1 Energetic and precipitation responses in the Sahel to sea surface temperature perturbations Spencer A. Hill Yi Ming, Isaac Held, Leo Donner, Ming Zhao
2 Motivations Severe uncertainty in rainfall response to anthropogenic warming Fig. 1a, Park et al 215 Sahel P in RCP8.5 runs
3 Motivations GFDL AM2.1: uniform 2 K SST warming massive Sahel drying. Plausible? AM2.1 JAS δp in AGCMs in +2K experiments Fig. 5 of Held et al 25 Warm colors=drying. So for AM2.1 at least, full coupled response controlled by atmosphere response to mean SST warming
4 Energetic and precipitation responses in the Sahel to sea surface temperature perturbations GFDL AM2.1: Mean SST warming dries Sahel via enhanced Sahara-Sahel MSE difference Other models: MSE gradient-based drying mechanism robust & linked to climatological convective depth
5 Energetic and precipitation responses in the Sahel to sea surface temperature perturbations GFDL AM2.1: Mean SST warming dries Sahel via enhanced Sahara-Sahel MSE difference Other models: MSE gradient-based drying mechanism robust & linked to climatological convective depth

Bottom: UW convection Replacement: U. Washington (UW), Bretherton et al. 24 As configured for HiRAM UW designed for shallow convection: more quiescent Whereas RAS very active
7 9 RAS vs. UW Replacing AM2.1 convection scheme causes drying to disappear entirely (a) 4% RAS (b) +% UW 12 9 Focus on differences in large-scale control climate Rather than convective processes themselves dimensionless JAS δp in +2 K runs. Top: default, RAS. Bottom: UW convection.

12 Other models Do Sahel drying mechanisms in AM2.1 extend to other models? 7 GFDL model variants AM2.1, AM2.1-UW, AM2.5, AM, c9-am, HiRAM, c48-hiram 1 CMIP5 models Those that ran amip and amip4k Uniform SST perturbation: +2 K for GFDL; +4 K for CMIP5 But still δp still mismatch after normalizing
13 Other models Do Sahel drying mechanisms in AM2.1 extend to other models? Sahel JAS rainfall reduction in 14 of 17 models! outliers = GFDL variants using UW And northerly dry advection enhanced in all

21 AMS request Greatest obs need: better understanding of discrepancies among reanalyses Reanalyses MIP? I.e. run different reanalysis models w/ identical obs. data And run each reanalysis product with the input data of the others (Not sure if this is feasible from technical standpoint)
