1 Past (LGM) and future wind changes over the Southern Ocean Yann Chavaillaz, Francis Codron, Masa Kageyama LMD / LOCEAN / LSCE - IPSL Paris, France Chavaillaz et al. (213), Climate of the Past

5 RelaMon between westerly jet variability and surface winds Anomalies linked with a poleward shic of the jet (SAM): Pressure LaMtude Zonal- mean zonal wind surface wind stress Ø Poleward jet shi] = stronger Southern Ocean westerly winds

6 Ø The data for LGM are inconclusive: Indirect proxies and evidence From Kohfeld et al (213), Quaternary Science Reviews: «Our comparison suggests that an overall strengthening, an equatorward displacement, or no change at all in winds could all be interpreted as consistent with observamons We contend that resolving the posimon and strength of westerly winds during the LGM remains elusive based on data reconstrucmons alone.»
