Abstract Dry‐wet whiplash events profoundly impact society and the environment, yet their attribution remain poorly understood. This study reveals that the unprecedented interannual wet‐to‐dry transition (return period: 979.2 years) in South China's 1962–1963 pre‐flood season is co‐driven by internal variability and volcanic forcing.

Abstract China's forests have experienced a notable increase in leaf area, driven by planted forest expansion and natural forest conservation. However, how planted and natural forests respond differently to environmental changes remains unclear. Using leaf area index (LAI) data, propensity score matching (PSM), and machine learning, we compared these ...

Abstract This study investigates the vertical development of shallow cumulus (ShCu) clouds in the Central Amazon (CAMZ) by combining large‐eddy simulations (LES) with observational data from the GoAmazon2014/5 campaign. Analyses of turbulent kinetic energy budgets, updraft mass flux, moisture flux, and surface fluxes across cloud sizes indicate that ...

Abstract Near‐0°C (−2°C to +2°C) air temperatures are critical for determining the phase of precipitation, the onset of freeze–thaw cycles, and associated impacts on the environment and infrastructure. Change is expected in a warming climate, yet large‐scale high‐resolution understanding of near‐0°C transitions remains limited, particularly under ...

Abstract Biomass burning aerosol (BBA) impacts climate through aerosol‐cloud‐radiation interactions, but models disagree on the sign and magnitude of BBA radiative effects. We quantify the sensitivity of BBA radiative effects and transport to three BBA‐relevant processes and properties: parameterized oxidative aging of organic aerosol (OA), a combined ...

Root Dynamics Mitigate Warm and Dry Biases Over the Central United States
Abstract The central United States frequently exhibits warm and dry biases in simulations of summertime conditions, a persistent feature that remains unresolved. While previous studies linked these biases to misrepresented surface energy exchanges, the role of belowground processes remains poorly understood.
