• WATER VAPOR AND THE DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGES (2009, methodology): “The Eady growth rate is typically used as the measure of baroclinic instability [e.g., Lindzen and Farrell, 1980; Hoskins and Valdes, 1990; Geng and Sugi, 2003; Yin, 2005; Li and Battisti, 2008; Brayshaw et al., 2008].”
• On the importance of midlatitude oceanic frontal zones for the mean state and dominant variability in the tropospheric circulation (2008, background): “A typical example is shown in Figure 1 for the South Indian Ocean, where a prominent SST front, called the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone (APFZ) [Colling, 2001], forms at 45 S along the warmer flank of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), marked as a zone of tight SST gradient based mainly on…”
• Importance of Resolving Kuroshio Front and Eddy Influence in Simulating the North Pacific Storm Track (2017, background): “Brayshaw et al. (2008) showed that an intensified midlatitude SST gradient can give rise to a stronger and poleward shift of midlatitude storm tracks [by the measure of 2–6-day bandpass-filtered geopotential”
• The relationship between the ITCZ and the Southern Hemispheric eddy‐driven jet (2013, background): “Subtropical jet strengthening is thus consistent with larger vertical wind shears, and therefore increasing baroclinicity and Eady growth rates near the subtropics [see e.g., Lee and Kim, 2003; Brayshaw et al., 2008].”
• Southern Hemisphere jet latitude biases in CMIP5 models linked to shortwave cloud forcing (2012, background): “However, more localized forcings may also alter the distribution of eddy activity, inducing a shift of the jet toward (away from) the increased (decreased) meridional surface temperature gradient [Brayshaw et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2010].”
