Effects of doubled CO2 on tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) for onset of deep convection and maximum SST: Simulations based inferences

A primary concern of CO2‐induced warming is the associated rise of tropical (10S‐10N) sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs). GISS Model‐E was used to produce two sets of simulations‐one with the present‐day and one with doubled CO2 in the atmosphere. The intrinsic usefulness of model guidance in the tropi...
