Abstract Synoptic anticyclones are a common feature of subtropical and midlatitude climate associated with descending air clear conditions, while anticyclonic circulation anomalies can contribute to temperature extremes. When tracked in both the ERA5 reanalysis 10 global models from 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) using grid, CMIP5 consistently underestimate observed frequency...

In this study, a pattern detection method is applied on the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 simulation outputs of seven GCMs—disseminated by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5)—to determine whether atmospheric teleconnection patterns detected in ERA-20C reanalysis from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) will be observable future projections CMIP5 GCMs. The technique—...
