Skillful Polar WRF Cloud Modeling of a Warm Winter Atmospheric River at the Antarctic Peninsula
Abstract Atmospheric rivers are episodic events that can advect relatively large quantities of moisture to Antarctica, contributing to both disproportionate precipitation and melting events. The Year of Polar Prediction, an international effort to improve weather prediction over the southern polar region, presents an opportunity to study the clouds and

Abstract Compound heatwave and drought events (CHDEs) in South China (SC) have intensified in early autumn, yet their driving factor remains unclear. Based on reanalysis data and numerical experiments, this study investigates the potential influence of the summer northeastern Arctic Sea ice concentration (NEASIC) on the interannual variation of ...

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.

What Factors Explain the Current Arctic Albedo and Its Future Change?
Abstract The Arctic has experienced rapid sea ice loss and a substantial surface albedo decline, altering its radiation budget. CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) models capture these trends but show considerable inter‐model spread in the magnitude, distribution, and seasonality of Arctic surface albedo.
