4 Impact of Two- way Coupling Introduc0on Method Results Two-way Coupling is important for natural climate variability. Lack of coupling leads to inconsistency b/w atmos and ocean.
5 Impact of Two- way Coupling Introduc0on Method Results The importance of two-way coupling for natural climate variability is well documented. (e.g., Barsugli and Battisti 1998; Wang et al. 2005; Wu et al. 2006) coupled VS uncoupled What about anthropogenic climate change? (Wu et al. 2006)
6 Impact of Two- way Coupling IntroducAon Method Results Compare coupled and uncoupled simulations that have the same atmospheric model and SST & sea ice. Model: CESM Resolution: approximately 2 o for atmosphere & land and 1 o for ocean Simulations: CGCM, 1pctCO2 AGCM, 1pctCO2 (SST and sea ice from CGCM 1pctCO2) CGCM, pre-industrial AGCM, pre-industrial (SST and sea ice from CGCM pre-industrial) Run time: 150 years Climate change: 10-year epoch difference
7 Impact of Two- way Coupling IntroducAon Method Results Error due to lack of two-way coupling is independent of external forcing.

29 Physical Mechanisms of Precipita0on Changes in the Subtropics and Extratropics
30 What drives subtropical and extratropical precipita0on changes? Increasing CO 2 Atmosphere- land model Land- sea warming contrast SST warming Mean SST warming Pa#ern of SST change Fast responses VS Slow responses
31 What do we already know about subtropical and extratropical precipita0on changes? Wet- get- werer & dry- get- dryer Climatological P- E Change in P- E Intensifica0on of moisture transport (Held & Soden 2006)
32 So according to previous studies Subtropical precipita0on decline Extratropical precipita0on increase Increase in Moisture Global mean SST warming
33 Actually, subtropical precipitaaon declines are independent of the mean surface warming Experiments: Fully coupled: 1pctCO2 (yr121~140 yr1~21) CO 2 only: AMIP_CO2 (4xCO 2 ) Mean Warming only: AMIP_mean (+4K) Structured warming: AMIP_future Pattern only: AMIP_pattern = AMIP_future AMIP_mean
34 CO 2 radiaave forcing Land- sea warming contrast PaRern of SST change Mean SST warming Fast response Slow response Abrupt4xCO2
35 Subtropical precipitaaon decline is a fast response. Extratropical precipitaaon increase is a slow response.
36 Experiments: Fully coupled: 1pctCO2 (yr121~140 yr1~21) CO 2 only: AMIP_CO2 (4xCO 2 ) Mean Warming only: AMIP_mean (+4K) Structured warming: AMIP_future Pattern only: AMIP_pattern = AMIP_future AMIP_mean AMIP_CO2: Direct radiaave forcing of CO 2 Land- sea warming contrast aqua_co2: radiaave forcing only
37 δp in AMIP_CO2 StabilizaJon or Land- sea? Thermodynamic change Dynamic change EvaporaAon change Eddy transport
38 The stabilizing effect of CO 2 does not weaken convecaon in the subtropics.
