A diagnosis of the seasonally and longitudinally varying midlatitude circulation response to global warming

IR Simpson, TA Shaw, R Seager - Journal of the Atmospheric …, 2014‏ - journals.ametsoc.org
Zonal-mean or basin-mean analyses often conclude that the midlatitude circulation will
undergo a poleward shift with global warming. In this study, the models from phase 5 of the …
