Summary: This study examines the potential impacts of climate change on fisheries and agriculture in coastal communities across five Indo-Pacific countries. The findings show that while both sectors are at risk, fisheries are projected to suffer higher losses. Most locations will experience simultaneous losses in both fisheries and agriculture, but climate change mitigation measures could help reduce this double burden. Lower socioeconomic status communities are more likely to be affected.

Summary: Changes to coastlines and bathymetry have a significant impact on tidal dynamics and sediment transport processes, affecting flood risk and erosion in coastal regions. Coral atolls, like those in the Maldives, are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and land reclamation, with potential changes to sediment distribution in the atoll basin. The study emphasizes the need to better understand and mitigate the impacts of coastal modifications before undertaking activities such as land reclamation.

Summary: The tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly is influenced by two dominant modes: basin-warming mode and meridional dipole mode, affecting the following winter's climate. The basin-warming mode induces a La Nina through Kelvin wave response and wind-evaporation-SST-convection feedback, while the dipole mode has little impact. Studies show that the differences in these modes play a role in the development of ENSO events in the Pacific Ocean.

Summary: The study shows that the inflow across the Iceland-Scotland Ridge impacts the heat supply to the Nordic seas from the subpolar North Atlantic and influences marine ecosystems and sea ice extent further north. The inflow primarily originates from the subtropics and the Arctic, with its properties and volume transport being affected by atmospheric circulation anomalies and shifts in ocean currents. Gyre dynamics and wind forcing play a crucial role in determining the inflow properties and volume transport in the Nordic seas.

Summary: Variability in atmospheric forcing is mediated by the oceanic ventilation, with changes in late-winter mixed layer depth being a critical factor. Strong atmospheric forcing can lead to deep mixed layers being preferentially ventilated into the ocean interior when the forcing is ceased. The location and density of subduction play a crucial role in determining the susceptibility to this effect.

Summary: The strength of the AMOC at subpolar latitudes is dominated by water mass transformation in the eastern SPNA. However, the distribution of this overturning across the individual circulation pathways of both the SPG and the Nordic seas overflows is poorly understood. Water mass transformation along the pathways of the eastern SPG accounts for 55% of the mean strength of the eastern subpolar AMOC.

Summary: The variability of the North Atlantic atmosphere-ocean system is assessed in low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) climate model simulations. The LR simulations overestimate the low-frequency variability of subpolar sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies and underestimate its correlation with the NAO compared to ERA5 data. These deficiencies are significantly reduced in the HR simulations, which show improvements related to a reduction of intrinsic variability in the subpolar ocean circulation. The mean state of the Labrador-Irminger Seas has been identified as a factor influencing the subpolar ocean variability in the LR simulations.

Summary: The objective of this study is to incorporate soil hydraulic properties into the erodibility factor (K) of USLE-type models. By modifying and improving the existing equations for soil texture and permeability, the study successfully included information on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) into the calculation of K factor. Using the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, two independent K factor maps with different spatial resolutions were generated. The results show that the decrease in K factor values has a positive impact on the modeling of soil erosion rates.
