Pu Lin, Dan Schwarzkopf, and V. Ramaswamy NOAA/ GFDL, Princeton, NJ

2 Data Observations: Models: MSU: RSS, UAH, NOAA SSU: NOAA, UKMO CM3:
full chemistry; model top at 0.01 hPa; 25 layers above 100 hPa. All forcing (AllForc) and Natural forcing only (Natural) each has 3 members. CM2.1: prescribe ozone; model top at 3 hPa; All forcing (AllForc), Natural forcing only (Natural) and Greenhouse gases + stratospheric ozone (WmGhgO3) each has 3 members

3 Global mean (90°N-90°S) MSU TLS anomalies
Obs: RSS, UAH, NOAA TLS anomalies (K) CM3: AllForc (3 member mean) CM3: Natural (3 member mean) Year

4 Global mean (90°N-90°S) SSU anomalies
Obs: NOAA (solid) UKMO (dashed) SSU-3 CM3: AllForc (3 member mean) SSU-2 CM3: Natural (3 member mean) SSU-1 Year Every tick is 0.5 K

5 Linear trends in MSU TLS (K/decade) two years following major eruptions are excluded significant trends are marked by symbols Zonal mean Trend (K/decade) Obs: RSS, UAH, NOAA CM3: AllForc (3 member mean) CM3: Natural (3 member mean) Latitude

6 Linear trends in SSU (K/decade) two years following major eruptions are excluded significant trends are marked by symbols SSU-3 Obs: RSS, UAH, NOAA CM3: AllForc (3 member mean) SSU-2 CM3: Natural (3 member mean) SSU-1 Latitude

7 Comparing CM3 vs CM2.1: global mean anomalies (K)

8 Comparing CM3 vs CM2.1: zonal mean trends
Latitude

9 Summary The interannual variations of stratospheric temperature since 1979 in general are well simulated by GFDL models: General cooling trends Stronger cooling over SH high latitudes Warming immediately following major eruptions Cooling a few years after major eruptions Flat trends during 2000s. In the lower stratosphere, models overestimate cooling over SH high latitudes (related to SH polar vortex and ozone hole), and underestimate cooling in subtropics (related to tropical expansion). In the mid/upper stratosphere, two observations show large difference in trends. CM3 agrees better with NOAA than with UKMO.

10 Summary (cont’d) Most of the trends are due to decrease of ozone and increase of GHGs. Natural forcing induces little trends. Model with internally generated ozone (CM3) simulates similar temperature trends to model with prescribed ozone (CM2.1).
