Increased Freezing Temperature of Clouds Over China Due To Anthropogenic Pollution
Abstract The temperature for cloud glaciation importantly determines the initialization of precipitation and lifetime of clouds. The role of anthropogenic pollutants as ice nucleating particles (INPs) to determine the cloud glaciation remains uncertain.

Taklimakan Desert nocturnal low-level jet: climatology and dust activity [PDF]
Abstract. While nocturnal low-level jets (NLLJs) occur frequently in many parts of the world, the occurrence and other detailed characteristics of NLLJs over the Taklimakan Desert (TD) are not well known. This paper presents a climatology of NLLJs and coincident dust over the TD by analyzing multi-year ERA-Interim reanalysis and satellite observations.

DNA barcoding and cryptic diversity in fishes from the Ili River Valley in China, Xinjiang
With a 95% success rate in identifying species, DNA barcoding based on the mitochondrial COI gene was validated in this study using genetic diversity, species delimitation, genetic distances, and unidentified species analysis. Simultaneously, we discovered that the Ili River Valley's fish species populations are drastically decreasing to the point ...

Dust Accelerates the Life Cycle of High Clouds Unveiled Through Strongly‐Constrained Meteorology
Abstract Dust and high cloud interactions are critical for climate change, primarily due to the dominant roles of high cloud in the greenhouse effect and the continental precipitation. Nonetheless, disentangling the specific impacts of dust from the overlying meteorology influence on high clouds presents great challenges.

The dominant role of climate change in determining changes in evapotranspiration in Xinjiang, China from 2001 to 2012 [PDF]
The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China has experienced significant land cover and climate change since the beginning of the 21 st century. However, a reasonable simulation of evapotranspiration (ET) and its response to environmental factors are ...
