The vertical distribution of cloud feedback in coupled ocean‐atmosphere models (2011, background): “In response to increased CO2, the marine subtropical regions in these models generally exhibit increased mid‐tropospheric subsidence [e.g., Lu et al., 2007; Vecchi and Soden, 2007a] and an associated decrease in lower tropospheric relative humidity [e.g., Vecchi and Soden, 2007b].”
Local partitioning of the overturning circulation in the tropics and the connection to the Hadley and Walker circulations (2014, background): “…position and strength [e.g., Quan et al., 2004; Mitas and Clement, 2005; Zhao and Moore, 2008; Hu and Fu, 2007; Stachnik and Schumacher, 2011], including possible changes under enhanced greenhouse conditions [e.g., Lu et al., 2007; Seidel et al., 2008; Gastineau et al., 2009; Kang and Lu, 2012].”
Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, unknown): “…Cell terminates where the value of the Eulerian overturning circulation at 500 hPa goes to zero, and the second measure is to evaluate the latitude at which the value of the overturning circulation drops to 10% of its maximum value at 500 hPa (similar to Kang and Lu, 2012; Kang et al., 2013).”
