Reproductive Biology and Life‐History Plasticity of the Yellowfin Snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis in the Southern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
The reproductive biology of the yellowfin snapper Lutjanus xanthopinnis, recently identified as a new species, was first examined across all seasons in the southwestern South China Sea. Spawning in both female and male L. xanthopinnis was observed over the years.

The Eurasian ice sheet reinforces the East Asian summer monsoon during the interglacial 500 000 years ago [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2008
Deep-sea and ice-core records show that interglacial periods were overall less "warm" before about 420 000 years ago than after, with relatively higher ice volume and lower greenhouse gases concentration.

No Place to Hide? Regional Resilience and Vulnerability to Global Catastrophic Risk

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
No location on Earth withstands every global catastrophe. This review maps the geographic, institutional and infrastructural factors shaping resilience to nuclear, volcanic and impact winters, infrastructure loss and pandemics. Geographic isolation, food self‐sufficiency, strong governance and decentralization improve resilience across scenarios ...

The Relation Between Two Types of Frequent Wave Breaking Over Southeastern Siberia and Different Conditions of Unseasonable Midsummer Weather Over Japan

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
To analyze the different morphologies of Rossby wave breaking over Eastern Siberia and their relationships with the anomalous patterns of temperature and precipitation that cause unseasonable midsummer weather conditions over Japan, we performed regression analyses against the interannual variabilities of the anticyclonic and cyclonic Rossby wave ...

Detection, Attribution and Projection of Precipitation Structure Changes Over Northwest China

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 10, August 2026.
The precipitation structure shows a change trend of ‘the frequency of light precipitation decreased and the intensity of heavy precipitation increased’; attribution analysis shows that greenhouse gas forcing (GHG) is the main driving factor of precipitation structure change, and the model underestimates its impact, while aerosol forcing (AER) and ...

East Asian atmospheric rivers are most hazardous in summer

Weather and Climate Extremes
This study investigates the hazard of East Asian Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) by applying the AR scale to AR catalog. When AR scale is categorized into five ranks from Category 1 (Cat1) to Category 5 (Cat5) by considering the duration and intensity of each ...

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 248-257, August 2026.
This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

MAUSAM: An Observations‐Focused Assessment of Global AI Weather Prediction Models During the South Asian Monsoon

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Past evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) weather prediction has primarily relied on reanalyses, which can obscure important deficiencies due to prevailing biases in reanalyses themselves. Here, we present MAUSAM (Measuring AI Uncertainty during South Asian Monsoon), an evaluation of seven leading AI‐based prediction systems—FourCastNet,

Change in South Asian Summer Monsoon During MIS7, an Interglacial Complex of the Middle Pleistocene With High Obliquity Forcing

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon is a major component of the global climate system, yet its response to varying boundary conditions remains debated. We present pollen data from IODP Site U1446 (Bay of Bengal), recording vegetation changes in India's Core Monsoon Zone (CMZ) between 260 and 190 ka, spanning Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 7.

Are Modern Droughts Unprecedented?

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract Global drought variability of past centuries remains poorly understood due to sparse instrumental records and limited paleoclimate reconstructions. Yet, quantifying long‐term forced and unforced variability is key for assessing the extremeness of modern (2000–2024) drought events.
