The Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP) contribution to CMIP6: investigating the causes and consequences of polar amplification (2018, neutral): “…potentially important in controlling temperature trends in polar regions, including water vapour (Graversen and Wang 2009), cloud (Vavrus 2004), and changes in heat transport in the atmosphere (Manabe and Wetherald 1980) and ocean (Khodri et al 2001; Holland and Bitz 2003; Spielhagen et al. 2011).”
CMIP5 historical simulations (1850–2012) with GISS ModelE2 (2014, background): “This ‘‘Arctic amplification’’ is robust among models [Holland and Bitz, 2003], and partly the result of the surface-albedo feedback, although other feedbacks involving clouds along with atmosphere and ocean heat transport contribute [Kay et al., 2012].”
Arctic winter warming amplified by the thermal inversion and consequent low infrared cooling to space (2011, positive): “dtd" [ ]> Pronounced warming in the Arctic region, coined Arctic amplification, is an important feature of observed and modelled climate chang”
Beyond methane: Towards a theory for the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (2006, background): “Finally, the polar amplification of the warming observed during the PETM raises the concern that GCMs used to predict climate over the next century may be underestimating polar temperature rise, as most of the polar amplification predicted for the next century is associated with ice feedbacks [142].”
Past and future polar amplification of climate change: climate model intercomparisons and ice-core constraints (2006, background): “This intercomparison therefore confirms previous studies conducted as a function of latitude but only for the northern hemisphere (Holland and Bitz 2003).”
Time-Varying Climate Sensitivity from Regional Feedbacks (2012, background): “3c), a pattern of polar-amplified warming emerges in both hemispheres as global climate slowly attains equilibriumwith the imposed forcing (Manabe et al. 1991; Holland and Bitz 2003; Stouffer 2004).”
How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes (2006, background): “5) POLAR CLOUDS The role of polar cloud feedbacks in climate sensitivity has been emphasized during the last few years (Holland and Bitz 2003; Vavrus 2004), polar regions being the most sensitive regions of the earth and clouds exerting a large influence on the surface radiation budget of these…”
Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic linked to Rossby wave breaking (2014, background): “Climate models project continued Arctic amplification in the future as a response to greenhouse gas increases [e.g., Holland and Bitz, 2003; Hansen et al., 2005].”
A Mechanism for the High Rate of Sea Ice Thinning in the Arctic Ocean (2004, methodology): “A more complete presentation of the simulations of Arctic climate change in the CMIP models is given by Holland and Bitz (2003) and Flato (2004).”
Coupling between Arctic feedbacks and changes in poleward energy transport (2011, background): “Also, increasing oceanic transport is correlated with Arctic warming and the amount of sea ice loss [Holland and Bitz, 2003; Bitz et al., 2006; Holland et al., 2006; Mahlstein and Knutti, 2011].”
Simulated Antarctic precipitation and surface mass balance at the end of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (2006, background): “It has been shown to be due to a general increase of poleward heat transport with increasing global mean temperature (Alexeev et al. 2005), with further amplification through local feedbacks (Holland and Bitz 2003).”
Ice structures, patterns, and processes: A view across the icefields (2012, background): “The strong ultraviolet light that irradiated the young Earth (Zahnle and Walker, 1982) will have influenced the upper layer of sea ice to a depth of about 10 cm.”
EC-Earth V2.2: description and validation of a new seamless earth system prediction model (2012, background): “This is within the range of CMIP3 models of 1.5–4.5 (Holland and Bitz 2003).”
Evaluation of CMIP6 DECK Experiments With CNRM‐CM6‐1 (2019, background): “The snow is an active component of the climate system, especially over northern high‐latitude regions where a drastic decrease in springtime snow cover over recent decades (Derksen & Brown, 2012) contributes to the polar warming amplification (Holland & Bitz, 2003).”
