The Atmosphere's Substantial Role in Interannual Variability of Earth's Energy Imbalance
Abstract Earth's Energy Imbalance (EEI) is a key metric to quantify climate change. While the ocean absorbs most excess heat, the atmosphere contributes only 1%–2% to the long‐term mean of EEI. However, our analysis of observational data demonstrates that variations in the atmosphere's energy content play a much larger role in interannual variations of

Resolving Convection Doubles Sahel's Contribution to Global Dust Emission During the Monsoon Season
Abstract Current climate models struggle to capture the mean state and variability of dust emissions. This is partially due to their inability to resolve convection, a consequence of their relatively coarse spatial resolution. Via analysis of output from an offline dust emission scheme forced with output from a global storm‐resolving model, we show ...

The Role of Near Solstice Solar Radiation on the Pacific Northwest Heatwave of June 2021
Abstract In late June 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced a severe heatwave, shattering temperature records and making worldwide news. The extreme temperatures have been attributed to an anomalously strong atmospheric block, high moisture content of upstream air, and dry soils.

Abstract A long‐term, consistent satellite record of cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) is essential for understanding aerosol‐cloud interactions and their climate effects. However, the Aqua MODIS‐retrieved Nd exhibits an unexpected and substantial increase over the near‐global oceans after 2022, contradicting the expected decline from continued ...

Enhanced Adiabatic Heating Drives Faster Warming of Early Summer Hot Extremes in North China
Abstract North China has recently seen frequent hot days above 35°C or even 40°C before or at the very beginning of June. This raises a concern about the changing seasonality of exceptional hot extremes in the region which might leave population there underprepared.
