Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, background): “the storm tracks equatorward (Butler et al., 2010), but this is a predominantly NH effect and Figures 15 and 16 suggest that the effect may be small. In any case, it is hard to come up with an a priori estimate of changes in baroclinicity without doing a detailed calculation that may have much uncer”
Responses of midlatitude blocks and wave amplitude to changes in the meridional temperature gradient in an idealized dry GCM (2014, methodology): “…reasonable mean and low-frequency properties of the atmospheric circulation [Held and Suarez, 1994; Gerber et al., 2008] and has been used to study various aspects of large-scale dynamics [e.g., Polvani and Kushner, 2002; Walker and Schneider, 2006; Butler et al., 2010; Kidston and Vallis, 2010].”
Persistent Extratropical Regimes and Climate Extremes (2015, background): “This is seen in a hierarchy of models from dry dynamical cores [53, 54] through more realistic atmo-”
A Diagnosis of the Seasonally and Longitudinally Varying Midlatitude Circulation Response to Global Warming (2014, background): “A poleward shift is also somewhat unclear in NH near-surface storm-track measures using some metrics (Catto et al. 2011; Harvey et al. 2012).”
Future climate change in the Southern Hemisphere: Competing effects of ozone and greenhouse gases (2011, background): “All regions have been discussed previously [Kushner et al., 2001; Lorenz and DeWeaver, 2007; Lim and Simmonds, 2009; Son et al., 2008; Butler et al., 2010] as potentially contributing to shifts of the westerly jet in future projections.”
The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP6. (2016, background): “…structure of warming (Santer et al., 2013) and small changes in the radiative heating near the tropopause may project measurably on tropospheric climate (e.g. Butler et al., 2010), for instance by influencing the baroclinicity in the upper troposphere and thus the storm tracks (Bony et al., 2015).”
