Abstract: Climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere is dominanted by the Southern Annular Mode, which influences temperatures and latitudinal rainfall distribution. This work reconstructs its annual variability since the year 1000. The authors find that a positive trend since the 1940s is reproduced by climate model simulations with representative greenhouse gas forcings and ozone depletion. Early trends indicate a teleconnection to tropical Pacific climate, which may need to be considered in projections under climate change.
