Summary: This study examines the relationship between Northern Hemisphere blocking events and the Central Pacific (CP) and Eastern Pacific (EP) flavors of El Nino. The results show that these two El Nino flavors have different impacts on atmospheric circulation, affecting the strength and placement of the upper-level jet stream, and thus the frequency and duration of blocking events. Therefore, future investigations of blocking and ENSO-related variability should consider the different El Nino flavors.

Summary: Salinity anomalies in the central Pacific induce the strongest surface warming during both types of El Nino, tapering off to the east and west. The distinct sea surface salinity zonal structures between the two El Ninos amplify their difference in sea surface temperature magnitude by about 10%. Salinity effects on vertical mixing and entrainment account for the different eastern Pacific and central Pacific El Nino responses.

Summary: This study investigates the distinct impacts of Eastern Pacific (EP) and Central Pacific (CP) El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on Tibetan Plateau (TP) summer precipitation. The results show that EP El Nino and CP La Nina have opposite effects on summer precipitation in the southwestern TP, with significant decreases and increases respectively, while CP El Nino causes significant decreases in central-eastern TP. This study may deepen our understanding of ENSO impacts on TP summer precipitation and have implications for regional climate predictions.

Summary: Most future projections in CMIP5 show more frequent exceedances of the rainfall threshold during El Nino in the eastern equatorial Pacific, but these frequencies vary widely across models, leading to uncertainty in future forecasts. The sensitivity of precipitation to local SST anomalies increases consistently across CMIP-class models, but changes to ENSO-related SST variability can greatly influence the results.

Summary: The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a consequential climate phenomenon affecting global extreme weather events often with largescale socioeconomic impacts. Research has found that the economic damage from El Nino is far greater than the benefits from La Nina, and under greenhouse warming, increased ENSO variability leads to increased economic loss.

Summary: A systematic bias of the extremely westward zonal current (EWZC) was found in CMIP6 models, which affects the simulation of zonal advective feedback. This bias leads to the overestimation or underestimation of equatorial ZCA variability and the exaggerated zonal advective feedback in the Nino-4 region. This bias is crucial for a more accurate representation of central-Pacific El Nino-like pattern in CMIP6 models.

Summary: ENSO is a significant climate phenomenon that causes widespread anomalies and disasters. Accurately predicting its variation is important for ecosystems and socio-economics. The proposed STL-TCN model effectively captures index features, improves accuracy of forecasting, and demonstrates advantages in capturing ENSO events' trends and peak intensity in historical simulations.

Summary: Research shows that the amplitude and duration of El Nino and La Nina events have not significantly changed over the past six decades. However, the amplitude variability of El Nino events is higher than that of La Nina events, while the duration variability is lower.

Summary: The study suggests that surface net heat flux anomalies during extreme El Nino events generally do not impact the formation of SSTAs spatial pattern, while those during moderate El Nino events can influence the spatial pattern of SSTAs by producing more damping effects in certain regions. This highlights the importance of considering these atmospheric adjustments for a comprehensive understanding of El Nino diversity.

Summary: China is a crucial region for studying the relationship between climate change and hominin evolution. Archaeological sites from the Early to Middle Pleistocene in China reveal that early human activities gradually shifted southward during multiple glacial-interglacial cycles, with frequent bidirectional movements between north and south during different periods.

Summary: This study objectively determines the commencement, termination, and duration of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) and reveals a close link between the ASM duration and sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The study shows that a La Nina year is associated with a longer ASM duration due to advanced commencement and delayed termination. The findings also highlight the importance of ASM duration in understanding monsoon phenomenon and teleconnections, as the longer ASM duration during La Nina reinforces the relationship between ENSO and monsoonal rainfall.

Summary: This study evaluates the prediction skills of ENSO and PDO using large ensembles of retrospective decadal predictions. The results show that ENSO can be successfully predicted one year in advance using a multi-model ensemble reforecast, but predicting winter ENSO for multiple years requires a larger ensemble size. The prediction of PDO at a lead time of five-to-nine years is sourced from external radiative forcing instead of initialization, and the effect of model initialization only lasts for two years.

Summary: This study analyzes two subtypes of Central Pacific (CP) El Nino and shows that they have different sea surface temperature evolution patterns and generation mechanisms, as well as potentially different responses to global warming.

Summary: Archaeobotanical evidence from the Maenakanishi site in northern Saitama Prefecture during the Middle Yayoi period reveals the importance of foxtail and broomcorn millet as staple crops, alongside rice. The reliance on these less demanding dry-field crops in north-western Kanto and the Central Highlands of Japan contrasts with the dominance of rice cultivation in western and north-eastern Japan. This difference may be influenced by the uneven density distribution and cultural heterogeneity of indigenous populations during the formation and spread of the Yayoi culture.
