Title: Understanding storm tracks shifts: From the seasonal cycle to future climate change
Abstract: Storm tracks dominate weather and climate in the extratropics. In response to forcing, e.g. seasonal insolation, ENSO, ozone depletion, increased CO2, storm tracks exhibit robust meridional shifts. Here we develop an energetic framework for storm track position. We apply it across a range of timescales to reveal robust regimes that help to explain why storm tracks shift meridionally.
