Climate change, tropical fisheries and prospects for sustainable development
Tropical fisheries substantially contribute to the well-being of societies in both the tropics
and the extratropics, the latter through 'telecoupling'—linkages between distant human …

Changing state of the climate system
2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus
Despite ongoing increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases, the Earth's global average
surface air temperature has remained more or less steady since 2001. A variety of …

Initialized Earth System prediction from subseasonal to decadal timescales
Abstract Initialized Earth System predictions are made by starting a numerical prediction
model in a state as consistent as possible to observations and running it forward in time for …

Reconciling controversies about the 'global warming hiatus'
Between about 1998 and 2012, a time that coincided with political negotiations for
preventing climate change, the surface of Earth seemed hardly to warm. This phenomenon …

Recent Walker circulation strengthening and Pacific cooling amplified by Atlantic warming
An unprecedented strengthening of Pacific trade winds since the late 1990s (ref.) has
caused widespread climate perturbations, including rapid sea-level rise in the western …
