Summary: In recent decades, a novel Pacific-Atlantic seesaw/oscillation influences the sea level pressure anomalies over the northern subtropical region, mainly induced by North Tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies. This impacts the circulation and convection activities, with implications for early prediction of climate patterns.

Summary: Tropical cyclones are intensifying more quickly along the Atlantic coastlines due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The analysis shows that in the modern era, the intensification rates and speed have increased compared to the historical era. This leads to a higher possibility of rapid intensification, and a significant increase in the number of cyclones transforming into major hurricanes within a shorter time.

Summary: Understanding the distribution and habitat requirements of species, such as cetaceans, is crucial for conservation and management planning. The use of modeling techniques can help predict suitable habitats and guide the development of appropriate management plans based on occurrence data collected from various sources.

Summary: Phytoplankton, as a crucial component, play a significant role in the global biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs. By merging state-of-the-art cytometry and imaging cytometry measurements, phytoplankton size spectra were constructed, showing seasonal changes and compared with optical size proxies.

Summary: The summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) is an important climate signal in regulating the interannual variability of summer rainfall in the Tibetan Plateau. The formation processes of the SNAO-related summer rainfall anomaly in the southeastern and northeastern TP have fundamental differences. Anomalous vertical and horizontal moisture advection make the largest contributions to the summer rainfall anomaly in the southeastern and northeastern TP, respectively.

Summary: The duration of the western North Pacific summer monsoon break events varies greatly. This study classifies the events into short-lived and long-lived categories, with the former accounting for 78% and the latter for 22% of the total events. The results show that convection suppression is stronger and broader for long-lived events, and short-lived events have a relatively even distribution from late July to late September.

Summary: The overturning circulation of the subpolar North Atlantic (SPNA) is crucial for Earth's climate variability and change. Based on observations, the recent warming in the eastern SPNA since 2016 is primarily caused by increased western boundary density at the intergyre boundary, which is likely a response to the strong increase in the North Atlantic Oscillation since the early 2010s. These positive density anomalies spread southward along the western boundary, enhancing the North Atlantic Current and meridional heat transport, leading to an increased influx of subtropical heat into the eastern SPNA.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the summer North Atlantic Oscillation (SNAO) and the Silk Road pattern (SRP) and classifies the SNAO into two categories: strongly linked and weakly linked. It finds that the strongly linked SNAO is associated with precipitation and wind anomalies in northwestern Europe, leading to the formation of the SRP. The study also discusses the interdecadal correspondence between SNAO and SRP and finds similar results.

Summary: Summer cooling is a direct consequence of volcanic eruptions that can affect ecosystems and human societies. Recent studies show that tropical eruptions have a longer cooling impact than extratropical eruptions, but the magnitude of cooling varies by region. This study examines volcano-induced summer cooling in eastern Canada and northern and central Europe, finding that eastern Canada experiences stronger cooling. It also highlights the risks of using noisy proxy records and suggests that the sensitivity to tropical eruptions in eastern Canada is related to increased sea ice.

Summary: The study investigates the seasonal temperature reduction (STR) in the North Atlantic Ocean. The results show that the STR has increased in magnitude over the years, particularly in sea-ice affected regions and the subpolar gyre. The analysis suggests that the increase in sensitivity of sea surface temperature (SST) to heat loss has played a major role in the stronger STR.

Summary: The season-dependent impacts of the tropical North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly on subsequent El Nino-Southern Oscillation evolution were investigated. It was found that the TNA anomaly during boreal summer generates a stronger rainfall response and zonal wind anomaly over the equatorial western Pacific, impacting the evolution of ENSO.

Summary: The deep circulation in the subpolar North Atlantic and its impact on climate signals is not well understood due to limited observational data. This study uses direct velocity measurements from subsurface floats to construct gridded fields of mean velocity and eddy kinetic energy in the deep subpolar North Atlantic. The findings provide valuable insights into the large-scale deep circulation in this region.

Summary: North Tropical Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature (NTA SST) anomalies play a key role in the ENSO-ISM system, but their underlying physical mechanisms are not well understood. This study shows through observations and simulations that the NTA SSTs exhibit a pronounced biennial nature and play a precursor role in the biennial ENSO-ISM system.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the summer North Atlantic Oscillation can be predicted two months in advance based on the strength of the March North Atlantic jet. This extended predictability is influenced by the spring stratosphere-troposphere coupling, contrary to the belief that this coupling is relatively inactive outside the winter season.

Summary: Near real-time monitoring of major air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5, PM1), trace gases (O3, CO, NO, NO2, NOx, NH3, CO2, SO2), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), was conducted in eight cities in the Indo-Gangetic Plain region during the wheat crop residue burning period. The study found that the semi-urban region had the highest concentration of PM10 and PM2.5, while the urban region had the lowest concentrations during the early phase of the campaign. The results also showed that diverse sources such as crop residue burning, solid biomass fuels, vehicles, and industries significantly contributed to the degradation of regional air quality.

Summary: Agricultural and prescribed burning activities emit significant amounts of trace gases and aerosols. This study presents emission factors and ratios based on the FIREX-AQ campaign in the eastern United States in 2019, focusing on burning of crop residues and prescribed fire fuels. The study shows the importance of specific factors such as combustion efficiency, fuel type, and meteorological conditions in determining the emissions.
