuco eruption in 2015, with enhanced aerosols and warm temperature anomalies leading to midlatitude ozone depletion. The overall effects resembled those of the 2015 eruption, with record low ozone levels and polar temperatures.

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.

Using Climate Model Simulations to Constrain Observations

Benjamin D. Santer et al.

Summary: The study compares atmospheric temperature changes in CMIP5 and CMIP6 model ensembles with satellite data, revealing discrepancies in tropical behavior and anomalous covariance behavior in observational datasets. The findings suggest a systematic bias in satellite tropospheric temperature trends or an overestimate of observed atmospheric moistening signals. Further research is needed to determine the credibility of these interpretations.

Significant impact of forcing uncertainty in a large ensemble of climate model simulations

John C. Fyfe et al.

Summary: This study analyzes a large ensemble of simulations using a comprehensive Earth System Model to quantify uncertainties in global climate change attributable to differences in prescribed forcings. Significant differences in simulated global surface air temperature and Arctic sea ice area are found due to volcanic and anthropogenic aerosol forcings.
