• A Diagnosis of the Seasonally and Longitudinally Varying Midlatitude Circulation Response to Global Warming (2014, background): “This has been discussed in many studies prior to this one (Yin 2005; Fyfe and Saenko 2006; Kidston and Gerber 2010; Swart and Fyfe 2012; Wilcox et al. 2012; Barnes and Polvani 2013; Bracegirdle et al. 2013) and here the important role of high-frequency (less than 10 days) meridional eddy momentum fl”
• Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, background): “A poleward shift of the storm track was noted by Hall et al. (1994) in simulations with doubled CO2, by Yin (2005) in a number of integrations of future climates in the CMIP3 archive, and recently Barnes and Polvani (2013) noted a poleward shift of the midlatitude jets in some of the CMIP5…”
• Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic linked to Rossby wave breaking (2014, background): “We argue that if the jet streams shift poleward in the future as projected by climate models [e.g., Yin, 2005; Miller et al., 2006; Swart and Fyfe, 2012], Rossby wave dynamics will play an essential role in the regional long-term changes of moisture transport into the Arctic.”
• Scaling of Precipitation Extremes over a Wide Range of Climates Simulated with an Idealized GCM (2009, background): “accompany climate change, such as a meridional shift of the storm tracks (Yin 2005) or a decrease in tropical”
• The Southern Annular Mode: Variability, trends, and climate impacts across the Southern Hemisphere (2020, background): “The widespread association of SAM with latitudinal pressure anomalies also implies that it influences cyclonic activity around Antarctica, with more cyclones in the circumpolar trough during positive SAM (Grieger et al., 2018) together with a poleward shift in the mean storm track (Yin, 2005).”
• Connections Between Clouds, Radiation, and Midlatitude Dynamics: a Review (2015, background): “Finally, understanding cloud-radiative responses to atmospheric circulation changes is important in the context of global warming, since most state-of-the-art climate models predict poleward shifts of the midlatitude jets, or equivalently positive trends in the annular mode indices in both hemispher”
• How Well Do We Understand and Evaluate Climate Change Feedback Processes (2006, background): “In particular, climate change is likely to be associated with a latitudinal shift of the storm tracks (e.g., Hall et al. 1994; Yin 2005); owing to the strong dependence of the SW CRF on insolation, this dynamical shift may also change the cloud radiative forcing by a few watts per meter squared.”
• Regionalization of Climate Change Simulations over the Eastern Mediterranean (2009, background): “Yin (2006) has discussed the poleward increase in the intensity and”
• Evolution of the global wind wave climate in CMIP5 experiments (2012, background): “We refer these changes in trends and rates to the long-term variations of atmospheric circulation regimes, such as polewards shift of jets and intensified polar winds [Yin, 2005; Lorenz and DeWeaver, 2007; Woollings et al., 2012].”
• Simulation of Present-Day and Twenty-First-Century Energy Budgets of the Southern Oceans (2010, background): “The maximum increase in eddy activity is between 508 and 608S in association with increased poleward temperature gradients and baroclinicity, and increased precipitation occurs between about 508 and 708S (Yin 2005).”
• The Steady-State Atmospheric Circulation Response to Climate Change–like Thermal Forcings in a Simple General Circulation Model (2010, background): “Similar changes in the storm tracks have been found in fully coupled climate models forced by increasing CO2 (Fyfe et al. 1999; Kushner et al. 2001; Yin 2005; Miller et al. 2006; Arblaster and Meehl 2006; Lu et al. 2008).”
• A Statistical Analysis of Wind Speed and Power Density Based on Weibull and Rayleigh Models of Jumla, Nepal (2016, background): “On other hand, several researches have shown using both climate model simulations [34] and surface observations [35] [36] that the positions of the main storm tracks that cross North America, which are generally associated with the jet stream, have moved northwards.”
• Computing and Partitioning Cloud Feedbacks Using Cloud Property Histograms. Part II: Attribution to Changes in Cloud Amount, Altitude, and Optical Depth (2012, background): “…amount feedback at high latitudes is a surprising result, considering that the large locally negative cloud feedback is often attributed (e.g., Weaver 2003; Vavrus et al. 2009; Wu et al. 2011) to cloud fraction increases associated with the poleward-shifted storm track (Hall et al. 1994, Yin 2005).”
