Different mechanisms for daytime, nighttime, and compound heatwaves in southern China

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2022
Heatwaves often cause immense stress on human society and the natural environment. While heatwaves can be classified into daytime, nighttime, and compound daytime-nighttime types, the specific processes associated with different heatwave types remain ...

Mean Biases Dominate CMIP6 Model Deficiencies in Simulating Heavy Rainfall During Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The monsoon intraseasonal oscillation (MISO) modulates heavy precipitation during the Indian summer monsoon, but accurate rainfall simulation remains a challenge in state‐of‐the‐art models. Our analysis reveals a moisture bias in MISO using simulations from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project models.

Editorial for Special Issue “Earth Radiation Budget”

Remote Sensing, 2020
The Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) at the top of the atmosphere describes how the Earth gains energy from the Sun and loses energy to space through the reflection of solar radiation and the emission of thermal radiation. The ERB is measured from space with

Physics‐Constrained Network for Enhanced Extended‐Range Precipitation Forecasting in East Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The complex summer weather in East Asia poses significant challenges of precipitation forecasting. Despite the promising capabilities of deep learning models in conventional forecasting tasks, their black‐box nature limits physical interpretability.

Pronounced Changes in Thermal Signals Associated with the Madoi (China) M 7.3 Earthquake from Passive Microwave and Infrared Satellite Data

Remote Sensing, 2022
Thermal variations in surface and atmosphere observed from multiple satellites prior to strong earthquakes have been widely reported ever since seismic thermal anomalies were discovered three decades ago.

Distinct Dominant Intraseasonal Oscillation Modes Modulate South China's Persistent Extreme Precipitation in Rainy Season

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates mechanisms by which distinct intraseasonal oscillation modes drive regional persistent extreme precipitation events over South China during the rainy season. Based on periodic characteristics of 54 such events, two dominant modes are identified: 12–20‐day (type‐1) and 25–50‐day (type‐2) oscillations. Although comparable

Madden‐Julian Oscillation and Atmospheric Rivers: New Insights on Water Source and Transport for Extreme Rainfall Over the Western U.S.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) were first documented by Zhu and Newell for transporting global water vapor. ARs contribute to extreme rainfall, especially over the Western United States. The primary water vapor source of ARs is from the tropical ocean, where convective systems bring the moist flux upward from the surface to the troposphere. Previous

Global Monthly Precipitation Estimates from Satellite-Observed Outgoing Longwave Radiation

Journal of Climate, 1998
Abstract The relationship between the flux of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) estimated from satellite observations and precipitation is investigated using monthly OLR data from the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites and the merged analysis of precipitation of Xie and Arkin for the 8-yr period from July 1987 to June 1995.

Interannual variations of outgoing longwave radiation and Indian summer monsoon rainfall [PDF]

International Journal of Climatology, 2000
The outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) over tropical Asia has been analysed for a relationship with the Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR: June-September) total using 19 years' data. The ISMR is found to be negatively associated with a simultaneous period of OLR variation over west-central India and the south Equatorial Indian Ocean, and positively ...

Quantifying Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity to Atmospheric Chemistry and Composition Representations in GFDL‐CM4.0 and GFDL‐ESM4.1

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) quantifies surface warming in response to doubled pre‐industrial CO2 (2xCO2). Uncertainty in estimates arises from diverse model representations and climate‐chemistry feedbacks. We quantify ECS with five atmospheric chemistry‐composition model representations (sea salt, dust, organics, ozone, sea ice ...
