The Maintenance of the Longitudinal Subtropical Jet Structure During Austral Winter
Abstract The austral winter subtropical jet maintenance is analyzed by comparing the observed upper tropospheric zonal momentum budget with an idealized aquaplanet model simulation with localized tropical heating in the summer hemisphere. The model and observations show great similarity, demonstrating the dominant role of localized tropical convection ...

Glacier‐Climate Feedbacks Modulate Last Glacial Maximum Dust Cycle Over the Third Pole
Abstract Geological records indicate only a modest Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) increase in dust deposition over the Third Pole (TP), in contrast to the order‐of‐magnitude rise at high latitudes. Existing climate simulations, which generally prescribe present‐day or no TP glaciers, have struggled to reproduce this muted response.

Does Polar Warming Asymmetry Exist in Bathy‐Planet Experiments?
Abstract Ocean bathymetry and continental geometry shape ocean circulation, but whether these geographic constraints can sustain polar warming asymmetry in a fully coupled climate system remains unclear. Here we construct a fully coupled “bathy‐planet” configuration (BATHY), in which continental topography is removed and most land surfaces are replaced

First Empirical Assessment of Ice Content From a Himalayan Rock Glacier
Abstract Climate warming and degradation of glaciers and permafrost in High Mountain Asia is threatening the sustainability of the region's natural “water towers” and allied ecosystems and infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 Himalayan rock glaciers exist and, being more resilient to climatic change than glaciers, they represent important freshwater ...

Abstract In the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica's largest ice‐free area, the stream channels consist of rock and sediment that are underlain by permafrost. Substantial permafrost degradation and channel erosion occurred in January 2012 on the west branch of Crescent Stream, while the east branch remained unaffected.

Interannual Variability of Compound Hot‐Dry Events Over the Tibetan Plateau
Abstract Associated with a warming tendency, a large variability of compound hot‐dry events (CHDEs) is evident in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the interannual variability of summer CHDEs over the TP, identify the key large‐scale climate drivers, and reveal the dominant ...

Abstract In cryogenic CO2 desublimation systems where phase change dominates both heat transfer and separation, conventional lumped thermal‐resistance treatments embed interfacial latent heat into an overall heat‐transfer coefficient, obscuring how phase‐change heat is partitioned between the gas phase and the coolant and limiting diagnostic insight ...

Cryosphere Engineering Science Supporting Interactivity Infrastructures Construction
The cryosphere is closely related to climate change, human engineering activities and social and economic development. Each element of cryosphere has significantly different influence characteristics on engineering. Disasters by glaciers, snow cover, and

Using MaxEnt and ArcGIS, we modeled the distribution of the endangered medicinal fern Cibotium barometz under current and future climate scenarios (SSP1‐2.6 to SSP5‐8.5). Precipitation of the Driest Quarter (49.9% contribution) was the key determinant, and projections indicate that under the high‐emission pathway (SSP5‐8.5), the high‐suitability ...

Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...
