• Closure of the meridional overturning circulation through Southern Ocean upwelling (2012, background): “In recent decades the Southern Annular Mode has shown a marked upward trend, the probable result of a combination of ozone depletion and anthropogenic global warmin”
• The Steady-State Atmospheric Circulation Response to Climate Change–like Thermal Forcings in a Simple General Circulation Model (2010, background): “Observations reveal robust positive trends in the southern annular mode (SAM) during austral spring/summer that are consistent with forcing by the Antarctic ozone hole (Thompson and Solomon 2002).”
• Future climate change in the Southern Hemisphere: Competing effects of ozone and greenhouse gases (2011, background): “[3] Stratospheric ozone depletion impacts the SH extratropical circulation in a similar way to GHGs, however the tropospheric response is mostly restricted to austral summer [Thompson and Solomon, 2002].”
• Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, background): “…have documented poleward trends in the observed or reanalysed position of the midlatitude jets, storminess, and/or the relevant annular mode over the past few decades (Thompson and Solomon, 2002; Chen and Held, 2007; Archer and Caldeira, 2008; Bender et al., 2011; Solman and Orlanski, 2014).”
• Phase speed spectra and the recent poleward shift of Southern Hemisphere surface westerlies (2007, background): “We suggest that both the observed shift in the Southern Hemisphere and the projected shift in both hemispheres in the future may be explained, at least in part, as a consequence of increased zonal winds near the tropopause or in the lower stratosphere.”
• A critical comparison of stratosphere–troposphere coupling indices (2009, background): “Stratospheric variability tends to induce annular tropospheric patterns (e.g., Baldwin and Dunkerton, 2001; Thompson and Solomon, 2002).”
• Midlatitude westerlies, atmospheric CO2, and climate change during the ice ages (2006, background): “Hurrell [1995], Thompson et al. [2000] and Thompson and Solomon [2002] have all noted temporal trends in the SAM and NAM toward the high-index state (i.e., more frequent high-index years) over the last 40 years as the climate in both hemispheres has warmed.”
