Abstract
This chapter gives a summary of the full text and some future research prospects. In the summary section, the formation mechanisms of the MME TPSW pattern, the cloud radiation feedback and the large-scale ocean dynamics as two leading sources of inter-model uncertainty in the TPSW pattern, and the corrections for the MME TPSW pattern based on the “observational constraint” are highlighted. In the prospect section, several issues left in this monograph, as well as some studies to be carried out on the basis of this book, are briefly mentioned.
