Emergent climate change patterns originating from deep ocean warming in climate mitigation scenarios

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 01 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01928-0

How the climate system reacts to stabilized or decreasing CO2 concentrations is not yet well understood. Here, the authors show that deep ocean warming and its slower heat release lead to unique patterns of ocean surface warming and precipitation.
