Identifying the regional emergence of climate patterns in the ARISE-SAI-1.5 simulations
Stratospheric aerosol injection is a proposed form of solar climate invention (SCI) that could potentially reduce the amount of future warming from externally-forced climate change. However, more research is needed, as there are significant uncertainties

Long-term latitudinal effects of precipitation change in global monsoon regions
Global paleomonsoon precipitation evolution is confined to asynchronous responses to global monsoons to shared forcings, including summer insolation, sea surface temperature, atmospheric circulation coupling, and ocean circulation.

Benefits of greenhouse gas mitigation on the supply, management, and use of water resources in the United States [PDF]
Climate change impacts on water resources in the United States are likely to be far-reaching and substantial because the water is integral to climate, and the water sector spans many parts of the economy.

Sub-shelf melt pattern and ice sheet mass loss governed by meltwater flow below ice shelves [PDF]
Ocean-induced sub-shelf melt is one of the main drivers of Antarctic mass loss. Capturing it in ice sheet models is typically done by using parameterisations that compute sub-shelf melt rates based on local thermal forcing.

In this study, we show that changes in the 250 hPa vorticity cut-off low (COL) activity may possibly be driven by sea surface temperature (SST) variations in the tropical Pacific.

Integrating functional diversity, food web processes, and biogeochemical carbon fluxes into a conceptual approach for modeling the upper ocean in a high-CO2 world [PDF]
Marine food webs influence climate by channeling carbon below the permanent pycnocline, where it can be sequestered. Because most of the organic matter exported from the euphotic zone is remineralized within the "upper ocean" (i.e., the water column ...

Underestimating Internal Variability Leads to Narrow Estimates of Climate System Properties [PDF]
Probabilistic estimates of climate system properties often rely on the comparison of model simulations to observed temperature records and an estimate of the internal climate variability.

Vegetation Effects on Air Pollution: A Comprehensive Assessment for Two Italian Cities
The role of urban vegetation in urban air quality is usually assessed by considering only the pollutant removal capacity of the plants. This study aims to show, for the first time, the effects of vegetation on air pollutant concentrations through its ...
