Since 1970, the observed time series of various extratropical circulation modes have revealed remarkable trends. In many studies it has been suggested that these trends may be related to global warming due to increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations. Coupled climate model scenario experiments may give a hint of such a relationship. Here, a large model intercomparison study is presented, incorporating most state‐of‐the‐art models of the international modeller community with GHG and GHG plus sulphate aerosol (SUL) forcing, in order to quantify the signals common to different climate models and to determine the degree of uncertainty. The extratropical circulation candidates are the Arctic oscillation (AO), the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), the Aleutian low (AL) and the Antarctic oscillation (AAO).
