As a natural external forcing of our climate system, volcanic eruptions can exert a negative radiative forcing on the Earth with global cooling; however, what eruptions under what conditions can […]
The Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability (AMV) is a prominent mode of sea-surface temperature (SST) variability over the North Atlantic and can impact European weather and climate, such as droughts and Atlantic […]
Eddies are fundamental components of the general circulation which enable the above regional climate differences to be realized, regardless of the cause – anthropogenic climate change or natural/internal climate variability. […]
Ever since 1976 when the concept of stochastic climate model (SCM) was proposed by K. Hasselmann, rapid progresses have been made in this field during the past decades. One key […]
Local land-atmosphere coupling involves interactions between the land-surface and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and in turn with the free atmosphere above. Initiation of fair-weather cumulus requires an increase […]
Due to the escalating anthropogenic carbon emission, the anthropogenic carbon has been absorbed and accumulated in the upper ocean through penetration of carbon from the atmosphere. To mitigate the adverse […]
Earth System Models of high (ESMs) and Intermediate Complexity (EMICs) are very useful tools to test hypotheses and perform sensitivity analyses. However, they require regular input fields as boundary conditions […]
Air pollution is among the top contributors to the Global Burden of Disease. Communities are exposed to varying levels of air pollution, leading to health inequities. How do we evaluate […]
Climate change is one of the main drivers of the decline in global biodiversity. Reptiles are particularly vulnerable to the environmental pressures associated with climate change and global warming, which […]
Climate change will significantly affect the future hydrological cycle over land, with major implications for water availability for ecosystems and anthropogenic use in regions that already face severe water scarcity. Previous […]
