    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Global tropospheric temperatures rose sharply since the 1970s. Atmospheric models show this warming trend is driven by increasing ocean temperatures, enhancing the tropical hydrologic cycle.

    Area of Science:

    • Climate Science
    • Atmospheric Physics
    • Oceanography

    Background:

    • Global average tropospheric temperatures have risen over the past century.
    • A significant acceleration in warming has been observed since the mid-1970s.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the drivers of recent global tropospheric warming.
    • To assess the role of ocean surface temperatures in observed climate trends.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized atmospheric models forced with observed ocean surface temperatures.
    • Analyzed the period from 1970 to 1992.

    Main Results:

    • Atmospheric models closely reproduced the observed temperature record (1970-1992) when forced with ocean temperatures.
    • The simulated warming trend was attributed to an enhanced tropical hydrologic cycle driven by rising tropical ocean temperatures.

    Conclusions:

    • Observed tropospheric warming is strongly linked to increasing ocean temperatures and subsequent changes in the hydrologic cycle.
    • Model results show a "disquieting similarity" to observed trends and early signs of climate response to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide.
