Open AccessHuman-induced intensified seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature
Changes in the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) have far-reaching ecological and societal implications. Previous studies have found an intensified SST seasonal cycle under global warming, but wh...

Rising geopotential height under global warming
Geopotential height (H) is a widely used metric for atmospheric circulation. H has been reported to rise under global warming, but the amplitude and mechanism of this rise are not clear. Based on reanalysis datas...

Precipitation regime changes in High Mountain Asia driven by cleaner air
High Mountain Asia (HMA) has experienced a spatial imbalance in water resources in recent decades, partly because of a dipolar pattern of precipitation changes known as South Drying–North Wetting1. These changes ...

Open AccessSeasonal advance of intense tropical cyclones in a warming climate
Intense tropical cyclones (TCs), which often peak in autumn1,2, have destructive impacts on life and property3–5, making it crucial to determine whether any changes in intense TCs are likely to occur. Here, we id...

Open AccessRobust projection of East Asian summer monsoon rainfall based on dynamical modes of variability
The Asian monsoon provides the freshwater that a large population in Asia depends on, but how anthropogenic climate warming may alter this key water source remains unclear. This is partly due to the prevailing...

Open AccessAbrupt emissions reductions during COVID-19 contributed to record summer rainfall in China
Record rainfall and severe flooding struck eastern China in the summer of 2020. The extreme summer rainfall occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in China in early 2020 and spread rapidly across...

Open AccessBetter monsoon precipitation in coupled climate models due to bias compensation
Monsoon precipitation is a dominant driver of floods and droughts over East Asia, which affect billions of people. The lack of air-sea coupling has been blamed for the poor East Asian monsoon precipitation sim...

A Preliminary Diagnosis of High Climate Sensitivities simulated by FGOALS-s2 in CMIP5 Historical and RCP4.5 Scenarios
FGOALS-s2 experiments for historical and RCP4.5 runs exhibit higher climate sensitivities than those produced by other models. In particular, the simulated global surface temperature increases too rapidly duri...

The East Asian Subtropical Jet, East Asian Polarfront Jet, and Transient Activities in FGOALS
We have assessed upper-level jet streams over East Asia as simulated by FGOALS-s2 and FGOALS-g2. The results demonstrate that both the intensity and meridional location of the East Asian subtropical jet (EASJ)...
