EGU General Assembly 2010, Vienna, Austria. 3 Motivation [Cagnazzo and Manzini 2009] [Garfinkel and Hartmann 2008] [Bell et al. 2009] ENSO + NAM — also: [Ineson and Scaife 2009] TIO + NAO + [Annamalai et al. 2007] [Hoerling et al. 2004] [Bader and Latif 2005] also: [Sanchez-Gomez et al. 2009]

EGU General Assembly 2010, Vienna, Austria. 4 Main findings We compare the extratropical NAM response to tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean SST warming. Both forcings produce Rossby wave trains but the NAM responses are opposite-signed. The NAM response is determined by linear interference between the wave response and the climatological stationary wave Perturbing the climatological stationary wave results in very different NAM responses.

EGU General Assembly 2010, Vienna, Austria. 18 Concluding Remarks  Linear interference determines the sign and amplitude of the zonal mean (NAM) response to tropical SST forcing  The phase and amplitude of the climatological wave are critical for NAM teleconnections; example of flattening Eurasia/Rockies.  Indian Ocean is a “sweet-spot” for forcing NAM responses: implications for future SST trends?  See Karen Smith’s poster XY103 today, which explores midlatitude forcings.

EGU General Assembly 2010, Vienna, Austria. 28 The Problem The model is forced by two tropical warmings: one strong (TPO), the other weaker (TIO). Both forcings produce poleward propagating wave trains that scale roughly with forcing amplitude. But the NAM responses are of opposite sign and similar in strength. Why?
