Since its discovery in the early 1970s, the crucial role of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation
(MJO) in the global hydrological cycle and its tremendous influence on high‐impact climate …

The measurement and simulation of water vapor isotopic composition has matured rapidly
over the last decade, with long‐term data sets and comprehensive modeling capabilities …

This paper introduces the Flexible Global Ocean‐Atmosphere‐Land System Model: Grid‐
Point Version 3 (FGOALS‐g3) and evaluates its basic performance based on some of its …

Climate models have continued to be developed and improved since the AR4, and many
models have been extended into Earth System models by including the representation of …

The new Max‐Planck‐Institute Earth System Model (MPI‐ESM) is used in the Coupled
Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) in a series of climate change experiments …

This article reviews recent literature on drought of the last millennium, followed by an update
on global aridity changes from 1950 to 2008. Projected future aridity is presented based on …

In Part 2 of this two‐part paper, documentation is provided of key aspects of a version of the
AM4. 0/LM4. 0 atmosphere/land model that will serve as a base for a new set of climate and …

The core version of the Norwegian Climate Center's Earth System Model, named NorESM1-
M, is presented. The NorESM family of models are based on the Community Climate System …

There is a direct influence of global warming on precipitation. Increased heating leads to
greater evaporation and thus surface drying, thereby increasing the intensity and duration of …

A linear wave theory for the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), previously developed by
Sobel and Maloney, is extended upon in this study. In this treatment, column moisture is the …
