Tropical precipitation response to anthropogenic climate change in recent decades [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTropical rainfall plays a central role in the climate system, shaping ecosystems and societies. Here we show that recent tropical rainfall changes are primarily driven by spatial shifts in atmospheric circulation rather than thermodynamic processes, and ...

Nature Communications, 2022 The vast tropical Pacific is home to the majority of tropical cyclones (TCs) which threaten the rim countries every year. The TC genesis is nourished by warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs). During El Niño, the western Pacific warm pool extends eastward.

Impacts of Interannual Variations of Chlorophyll on Seasonal Predictions of the Tropical Pacific
Frontiers in Climate, 2022 In this study, we explored impacts of interannual variations of chlorophyll on seasonal predictions of the tropical Pacific by the SINTEX-F2 dynamical climate prediction system, which is highly skillful at predicting El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO ...

Persistent high latitude amplification of the Pacific Ocean over the past 10 million years
Nature Communications, 2022 Multiproxy SST reconstructions of the Western Pacific Warm Pool show cooling over the entire last 10 Ma. High latitude Pacific Ocean SSTs are shown to be amplified, warming 2.4 °C per 1° of warming in the WPWP. This is reproduced by climate models.

Thermal coupling of the Indo-Pacific warm pool and Southern Ocean over the past 30,000 years
Nature Communications, 2022 The mechanism of the last deglacial global warming is key for future climate. Here, the authors shed light on the pivotal role of the thermal coupling between the western Pacific warm pool and the Southern Ocean.

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Subsurface temperature and salinity in the Western Pacific Warm Pool were linked to the shallow overturning circulation and varied on orbital timescales over the past 360,000 years in El Niño/Southern Oscillation-like processes, suggest foraminifera ...

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022 The Indo-Pacific warm pool (IPWP), which affects the global climate system through supporting tropical convection, has been reported to expand significantly under greenhouse warming. Although early research revealed that the sea surface temperature (SST)

Impact of scale-aware deep convection on the cloud liquid and ice water paths and precipitation using the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS-v5.2) [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 The cloud liquid water path (LWP), ice water path (IWP), and precipitation simulated with uniform- and variable-resolution numerical experiments using the Model for Prediction Across Scales (MPAS) are compared against Clouds and the Earth's Radiant ...

Cross-hemispheric SST propagation enhances the predictability of tropical western Pacific climate
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2022 The tropical western Pacific (TWP) has profound influences on climate. ENSO is an important source of interannual variability of TWP SST, but extratropical precursors are far less known.

Mechanisms of the decadal variability of monsoon rainfall in the southern Tibetan Plateau
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 The Tibetan Plateau (TP), as a whole, has undergone a moistening process since the late 1990s. However, the southern Tibetan Plateau (STP) is an exception, where summer monsoon precipitation amount has decreased, and lakes have shrunk.
