Our paper “Changes in North Atlantic atmospheric circulation in a warmer climate favor winter flooding and summer drought over Europe” is now released online in Journal of Climate: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/… (written with F. Selten, @rahmstorf and @DimCoumou, fyi @PIK_Climate).
This is a thread explaining the main findings. We used a very high resolution climate model (GFDL CM2.6: gfdl.noaa.gov/cm2-6/) to assess changes in atmospheric circulation patterns under an experiment of increasing carbon dioxide concentrations. (1)
The high resolution of the model allows for mesoscale oceanic eddies to be resolved and it has a realistic representation of the AMOC. This is important for the ocean-atmosphere interactions that play a significant role in forming the dominant atmospheric circulation patterns (2)
