Abstract: Predictions of future climate change raise a variety of
issues in large-scale atmospheric and oceanic dynamics. Several of these
are reviewed in this essay, including the sensitivity of the circulation
of the Atlantic Ocean to increasing freshwater input at high latitudes;
the possibility of greenhouse cooling in the southern oceans; the sensitivity
of monsoonal circulations to differential warming of the two hemispheres;
the response of midlatitude storms to changing temperature gradients and
increasing water vapor in the atmosphere; and the possible importance of
positive feedback between the mean winds and eddy-induced heating in the
polar stratosphere.
