Monsoons as eddy-mediated regime transitions of the tropical overturning circulation

Monsoons are often viewed as planetary-scale sea-breeze circulations, caused by contrasts in the thermal properties between oceans and land surfaces. Numerical simulations suggest that instead feedbacks between large-scale extratropical eddies and the tropical atmospheric overturning circulation are essential for the development of monsoons.

Weakening of the North American monsoon with global warming

Past studies suggest the North American monsoon will weaken in the future. Correcting for model sea-surface temperature biases, however, reveals a reduction in monsoon-related precipitation due to increased atmospheric stability.

Challenges and opportunities for improved understanding of regional climate dynamics

The response of storms, blocks and jet streams to external forcing, basin-to-basin and tropical–extratropical interactions, and non-linear predictive theory, are highlighted as strategic areas to advance understanding of regional climate dynamics
