Natural variability small in summer (July) large in winter (Feb.) • Detectability of cooling trend with a finite-length data • 96 ensembles of 50-year integration • with external linear trend • - 0.25K/year around 1hPa • Example of cooling trend run • 96 ensembles of 50-year integration • with external linear trend -0.25K/year around 1hPa
Seasonally dependent detectability • How many years do we need to get a statistically significant trend ? • How small trend can we detect in finite length data with a statistical significance ? necessary data length [years] to detect a linear trend of - 0.5K/decade with 90% conf. necessary magnitude of the trend [K/decade] to detect with a 20-year dataset 0.1 pressure [hPa] 0.5 25 10 100 Jan Dec month T(North Pole)
(1979~1997) 1. Introduction • Intraseasonal and interannual variations of polar temperature: largely internal variation in the nonlinear system, such as SSW, vortex intensification, … vs. external forcings such as volcanic eruption, solar cycle, anthropogenic effects, etc. • Seasonal cycle: periodic response to the external solar forcing (revolution of the earth) with large difference between the two poles in dynamically active season (Yoden et al. , 2001)
Polar-night Jet Oscillation (PJO): an important component of intraseasonal variations Kuroda and Kodera (2001) • low-frequency internal variations in polar winter • correspondence to the occurrence of SSW and VI • slow descent of temperature anomaly at the North Pole to the upper troposphere
Motivation: What’s about such intraseasonal, seasonal, and interannual variations in the Arctic temperature in paleoclimates, present or future climate ? • Purpose of this study: Analyses (fundamental statistics, EOF, cluster) of CMIP5 model outputs to make model intercomparison Paleoclimates: • Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) 21,000 BP(before present) • Mid-Holocene (MN) 6,000 BP Present: • Pre Industrial Control (PI) 1,850 AD Future: • Abrupt 4xCO2 (4xCO2)

6. Summary • Intraseasonal, seasonal, and interannual variations in the Arctic temperature are described for four experiments of paleoclimates, present and future climate in CMIP5 model outputs. • Fundamental statistical analysis shows large sensitivity of climatology and variations in dynamically active season, particularly in low top models. • EOF analysis extracts PJO-like variations as extremely warm events and cold events. • Extreme events are more frequent in high-top models than in low-top models. • Cluster analysis can determine intraseasonal evolution of PJO-like oscillation (warm and cold), but we need further experience for better use of it.
