Attribution of the Record‐Breaking Extreme Cold Event Over Northern East Asia in December 2023

Geophysical Research Letters
Against the backdrop of global warming, Northern East Asia experienced a record‐breaking extreme cold event during December 13 to 19 in 2023. The mechanisms behind this extreme cold event remain unclear.

Interaction of the westerlies with the Tibetan Plateau in determining the Mei-Yu termination [PDF]

, 2020
This study explores how the termination of the mei-yu is dynamically linked to the westerlies impinging on the Tibetan Plateau. It is found that the mei-yu stage terminates when the maximum upper-tropospheric westerlies shift beyond the northern edge of ...

Mapping the Spatial Scales of Australian Extreme Precipitation Using Daily Rain Gauges

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present the first continent‐wide analysis of the spatial scales of daily extreme precipitation events (EPEs) in Australia using station observations and semivariogram analysis. EPEs generally have larger spatial scales at higher latitudes, with strong seasonal and regional differences shaped by topography, meteorological regimes, and climate ...

Significant Increases in Extreme Precipitation and the Associations with Global Warming over the Global Land Monsoon Regions

Journal of Climate, 2019
The global land monsoon region, with substantial monsoon rainfall and hence freshwater resources, is home to nearly two-thirds of the world’s population.

Assessing Past and Future Temperature‐ and Precipitation‐Based Indicators in the Republic of Yemen

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
For the first time in the literature, this work assesses the past and future climatic trends over Yemen, a highly vulnerable country for which science‐based, high‐quality information for the development of climate change adaptation plans was not available until now.

Asymmetric impacts of Arctic sea ice anomalies on El Niño-Southern Oscillation

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The impact of Arctic sea ice concentration (SIC) anomalies on the global climate system has received considerable attention in recent decades. Observations and model simulations indicate that winter Arctic SIC anomalies in the Greenland-Barents Seas ...

Weakening and Shifting of the Saharan Shallow Meridional Circulation During Wet Years of the West African Monsoon

, 2017
The correlation between increased Sahel rainfall and reduced Saharan surface pressure is well established in observations and global climate models, and has been used to imply that increased Sahel rainfall is caused by a stronger shallow meridional ...

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...

Asian monsoon rainfall variation during the Pliocene forced by global temperature change

Nature Communications, 2019
The Asian monsoon variations under global temperature changes during the Pliocene are still debated. Here we use a sedimentary record of phytoliths (plant silica) from the Weihe Basin, central China, to explore the history of C4 grasses and ...
