Abstract: The subtropical highs are semi-permanent atmospheric features that strengthen during April–September, exerting a large influence on regional rainfall1–5. Previous studies have focused on the changes of subtropical highs during their peak season (June–August)6–8, but little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-018-0387-3
Abstract: Model projections of the near-future response to anthropogenic warming show compensation between meridional heat transports by the atmosphere (AHT) and ocean (OHT) that are largely symmetric about the equator1–3, the causes of which remain unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2111875118
Abstract: Significance The western United States (WUS) has experienced a rapid increase of fire weather (as indicated by vapor pressure deficit, VPD) in recent decades, especially in the warm season. However, the extent to which an… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2214525120
Abstract: Diagnosing dynamical changes in the climate system, such as those in atmospheric circulation patterns, remains challenging. Here, we study 1950 to 2021 trends in the frequency of occurrence of atmospheric circulation patterns over the North… read more here.
