warming deficit in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is a striking
feature in global climate model future projections. Such changes in ocean temperature themselves
can have implications for fisheries and wildlife and furthermore this region of
reduced warming could have an impact on weather downstream over Europe. The goal of this work is to obtain a
holistic understanding of the coupled processes involved in both the
development of the warming hole and it’s impacts on the atmosphere. An
analysis of the Community Earth System Model Large Ensemble simulations is
conducted to obtain further insight into the development of the warming hole
and its relationship to the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. In particular the
important roles of increased freshwater flux and local changes in the ocean
circulation on the development of the warming hole will be discussed. A series of large ensemble CESM prescribed
sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice experiments are conducted where the warming
hole is either filled or deepened to understand how the warming hole might
influence the atmosphere. The results show both a direct linear response and an
indirect eddy driven response that acts to strength and shift the North
Atlantic jet poleward. These local
changes in the North Atlantic eddy driven jet are of a similar magnitude to the
full climate change response in the region, indicating that the North Atlantic
warming hole could be an important additional factor in the “tug of war” on the
midlatitude circulation that has yet to be explored. Finally, the impacts of the warming on
European weather are explored with the use of a machine learning method,
self-organizing maps. </p><br class=""><div class="">
