• Climate Feedbacks and Their Implications for Poleward Energy Flux Changes in a Warming Climate (2011, background): “…increases in models following the theoretically expected rise of the level of peak radiatively driven divergence in the tropics (Hartmann and Larson 2002; Zelinka and Hartmann 2010) and of the tropopause level in the extratropics (Kushner et al. 2001; Santer et al. 2003; Lorenz and DeWeaver 2007).”
• Trends in the Southern Annular Mode from Observations and Reanalyses (2003, methodology): “…Warming’ scenarios using coupled General Circulation Models (GCMs) also predict a change towards the positive phase of the SAM (Fyfe et al. 1999, Kushner et al. 2001) Subsequently, we can ascertain the impact that errors in the NNR have caused in previously calculated trends in the SAM; have…”
• Impact of stratospheric ozone on Southern Hemisphere circulation change: A multimodel assessment (2010, background): “It is known that both GHGs increase [e.g., Fyfe et al. , 2007; Kushner et al. , 2001] and O 3 loss [e.g., Gillett and Thompson , 2003; Shindell and Schmidt , 2004] drive the SH climate in the same direction, toward a positive trend of the SAM index.”
• Width of the Hadley cell in simple and comprehensive general circulation models (2007, background): “A similar poleward shift with global warming has been identified in the storm tracks in midlatitudes [Kushner et al., 2001; Yin, 2005; Bengtsson et al., 2006].”
• The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies in a Warming World: Propping Open the Door to the Deep Ocean (2006, methodology): “The shift of the westerlies toward the pole in the SH is seen in many models (Fyfe et al. 1999; Kushner et al. 2001; Cai et al. 2003, 2005).”
• Southern Hemisphere jet latitude biases in CMIP5 models linked to shortwave cloud forcing (2012, background): “2 of 5 Kushner et al., 2001; Polvani and Kushner, 2002; Brayshaw et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2010; Allen et al., 2012].”
• Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Ice Response to Variations in the Southern Annular Mode (2006, background): “…enhanced low pressure system in the Amundsen– Bellinghousen Sea region [which results from the nonaxisymmetric distribution of the Antarctic landmass over the South Pole (Lachlan-Cope et al. 2001)] combined with the more localized barrier effect, due to the Antarctic Peninsula (Orr et al. 2004).”
• Synchronous Variability in the Southern Hemisphere Atmosphere, Sea Ice, and Ocean Resulting from the Annular Mode* (2002, background): “For example, Fyfe et al. (1999) and Kushner et al. (2001) provide modeling evidence that the response of the SH atmosphere to anthropogenic forcing projects strongly onto the SAM.”
• Assessing climate change impacts, sea level rise and storm surge risk in port cities: a case study on Copenhagen (2008, background): “Bengtsson et al. 2006; Salathe 2006; Fischer-Bruns et al. 2005 ;Y in2005 ;F yfe2003; Geng and Sugi 2003; Kushner et al. 2001 ).”
• Climate change cascades: Shifts in oceanography, species' ranges and subtidal marine community dynamics in eastern Tasmania (2011, background): “Positive changes in the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and associated increases in wind stress in the Southern Ocean may result from greenhouse warming (e.g. Kushner et al., 2001) and/or ozone depletion (e.g. Shindell and Schmidt, 2004).”
• Midlatitude westerlies, atmospheric CO2, and climate change during the ice ages (2006, background): “Model simulations from the mid 1990s hinted that there might be a small intensification and a poleward shift of the westerlies in our greenhouse future [Kushner et al., 2001; Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2001].”
