(A–C) are coupled model experiments (ANTSIlate21 minus ANTSIhist). (A) 992-hPa air temperature (the lowest model level, °C), (B) near surface winds (m/s) and sea level pressure (hPa), and (C) vertical motion (Pa/s, positive is downward) in the atmosphere averaged over 140W-70W. (D) same as (A), except for atmosphere-only model experiments (ANTSIhist_CAM5 minus ANTSIlate21_CAM5). Gray dots represent statistically significant changes (>95% confidence level).
