Capturing BK's comment from Slack:

For those of you who are interested in land/ocean warming contrast, here's a bunch of other fun stuff: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2006GL028164 (a classic) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10584-013-0715-6 (why this quantity is important) https://journals.ametsoc.org/jcli/article/22/11/3079/32515/Understanding-Land-Sea-Warming-Contrast-in (getting into some more physical climatology details) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-013-1664-5 (non-stationarity) https://journals.ametsoc.org/jcli/article/26/12/4000/34149/Land-Ocean-Warming-Contrast-over-a-Wide-Range-of (theory behind land/ocean warming contrast) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-015-2552-y (very technical and very useful)

https://journals.ametsoc.org/jcli/article/26/12/4000/34149 This one does a nice job of not only explaining its own mechanisms, but also everyone else's studies. They have a one paragraph summary of Joshi et al. (2008) that makes a lot more sense to me than the actual paper. They also call the results of Joshi et al. (2008) a hypothesis, which makes me feel better about how hand-wavy it was.

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/grl.50971@10.1002/(ISSN)1944-8007.GRLCMIP5 This is a follow-on study to the one I just pasted, in which they take the framework and use it to analyze climate models.

https://www.pnas.org/content/115/19/4863.short A further follow-on that (if you squint) suggests a way to include this idea in simple models.

https://journals.ametsoc.org/jcli/article/22/11/3079/32515 Breaks up the evolution of land/ocean warming into different time scales. Probably not relevant for building a climate-scale emulator, but it might be nice for gaining some physical intuition as to what's going on.

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/9/12/124005/meta A slightly different approach to explanation that you might find helpful.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00382-015-2552-y Love this paper. They build a simple model of land/ocean energy transport. Useful for intuition and also useful for thinking about alternate approaches to emulation. Very math-heavy, so will take some effort (i.e., sitting down with it and working out the equations).
