Climate Forecasting Unit Part I : The global warming slowdown

Climate Forecasting Unit Initializing allows to the SST evolution along the predictions Successful Ec-Earth2.3 climate prediction of the global temperature plateau Global mean Sea Surface Temperature (60°S-60°N) Init NoInit Ensemble- mean smoothed with 1-year running mean ERSST Guemas et al, Nature Climate Change, 2013

Climate Forecasting Unit ORAS4 Ocean heat uptake (0-800m excluding the mixed layer) at the onset of the plateau The plateau seems due to increased ocean heat absorption Analysis of these predictions to attribute the global temperature plateau Guemas et al, Nature Climate Change, 2013

Climate Forecasting Unit Increased ocean heat uptake in the Pacific captured by Init Analysis of these predictions to attribute the global temperature plateau ORAS4Init

Climate Forecasting Unit Weak signals after ensemble-mean operator on NoInit Analysis of these predictions to attribute the global temperature plateau ORAS4NoInit

Climate Forecasting Unit Part II : The 2012 Arctic sea ice minimum

Climate Forecasting Unit The 2012 Arctic sea ice minimum into context Extent (Million km 2 ) ±2 standard deviation mean Spain + Portugal + France + Italy + Switzerland + Germany + Netherlands + Belgium + Poland + Austria + Czech Republic + England + Scotland 3.41 million km 2 7 million km 2 NSIDC

Climate Forecasting Unit 2012 Sea Ice Outlook : July report Forecast systems Why 2012 record-low missed by all the forecast systems ? Observed Median average

Climate Forecasting Unit An extreme summer storm NASA 1 of the 8 most extreme summer storm over the period 2012 record-low due to climate change or natural variability ?

Climate Forecasting Unit Guemas et al, BAMS, 2013 Attributing the September 2012 Arctic ice minimum Millions km 2 Our sea ice model overestimates the 2012 excess sea ice loss relative to the average CTRL = NEMO3.2 ocean model + LIM2 sea ice model initialized on 1 June 2012 from a 5-member sea ice reconstruction and forced with ERAinterim. Sea ice Loss relative to the average of the September minima over the period

Climate Forecasting Unit Attributing the September 2012 Arctic ice minimum Millions km 2 New record low seems primarily due to sea ice memory and warm conditions Guemas et al, BAMS, 2013

Climate Forecasting Unit Conclusions 1.The global warming slowdown seems to be associated with an increased ocean heat uptake below the mixed layer, mainly in the tropical Pacific 2.The 2012 Arctic sea ice minimum seems to have been mainly caused by the memory of the sea ice history and the warm 2012 atmospheric conditions
