Sinuosity of midlatitude atmospheric flow in a warming world

Abstract Global warming is expected to affect midlatitude atmospheric dynamics through changes in the equator‐to‐pole temperature gradient. While the latitudinal expansion of the tropics would induce both a poleward shift and reinforcement of the westerlies, Arctic changes might counterbalance this...
