Abstract Dust storms (DSs) originating in East Asia impact ecosystems, climate, and public health China. Although DS frequencies have declined since the 1950s, extreme DSs spring 2021 had major effects on air quality over northern Based daily records during 1979–2021 K ‐means clustering, we define two types (T1 T2) China, accounting for 18.7% 81.3% of DSs, respectively. T1 mainly Gobi Desert, predominantly influence while T2 northwestern China near Taklimakan Desert. are driven by synoptic...
Abstract Flash droughts (FDs), a type of drought with rapid onset, occurred in growing season have damaging impacts on crops, ecosystem and hence livelihoods. However, the associated physical mechanism were not well understood, which prohibits skillful early warning. Based reanalysis data for 1961–2022, we diagnosed characteristics, antecedent meteorological conditions large‐scale atmospheric circulation FDs over region south Yangtze River (SYR), hotspot FDs. The tend to occur during periods...
Abstract The increased precipitation in the Asian water tower has prompted abrupt lake expansion and runoff, significantly reshaping resource redistribution Inner Tibetan Plateau (ITP). However, dynamic attribution behind this decadal increment remains unclear. Here, analysis of observations, large ensemble simulations, pacemaker experiments indicates that increase was mainly attributed to synergistic effects external forcing (anthropogenic greenhouse aerosol emissions) Pacific internal...
Continuous measurements of atmospheric ammonia (NH3) between April 2006 and 2007 were conducted at an urban site a suburban in Xi'an, northwest China. NH3 was collected using Ogawa passive samplers every sixth day. At the same time, NH4+ fine particles battery-powered mini-volume samplers. The annual average concentrations 12.9 µg/m3 14.1 µg/m3, sites, respectively. reached maximum (~22.8-35.3 µg/m3) June July minimum (~3.0-4.7 December, which closely linked with volatilization under...
Abstract The reversal of surface air temperature anomalies (SATA) in winter brings a great challenge for short-term climate prediction, and the mechanisms are not well understood. This study found that SATA between December January over China could be demonstrated by second leading mode multivariate empirical orthogonal function analysis on December–January SATA. It further reveals central Pacific El Niño–Southern Oscillation (CP ENSO) has contributed more influence such since 1997. CP ENSO...
Abstract Precipitation on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) exert great impacts energy, water cycle, and regional ecosystem. But due to wide differences in climate regimes complicated topography, TP precipitation is characterized as greater spatial diversity lower confidence of temporal tendency. Based datasets from situ observations, reanalysis, satellites, this study identifies interdecadal shift summer trends southern northern TP, which corresponds well with remarkable changes lakes area recent...
Abstract A severe persistent drought occurred in South China during autumn–winter 2020/2021, causing enormous economic losses and water shortage China. Focusing on this event, study analyzed the climate anomalies associated with investigated underlying mechanisms as well their relationship leading modes of autumn winter precipitation eastern The results suggest that 2020 is mainly attributed to vapor divergence induced by an anomalous anticyclone over cyclone Sea, which are caused Eurasian...
Abstract This study introduces a multivariable covariance index (MVCI) to illustrate the synoptic features of mei-yu in Yangtze River valley (YRV) region, which contains information three indicators including precipitation, surface relative humidity, and tropospheric vertical motion. The interdecadal variation during 1961–2016 is investigated using MVCI. date peak intensity underwent noticeable variations over past decades, are characterized by delayed (relatively early) relatively large...
Abstract In this study, observations from the CN05.1 daily data set and K‐means clustering were used to capture spatiotemporal characteristics of extreme precipitation events (EPEs) during summer over eastern China subregions 1961 2018. Five including South (SC), Yangtze River Basin (YRB), HeTao Area (HTA), North (NC), Northeast (NEC) are identified, which is distinct previous studies. There significant rates EPEs transfer YRB‐type SC‐type (18%), HTA‐type (16%), NC‐type (22%), NEC‐type...
An unexpected super mei-yu struck in 2020 the Yangtze–Huaihe River basin, southern Korea, and Japan (hereafter referred to as regions), causing many casualties huge economic losses. The was characterized by a remarkably early onset (around 1 June), late withdrawal August), intense rainfall during season. precipitation stages contributed more than half of total mei-yu-period over regions 2020. In this study, authors explored dominant remote forcing understand mechanisms mei-yu. can mainly be...
Microcystis possesses the capacity to form colonies and blooms in lakes reservoirs worldwide, causing significant ecological challenges aquatic ecosystems. However, little is known about determining factors of physico-chemical surface properties that govern competitive advantage Microcystis. Here, The wesenbergii aeruginosa, including specific area (SSA), hydrophobicity, zeta potential, functional groups were investigated. Additionally, extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) analyzed....
Abstract The Loess Plateau (LP) is recognized as a region highly vulnerable to climate change, particularly susceptible spring droughts. Spring drought intensity crucial it significantly impacts crop growth and the occurrence of dust storms. However, underlying mechanisms in LP remain unclear. This study investigates relationship between interannual sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) tropical Indian Ocean (SST_TIO). We found that this negatively correlated but exhibits instability. It...
