Sea ice loss of the Barents-Kara Sea enhances the winter warming over the Tibetan Plateau
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022 The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is known as one of the most sensitive regions to climate change, and it has experienced accelerated warming in recent decades. However, to what degree the TP warming amplification relates to remote forcing such as sea ice loss in

The amplifying influence of increased ocean stratification on a future year without a summer
Nature Communications, 2017 The 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora caused one of the strongest climate perturbations in the modern record; the 1816 year without a summer. Here, the authors show that climate change, through its impact on ocean stratification, strengthens the surface ...

Anthropogenic forcing changes coastal tropical cyclone frequency
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 It remains a mystery if and how anthropogenic climate change has altered the global tropical cyclone (TC) activities, mainly due to short reliable TC observations and climate internal variabilities.

Dynamics of the atmosphere [PDF]
Nature, 1982 Observations of and possible explanations for the dynamics of the Venus atmosphere as revelaed by Pioneer Venus and the Venera spacecraft are discussed. An important observation was that the entire atmosphere moves in the same retrograde (westward) direction at average speeds of up to about 110 m/sec, which may be explained by zonal jets arising from ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 We analyze the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and meteorology in winter in the Indo‐Gangetic Plain (IGP). We find that the concentration of PM2.5 exhibits similar increase with decreasing surface wind speed in 15 out of 18 cities ...

Dynamics of the Atmosphere [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2004 The study of atmospheric dynamics has seen an impressive expansion into many subdisciplines in the past few decades. It is only natural, then, that most textbooks published during this period have tended to focus on one of these sub‐disciplines. Atmospheric dynamics seems to be too broad a subject area to be the focus of a single text.

Atmospheric Dynamics of Luminous Stars [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1989 Abstract A review is given of data and theories on the motion fields in super and hypergiants with special reference to LBV’s. We show that the radiative momentum flux is incapable of driving the episodical bursts of mass loss of these stars, and that there are several indications that the LBV-phenomenon is hydrodynamically driven.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
