Multi-model SAM-Positive Phase-related variability Climate change projects into the positive phase of the SAM in annual mean conditions In present climate SAM is particularly strong during the austral spring In future climate SAM is also strong during the austral spring (and summer) We are going to explore into the SAM-PP-related variability and its change in a warmer climate Andrea F.

Conclusions We extracted a picture of the response of the SAM to increasing GHG in a multi-model ensemble produced in the framework of the 4 th IPCC project. In mean average, SLP climate change projects into the positive phase (PP) of the SAM. We centered the attention in the surface climate variability associated with the SAM PP and its change in a warmer climate. Particular attention is on the surroundings of the Antarctic Peninsula Andrea F. Carril, Claudio G. Menéndez and Antonio Navarra

Conclusions (cont.) Over the present climate slice, the multi-model ensemble mean reproduce the regional warming around the AP associated with the SAM. When increasing GHG, warming in the neighborhoods of the AP (and decreasing of sea-ice volume in the sea-ice edge region) intensifies. This result suggests that recent observed sea-ice trend around the AP could be associated to anthropogenic forcings. Surface changes in T and SI are consistent with anomalous atmospheric heat transport associated with circulation anomalies. Andrea F. Carril, Claudio G. Menéndez and Antonio Navarra

Word of warning … The confidence in sea-ice anomalies response is limited by the reduced number of models that provides the information and the large inter-model spread.The confidence in sea-ice anomalies response is limited by the reduced number of models that provides the information and the large inter-model spread. Even if the large scale response to the SAM variability is an important driver of the AP climate change, in CGCMs the local interactions between the atmosphere, sea and sea-ice are misrepresented.Even if the large scale response to the SAM variability is an important driver of the AP climate change, in CGCMs the local interactions between the atmosphere, sea and sea-ice are misrepresented. ! If the stratospheric ozone recovers the SAM variability could also be affected (Shindell and Schmidt 2004). Andrea F. Carril, Claudio G. Menéndez and Antonio Navarra

We emphasize that the results need to be view with caution, given the weaknesses in the models and the uncertainties related to the future evolution of the O 3. Andrea F. Carril, Claudio G. Menéndez and Antonio Navarra
