Warming oceans weaken sea and land winds in coastal cities - Nature Climate Change

Forcing SST Traditional low-resolution sea surface temperature datasets cannot resolve local warming disparities in coastal areas, whereas kilometer-scale resolution data depict land-sea temperature gradients 4). Comparing with observations, we find that SST from BCC-CSM2-MR shows strong consistency with both reanalysis datasets and satellite assimilation data in capturing monthly variations in SST among several CMIP6 GCMs … Read more
