Moist Heat Stress on a Hotter Earth (2020, background): “The atmosphere is observed to be in a state of convective quasi-neutrality (quasi-equilibrium) for much of the tropics (Emanuel 1995, Williams et al. 2009, Hoyos & Webster 2011) and into the midlatitudes during summer (Frierson 2006, Korty & Schneider 2007).”
Annular modes and Hadley cell expansion under global warming (2007, background): “More recently it has been argued that latent heating associated with moist convection in the warm sector of baroclinic eddies may also play a significant role in maintaining the static stability at midlatitudes [Emanuel, 1988; Juckes, 2000; Frierson, 2006], much as it does in the Tropics.”
A Dynamical Interpretation of the Poleward Shift of the Jet Streams in Global Warming Scenarios (2011, background): “an increase in the dry static stability (Yin 2005; Frierson 2006), and a poleward shift of the tropospheric jet streams and storm tracks.”
Width of the Hadley cell in simple and comprehensive general circulation models (2007, methodology): “…and midlatitudes is also expected with increases in both mean temperature and meridional temperature gradients, as shown by recent examinations of observations [Emanuel, 1988; Juckes, 2000], idealized models [Frierson et al., 2006], and the WRCP CMIP3 multi-model data set [Frierson, 2006].”
