Amplification of synoptic to annual variability of West African summer monsoon rainfall under global warming
Akinsanola, Akintomide Afolayan; Zhou, Wen; Zhou, Tianjun; Keenlyside, Noel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Increased knowledge of future changes in rainfall variability is needed to reduce vulnerability to potential impacts of global warming, especially in highly vulnerable regions like West Africa. While changes in mean and ... -
Assessing the influence of sea surface temperature and arctic sea ice cover on the uncertainty in the boreal winter future climate projections
Cheung, Ho-Nam; Keenlyside, Noel Sebastian; Koenigk, Torben; Yang, Shuting; Tian, Tian; Xu, Zhiqing; Gao, Yongqi; Ogawa, Fumiaki; Omrani, Nour-Eddine; Qiao, Shaobo; Zhou, Wen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We investigate the uncertainty (i.e., inter-model spread) in future projections of the boreal winter climate, based on the forced response of ten models from the CMIP5 following the RCP8.5 scenario. The uncertainty in the ... -
Remarkable link between projected uncertainties of Arctic sea-ice decline and winter Eurasian climate
Cheung, Ho Nam; Keenlyside, Noel; Omrani, Nour-Eddine; Zhou, Wen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We identify that the projected uncertainty of the pan-Arctic sea-ice concentration (SIC) is strongly coupled with the Eurasian circulation in the boreal winter (December–March; DJFM), based on a singular value decomposition ...
