Outline of Final Research Achievements

Global-mean surface temperature increase since the late 19th century is accompanied by remarkable year-to-year and decadal fluctuations, forming a global-warming “staircase”. Through pacemaker experiments with global climate models in which tropical Pacific surface temperature variability is forced to follow observed evolution, together with other model simulations, this study performs attribution of decadal accelerations and slowdowns of surface global warming and examines associated variations of regional climate and global energy budget. It is found that ocean-atmosphere coupled variability inherent to the tropical Pacific has affected timing of the staircase-like surface global warming. The study further proposes a revised view on global energy budget and mechanisms for remote climate impacts associated with the tropical Pacific variability. Modes of climate variability important for occurrence of extreme heat and cold events in the Northern Hemisphere lands are also identified.
