Title

The Climate Effects of Sea Surface Temperature Patterns in ACCESS and CAM6

About

Spatial patterns in sea surface temperature (SST) trends influence global climate in what is known as the pattern effect. Recent work has highlighted the the pattern effect’s impact on climate and hydrological sensitivity. However, fully coupled models may exhibit biases towards El Niño like trends in SSTs compared to observations, contributing to uncertainty in multi-decadal projections. This project investigates the following question:

How do spatial patterns in sea surface temperature trends impact trends in precipitation?

Hi Spencer,

It was nice meeting you today. This is the paper I mentioned during our conversation: Continuation of tropical Pacific Ocean temperature trend may weaken extreme El Niño and its linkage to the Southern Annular Mode | Scientific Reports

I’m looking forward to seeing more of your research results in the future!
