• THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, methodology): “Lu et al. [2009], using idealized General Circulation Model (GCM) simulations, suggests the cause is due to greenhouse gas and stratospheric ozone changes, although the fundamental mechanisms remain to be identified.”
• The Hadley Circulation in Reanalyses: Climatology, Variability, and Change (2013, background): “Previous studies have attributed the expansion of the cells to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations (Lu et al. 2009), aerosol (Allen et al. 2012), ozone depletion (Lu et al. 2009; Kang et al. 2011; Polvani et al. 2011), SST warming, and their combined effects (Staten et al. 2011).”
