Contemporary Megadrought on Easter Island (Rapa Nui) Since 2010
Abstract Since 2010 Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has experienced a severe, decadal‐scale megadrought. Observations show that every year from 2010 to 2023 had lower precipitation than the 1979–2009 average. The decline in precipitation aligns with decadal‐scale climate shifts: an intensification and westward expansion of the South Pacific Anticyclone toward

Understanding the Recent Increase in Landfalling Tropical Cyclones Over Florida's Gulf Coast
Abstract Unlike Florida's Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast of Florida has seen heightened tropical cyclone (TC) activity in recent decades with several destructive landfalls. Here, we attempt to understand this regional contrast using a suite of observations for the period 1979–2024. First, we demonstrate that while the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)

Abstract Monitoring of ocean temperatures is crucial for climate studies, ocean circulation modeling and assessing potential ecosystem impacts. However, obtaining observations from the subsurface ocean is difficult and costly. We present a 3‐year time series of distributed fiber optic sensing (sensitive to temperature changes and strain) obtained at 3 ...

Temperature Variability Response in the Warm Eocene and Pliocene
Abstract Extreme temperature events, which are strongly influenced by temperature variability, are becoming increasingly dramatic under global warming. The temperature variability during past warm periods, like the Eocene and Pliocene, can provide useful analog information for our future climate.

Impacts of Northerly Low‐Level Jets on Mesoscale Convective Systems East of the Andes
Abstract Low‐level jets (LLJs) play a critical role in moisture transport, vertical motion enhancement, and orographic lifting, frequently leading to deep, organized convection formation in South America. This study examines the impacts of three types of LLJs (Central, Northern, and Andes) on Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs), using a 4 km horizontal

Abstract Northwestern India (NWI) received anomalously heavy rainfall from 21 to 30 August, 2024, despite the monsoon being in a break phase. This study reveals how midlatitude dynamics triggered this unusual event. Using reanalysis, we perform a moisture budget analysis and local wave activity (LWA) diagnostics and find that the enhanced mid ...

Distinct Impacts of Different Marine Heatwaves on Precipitation
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have become increasingly frequent and intense in recent decades, exerting significant impacts on marine ecosystems and biological processes. However, precipitation anomalies during different stages of MHWs remain insufficiently explored.
