The lightness of water vapor helps to stabilize tropical climate. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2020
Moist air is lighter than dry air at the same temperature, pressure, and volume because the molecular weight of water is less than that of dry air. We call this the vapor buoyancy effect.

Forecasted attribution of the human influence on Hurricane Florence. [PDF]

, 2020
Changes in extreme weather, such as tropical cyclones, are one of the most serious ways society experiences the impact of climate change. Advance forecasted conditional attribution statements, using a numerical model, were made about the anthropogenic ...

Tropical–North Pacific Climate Linkages over the Past Four Centuries [PDF]

, 2005
Analyses of instrumental data demonstrate robust linkages between decadal-scale North Pacific and tropical Indo-Pacific climatic variability. These linkages encompass common regime shifts, including the noteworthy 1976 transition in Pacific climate ...

Monsoon drought over Java, Indonesia, during the past two centuries [PDF]

, 2006
Monsoon droughts, which often coincide with El Nino warm events, can have profound impacts on the populations of Southeast Asia. Improved understanding and prediction of such events can be aided by high-resolution proxy climate records, but these are ...

Degradation and forgone removals increase the carbon impact of intact forest loss by 626% [PDF]

, 2019
Intact tropical forests, free from substantial anthropogenic influence, store and sequester large amounts of atmospheric carbon but are currently neglected in international climate policy.

Changes in zonal surface temperature gradients and Walker circulations in a wide range of climates [PDF]

, 2011
Variations in zonal surface temperature gradients and zonally asymmetric tropical overturning circulations (Walker circulations) are examined over a wide range of climates simulated with an idealized atmospheric general circulation model (GCM).

Multi‐Scaled Cellulosic Nanonetworks from Tunicates

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microbial and plant nanonetworks of cellulose have enabled a wide range of high‐performance yet sustainable materials. Herein, a third class of cellulosic nanonetworks is showcased by exploiting the only animal tissue‐producing cellulose nanofibers, i.e., ascidians. An ultrastructure including spherical cells and a microvasculature with diameters of 50–

Durable Anti‐fogging Polymer Coatings Based on C,H Insertion Cross–linking (CHic) That Are User and Environmentally Friendly

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Highly photoreactive polymer networks prevent fogging by forming uniform water films. Activated by visible light and cross‐linked by CH insertion, these coatings exhibit excellent water film formation, transparency, and durability, even after frequent washing.
