1 The role of land-sea contrast in the circulation response to seasonal insolation and global warming Tiffany A. Shaw Columbia University University of Chicago Thanks to A. Voigt, I Simpson, R. Seager
2 What are the dynamical implications of thermal contrasts? What is the role of Asian land-sea contrasts in the seasonal circulation evolution? Why is the summertime circulation response to increased CO 2 not robust?
3 Dynamical Implications of thermal contrasts 1) Sea surface temperature gradients drive low-level flow (Lindzen & Nigam 1987) u gh s = 1 k r(ts ) 2 sin 2 See also Emanuel et al. (1994), Pauluis (24), Prive and Plumb (27)
4 Dynamical Implications of thermal contrasts 1) Sea surface temperature gradients drive low-level flow (Lindzen & Nigam 1987) u gh s = 1 k r(ts ) 2 sin 2 2) Moist entropy (s b = c p ln θ e* ) gradients drive flow when moist entropy is supercritical (Emanuel 1995) u s = (T s T t ) 2 sin k r(s b s bcrit ) Positive north-south thermal gradients imply eastward flow See also Emanuel et al. (1994), Pauluis (24), Prive and Plumb (27)
5 Dynamical Implications of thermal contrasts Thermally driven flow + friction = convergence s = r u s s Convergence due to energy input and gross moist stability (Neelin & Held 1987): = F net / m z Nie et al. (21)
6 Convergence drives global circulation: Monsoon-Desert relationship < H > L z s > Desert L s < Monsoon H Ocean Sverdrup balance v = f See Gill (198), Sardeskmuhk & Hoskins (1988), Wang & Ting (1999), Rodwell & Hoskins (21)
7 Thermodynamic & Dynamic Links Thermal contrast T or s b Rossby wave rotational flow, QG moisture & momentum transport (ITCZ, jet stream) Low-level convergence, Upper level divergence Poleward extent of Asian & N. American monsoons set by dynamical factors (Chou & Neelin 23)

9 September - August 8 925hPa 1e Land Anticyclone Oceanic s b < u s < Opposite pattern aloft 1e6 Data source: ERA-Interim

America Atlantic Asia Pacific N. America Atlantic
11 Test hypothesis that Asian land-sea contrasts influence Pacific and Atlantic circulations Starting from a zonally-asymmetric aquaplanet control state: - Mimic increased solar insolation by warming Asia relative to control (A2-A1) - Mimic decreased solar insolation by cooling Asia (A4-A3) Asian SST amplitude A1 A2 A3 A4
12 Response to Asian warming 8 925hPa 1e6 6 Westward shift 4 2 s b > u s > Similar to July - May e6
13 Response to Asian warming 8 925hPa 1e6 6 Westward shift 4 2 s b > Increased Asian thermal s b > u s > s < > Increased Asian Similar to July - May convergence Amplified cycloneanticyclone, poleward jet shift 1e6
14 Response to Asian warming 8 925hPa 1e Warmer Westward shift Asian Monsoon evolution suppresses N. American Monsoon (see Rodwell & Hoskins s b > u s > Similar to July - May e6
15 Response to Asian cooling 8 925hPa 1e s b < u s < Similar to September - August e6
16 Opposite responses to seasonal solar insolation July - May - Δs b maximum over Asia September - August - Δs b minimum over Asia s b > s b < - Convergence toward land - Strengthened monsoon cyclone oceanic anticyclone circulation - Poleward jet shift - Divergence from land - Weakened monsoon cyclone oceanic anticyclone circulation - Equatorward jet shift
17 Response to CO 2 increase: Thermal contrasts around Asia If land warms (fast adjustment) - Δs b maximum over land s b > - Convergence toward land - Strengthened monsoon cyclone oceanic anticyclone circulation - Poleward jet shift
18 Response to CO 2 increase: Thermal contrasts around Asia If land warms (fast adjustment) - Δs b maximum over land s b > - Convergence toward land - Strengthened monsoon cyclone oceanic anticyclone circulation - Poleward jet shift If ocean warms - Δs b maximum over ocean s b < - Divergence from land - Weakened monsoon cyclone oceanic anticyclone circulation - Equatorward jet shift Modern analogs: July May versus September August Except CO 2 is well mixed è competition

America Atlantic Increased solar insolation (warm Asia) - Decreased solar insolation (cool Asia) - Land warming response to CO 2 increase (warm Asia) - Ocean warming response to CO 2 increase (warm outside black land boxes) - Global warming (warm everywhere)

28 Summary What are the dynamical implications of land-sea moist entropy contrasts? Land-sea moist entropy contrasts drive rotational flow and convergence in the presence of friction What is the role of Asian land-sea thermal contrasts in the seasonal circulation evolution? Asian land-sea moist entropy contrasts control the seasonal cycle of circulation globally (see Rodwell & Hoskins 21) Why is the Asia-Pacific summertime circulation response to climate change not robust? Tug of war on circulation between radiative forcing and sea surface warming due to opposite land-sea moist entropy contrast, analogous to seasonal evolution
