Projected relationship between ENSO and following-summer rainfall over the middle reaches of the Yangtze River valley based on CMIP6 simulations

El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have a strong impact on the middle reaches of Yangtze River summer rainfall (YRSR). The authors project how this impact might vary in the future. As in the...

Causes of the record-low Antarctic sea-ice in austral summer 2022

The Antarctic sea-ice area reached a record minimum during austral summer 2022 (December 2021 to February 2022), with particularly considerable loss in the West Antarctic. Based on lead–lag correlation...

Underestimated relationship between westerly wind bursts and ENSO in CMIP6 models

Observations show that westerly wind bursts (WWBs) in the tropical Pacific play a key role in the triggering, development, and diversity of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Hence, realistic reproduction...

Projected changes in extreme snowfall events over the Tibetan Plateau based on a set of RCM simulations

Extreme snowfall events over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) cause considerable damage to local society and natural ecosystems. In this study, we investigate the projected changes in such events over the TP...

Trend in seasonal amplitude of northern net ecosystem production: Simulated results from IAP DGVM in CAS-ESM2

Net ecosystem production (NEP) over northern latitudes has an obvious seasonal variation, which dominantly drives the seasonal variation in atmospheric CO2. Investigating these carbon processes and...

Impacts of monsoon break events in the western North Pacific on the cross-equatorial flows over the Maritime Continent

This study examines the possible impacts of western North Pacific (WNP) monsoon break events on the cross-equatorial flows (CEFs) over the Maritime Continent using daily data from ERA5 for 1979–2020....

Enhanced rainfall in North China in July 2021: Role of the North Pacific SST gradient

The rainfall over North China (NC) in July 2021 was the most since 1980, and coincided with a meridional gradient of sea surface temperature anomaly (MGSSTA) in the Pacific. The present study shows...
