Summary: Previous studies have found that climate sensitivity is smaller for solar radiative forcing compared to an equivalent CO2 radiative forcing. This study investigates the causes for this difference using the NCAR CAM4 model and estimates the contributions of different feedbacks. The results suggest that the difference in feedback between the two cases is mainly due to differences in lapse rate, water vapor, and cloud feedbacks.

Summary: Past and present anthropogenic mercury release has harmful effects on human health and has significant economic costs. The UNEP Minamata Convention on Mercury and global monitoring efforts aim to reduce mercury release and track its success. Global change factors such as deforestation and ocean stratification interact with the complex biogeochemical mercury cycle, leading to changes in mercury exposure. However, based on past declines in mercury release, it is expected that future policy impacts can be distinguished from global change effects at regional and global scales.

Summary: Separating the climate response to external forcing from internal climate variability is a challenge. This study focuses on North Pacific subsurface temperature responses driven by anthropogenic aerosol emissions. The findings show a nonmonotonic temporal response and a characteristic zonal-mean pattern associated with the aerosol forcing.

Summary: Clear-sky CO2 forcing varies significantly globally, primarily influenced by surface temperature, stratospheric temperature, and column relative humidity. The difference in forcing between regions is mainly due to the surface-stratosphere temperature contrast. In tropical and midlatitude regions, the presence of water vapor modulates the forcing by affecting atmospheric emissions.

Summary: The study reveals that global greenhouse gas emissions are primarily concentrated in the United States, the European Union, and China, while developing countries' aerosol emissions have a more significant negative impact on global radiative forcing. Implementation of measures to improve air quality in developing countries is expected to reduce the negative impact of aerosols but may also exacerbate global warming.

Summary: At higher concentrations, tropospheric ozone can cause respiratory difficulties, premature human mortality, and harm vegetation. It is produced as a byproduct of chemical reactions involving nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. This study analyzes the trends and effects of tropospheric ozone in India, highlighting its significant increase and impact on regional warming, public health, and ecosystem dynamics.

Summary: The study describes the representation of hydrogen (H-2) in the GFDL-AM4.1 model and highlights the importance of modulating v(d)(H-2) by soil moisture, temperature, and soil carbon content to accurately capture the distribution of surface H-2. It is estimated that soil removal of H-2 increases with warming, leading to indirect radiative forcing primarily due to increasing CH4 lifetime and stratospheric water vapor production.

Summary: This study quantifies the relationship between anthropogenic sulfate aerosols and low-level clouds using satellite observations, and estimates the range of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) by constraining the associated radiative forcing. The results indicate that the uncertainty in aerosol forcing is smaller and ECS may be larger than previously assessed.

Summary: Proximity to desert areas, drought periods, and control of upstream waters have led to the drying up of Hamoun Lakes, resulting in increased dust emission and climatic feedback. The study used remote sensing and modeling to analyze the effects of water body changes on dust emission and found that it intensifies surface cooling and atmospheric heating.

Summary: This study utilizes a pattern recognition method to isolate the forced patterns of anthropogenic aerosols on surface ocean and atmospheric variables. The results show that aerosol-forced responses are dominated by two modes, one associated with the historical change in global mean aerosol concentrations and the other with the transition of aerosol sources.

Summary: The increasing frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) have significant effects on the structure and functioning of ecological communities. This study found that short-term, strong MHWs can alter bioturbation and biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, leading to enhanced organic matter degradation, increased solute exchange, and sediment oxygen consumption. These changes highlight the system-wide impacts of even shorter-term, strong MHWs on ecosystem functioning.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of alternative filtering materials and bed aeration on the retention of nutrients and fecal bacteria in woodchip bedded stand-off pads for cows. The results showed that the alternative biofilters were more efficient in removing COD, SS, TN, and NO3-N, while conventional biofilters were more efficient for PO4-P removal. Aeration did not have a significant effect under the tested temperature conditions.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: In this study, an electron beam excitation multi-wavelength ultraviolet (EBE-MW-UV) system was established and found to have significantly higher microbial inactivation effects compared to single-wavelength UV-LEDs in water. Mechanism analysis revealed that EBE-MW-UV damaged microbial DNA and proteins, and generated additional reactive oxygen species, leading to microbial inactivation.

Summary: This study focuses on the development of an air-lift bio-electrochemical reactor (ALBER) with a continuous feeding regime to enhance nitrogen removal from synthetic wastewater. The effect of temperature, hydraulic retention time (HRT), N -NH+4 /TN ratio, and current density on the reactor performance was investigated, and the ALBER achieved a maximum TN removal of 73%. The results suggest that the ALBER has potential for treating industrial wastewater at low temperatures.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
