Structure and Propagation of Mesoscale Cyclonic Eddies in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Between 1993 and 2022, 1386 cyclonic eddies were identified in the Brazil–Malvinas Confluence, one of the most energetic regions of the South Atlantic. While most eddies dissipated locally, a smaller number of individuals, more energetic, and longer lived propagated predominantly south‐westward and north‐eastward, driven by topographic constraints and ...

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Regional Heavy Rainfall Events in Guangdong, South China: Intensification and Expansion Since the Early 1990s

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Regional heavy rainfall events (RHREs) in Guangdong, South China, during 1961–2025 are reassessed using an improved strength index that integrates rainfall intensity, spatial extent and duration. Results reveal a post‐1991 shift towards more frequent and spatially extensive strong and extreme events, with June showing the most pronounced ...

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Human Thermal Comfort and Relationships With Large‐Scale Climate Indices Along Ghana's Coastal‐Urban Corridor From 1980 to 2020

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Four decades of UTCI data show increasing thermal stress along Ghana's coastal‐urban corridor, with very strong heat‐stress days rising by about 1.4 days/year. Random Forest–SHAP analysis with temporal validation identified AOD as the strongest model‐based predictor of monthly UTCI variability, followed by TSA, WHWP, and AMO.

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...

Fritz Scheffer Under National Socialism: Assessing His Political Involvement

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This article examines the role of soil scientist Fritz Scheffer (1899–1979) under National Socialism and offers a critical assessment of his scientific, institutional, and political positioning between 1933 and 1945. It asks how Scheffer shaped his career within the tension between disciplinary specialization, political expectations, and ...

One Hundred Years of the German Soil Science Society (DBG) 1926–2026: Origins, Facts, and Background of an Eventful History

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On its 100th anniversary in 2026, the German Soil Science Society (DBG) is looking back not only on an eventful history with traditions and impressive achievements but also with painful interruptions and ruptures. One curious fact is that the DBG was initially founded as the national section of the International Soil Science Society (ISSS ...

Biochar and Hydrochar as Soil‐Based Carbon Sequestration Technologies: Implications for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar and hydrochar have emerged as promising carbon‐based amendments for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This review synthesizes and critically compares current knowledge on the production technologies, physicochemical properties, stabilization mechanisms, carbon persistence, and life‐cycle ...
