Geophysical Research LettersNew particle formation (NPF) substantially contributes to global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and their climate impacts. Individual NPF events are also thought to increase local CCN, cloud droplet number (CDN), and cloud albedo.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Tropical cyclone maximum intensity is believed to result from a balance between the surface friction, which removes energy, and a temperature/moisture (enthalpy) difference between the sea surface and the air above it, which adds energy.

Geophysical Research LettersCyclones at polar latitudes of the Atlantic‐Arctic corridor exhibit different thermodynamic characteristics. Midlatitude‐origin cyclones, which make up about 14% of wintertime cyclones in the region, are generally warm and moist. The more numerous Arctic‐

Hysteresis of the Antarctic Ice Sheet With a Coupled Climate‐Ice‐Sheet Model
Geophysical Research LettersThe stability of the Antarctic ice sheet under different fixed CO2 levels and orbital configurations is explored using a coupled climate‐ice sheet model, starting from either a pre‐industrial ice sheet or an ice‐free, isostatically rebounded geometry ...

Snow Mass Recharge of the Greenland Ice Sheet Fueled by Intense Atmospheric River
Geophysical Research LettersAtmospheric rivers (ARs) have been linked with extreme rainfall and melt events across the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), accelerating its mass loss. However, the impact of AR‐fueled snowfall has received less attention, partly due to limited empirical ...

Arctic Warming Suppressed by Remnant Glacial Ice Sheets in Past Interglacials
Geophysical Research LettersTime slice experiments for past interglacial climates of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS)1, MIS5e, and MIS11 are simulated using an atmosphere‐ocean‐vegetation coupled general circulation model with prescribed remnant ice sheet distributions. We examine Arctic

Natural Soils‐Based Oxidation Mitigates Methane Leakage From Integrity Compromised Legacy Wells
Geophysical Research LettersAn increasing number of legacy petroleum wells are reported to suffer integrity failure, releasing methane (CH4) into the subsurface and atmosphere. Subsurface released methane is reactively transported toward ground surface with a portion converted to ...

Climate‐Induced Polar Motion: 1900–2100
Geophysical Research LettersIt has been demonstrated that the motion of the Earth's rotational pole with respect to the crust—termed polar motion—is increasingly influenced by barystatic processes, that is, continental‐ocean mass redistribution due to melting of polar ice sheets ...

Dust on Snow Radiative Forcing and Contribution to Melt in the Colorado River Basin
Geophysical Research LettersIn the mountainous headwaters of the Colorado River episodic dust deposition from adjacent arid and disturbed landscapes darkens snow and accelerates snowmelt, impacting basin hydrology.

Geophysical Research LettersMicrophysical characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs) over the open ocean remain elusive due to observation constraints. In this study, dual‐polarization observations derived from a ship‐borne C‐band polarimetric radar are utilized to investigate the ...
