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

Abstract The Maritime Continent (MC) has undergone rapid deforestation in recent decades, altering its land‐atmosphere energy balance. Using idealized Community Earth System Model simulations, we examined heat extremes under progressively increasing deforestation extents, from localized coastal clearing to complete forest removal.

Editorial for Special Issue “Earth Radiation Budget”
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

Dynamic Versus Diabatic Controls on Atmospheric Variability in a Tropical Aquachannel
Abstract Synoptic‐ to planetary‐scale atmospheric variability in the tropics is a potential source of predictability worldwide. However, current weather prediction models struggle to fully capture this variability. Here, we conduct tropical aquachannel simulations using the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model with horizontal grid spacings of 13 and 5 km ...

Spatial and temporal characteristics of Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR): an update [PDF]
A study of the Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) values (Unit, W/m) observed by various satellites during 1979-2002 revealed that the OLR values varied considerably from one geographical region to another ( ~ 100-300 units). The climatology was latitude dependent.

A Novel Ice Cloud Optical Property Model for Passive and Active Remote Sensing Applications
Abstract A new broad‐spectrum ice cloud optical property model, namely the Passive‐Active Remote Sensing Consistent (PARSC) model, is developed to achieve consistency between passive and active sensor‐based ocean‐occurring ice cloud property retrievals.

Abstract The floods of 01 September 2009 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, were among the most severe in the Central Sahel's history, highlighting the region's persistent flood risk. This extreme precipitation event (EPE) was influenced by various atmospheric drivers, including Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (CCEWs).

Pan‐Regional Prolonged Droughts Linked to Consecutive La Niña Events
Abstract From 2020 to 2023, prolonged droughts affected Central‐West Asia, East Africa, and North America, causing widespread disruptions to regional hydroclimate and ecosystems. These droughts coincided with an unusually persistent cold state of the tropical Pacific associated with consecutive La Niña events.

Anomalous Energy Fluxes and Feedback Parameter Over the Course of ENSO Events
Abstract Internal variability may provide constraints on the global temperature response to forcing. Previous work showed that ENSO induces atmospheric stratification anomalies that lead to tropical low cloud anomalies not correlated with mean temperature. Here, we expand this argument. We discuss the physical processes leading to a canonical evolution
