Dear all,

This is a reminder to please join us for the Werner A. Baum Lecture this Friday March 21 at 3 PM in EOA 1050, to be given by climate scientist Dr. Tiffany Shaw, professor at the University of Chicago. See the attached flyer for more information.

Prof. Shaw will present “Moving beyond the mean to understand circulation extremes under climate change” (abstract below).

While this is intended as an in-person event, if you have a medical excuse or approved work off campus, please contact Allison Wing (awing at fsu.edu<mailto:awing at fsu.edu>) for a Zoom link.

DATE: Friday March 21
TIME: 3-4 PM
LOCATION: EOA 1050
SPEAKER: Prof. Tiffany Shaw

TITLE: Moving beyond the mean to understand circulation extremes under climate change

ABSTRACT: Much has been learned about the response of the mean circulation, including storm tracks, and jet streams, etc., under climate change. However, much less is known about how circulation extremes will respond to climate change. This is in contrast to our understanding of thermodynamic extremes. In this talk we will show circulation extremes, representing upper-level jet streaks and extreme jet stream waviness, exhibit a fast-get-faster response under climate change. The fast-get-faster response is geostrophic, robust across a climate model hierarchy and not connected to Arctic Sea ice loss. Arctic Sea ice loss, which has been proposed as a driver of increased waviness, leads to a fast-get-slower response at all vertical levels. The fast-get-faster response is shown to be connected to the non-linear Clausius-Clapeyron relation via moist thermal wind and can be predicted analytically assuming a moist atmosphere. Finally, we show the fast-get-faster signal has emerged from the noise in reanalysis data in some regions indicating significant changes in the circulation distribution in the satellite era.

BIO: Prof. Tiffany Shaw’s research focuses on the physics of the atmosphere and climate system past, present and future. She seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms controlling the response to climate changes so that we can have greater confidence in climate predictions. Prof. Shaw is the recipient of an NSF CAREER award, Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering, a Sloan Research Fellowship and most recently a Bessel award from the Humboldt Foundation. She is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and American Physical Society.
