"Dynamic manifestations of climate change, i.e. those related to circulation, are less well understood than are thermodynamic, or temperature-related aspects. However, this knowledge gap is narrowing. We review recent progress in understanding the causes of observed changes in polar tropospheric and stratospheric circulation, and in interpreting climate model projections of their future changes."

Study links precursor signals to "nearing of a critical transition of the coupled Amazon atmosphere-vegetation system induced by forest loss due to deforestation, droughts, and fires"
"Previous modeling studies [2] showed that extensive #deforestation of the #Amazon #rainforest leads to changes in the energy balance of the whole Amazon basin and in the #AtmosphericCirculation over tropical #SouthAmerica, which, in turn, leads to weakened moisture flux and precipitation in these regions" [1]
