Southern Hemispheric jet swing linked to Arctic stratospheric polar vortex
Our study reframes our understanding of stratosphere–troposphere interactions, traditionally thought to be confined within individual hemispheres, by introducing a novel cross-hemispheric link. We demonstrate that strong boreal winter Arctic stratospheric polar vortex (APV) boosts the transmission of upper tropospheric waves from Northern Hemisphere’s mid-high latitudes to the equator. Facilitated by the tropical central and eastern Pacific’s ‘we…
Summer tropical Atlantic drives autumn North American Arctic warming through western Pacific Bridge
The Arctic climate system exhibits dramatic changes in autumn, yet its connection to the tropics remains unclear. This study leverages inter-basin/region teleconnectivity (IB(R)T) analysis to unveil the key teleconnected regions responsible for the connection between autumn Arctic temperature and tropical sea surface temperature (SST). A robust positive correlation is identified between North American Arctic (NAA) temperatures and North Tropical …

Multidecadal variation of northern hemisphere summer monsoon forced by the SST inter-hemispheric dipole
The sea surface temperature inter-hemispheric dipole (SSTID) is an important variability mode of global SST anomalies, characterized by an anti-phase variation of SST between the two hemispheres. In this study, the decadal variation of the northern hemisphere summer monsoon (NHSM) is found to be strongly regulated by the SSTID, with positive (negative) phases of the SSTID corresponding to the strengthening (weakening) of NHSM. Both observation an…
Periodic decadal swings in dry/wet conditions over Central Asia
Periodic variability in the hydro-climatic system has important implications not only for climate prediction but also for planning and managing water resources. Here we identify periodic decadal variability of dry/wet conditions in Central Asia (CA) since the mid-20th century, which are tied to the Pacific quasi-decadal oscillation (PQDO) with a period of 8–16 years ( r = 0.87). The periodically varying forcing in the Pacific modulates zonal wind…
Key regions in the modulation of seasonal GMST variability by analyzing the two hottest years
Following the end of the decadal-warming-hiatus in 2016, the global mean surface temperature (GMST) abruptly showed a 3 yr warming slowdown and peaked again in 2020, overturning the conventional concept that highest GMST occurs with strong El Niño. The high GMST in 2016 was controlled by secular trend and annual variability (ANV). However, the dominator of the sharp GMST rise in 2020 was SCT alone because the ANVs in different seasons canceled ea…
Equity Measurement of Public Sports Space in Central Urban Areas Based on Residential Scale Data
Urban public sports facilities have captured much public attention because of their close ties to public health. However, few studies have comprehensively assessed the equity of accessibility to various types of public sports space with a fine scale. This study proposed a spatial equity measurement method based on multi-source urban data and GIS network analysis. Residential buildings were taken as the minimum research unit to investigate the equ…
The North Pacific Blob acts to increase the predictability of the Atlantic warm pool
The Atlantic warm pool (AWP) has profound impacts on extreme weather events and climate variability. Factors influencing the AWP and its predictability are still not fully understood. Other than local ocean–atmosphere feedbacks and El Niño Southern Oscillation, we find an extratropical precursor from the Northeast Pacific (known as the Blob), which leads the AWP by 1 year with a robust correlation ( r = 0.68). A suite of Northeast Pacific pacemak…
Warming-induced unprecedented high-elevation forest growth over the monsoonal Tibetan Plateau
Growth of high-elevation forests is generally temperature-limited and thus sensitive to warming. The Tibetan Plateau has experienced fast warming rates associated with decreased summer monsoon rainfall over the last century. However, whether such warming and monsoon-induced drought could offset a potential warming-driven enhancement of forest growth has not been examined. Here, we have compiled high-elevation forest growth data at 40 sites over t…
Psychological Impact of the Covid-19 Outbreak on Nurses in China
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is a major public health issue and challenge to health professionals. In similar epidemics, nurses experienced more distress than other providers. Methods: We surveyed both on-duty nurses caring for infected patients and second-line nurses caring for uninfected patients from Hubei and other provinces throughout China. Results: We received completed surveys from 1,364 nurses from 22 provinces: 658 front-line and 7…
Significantly lower summer minimum temperature warming trend on the southern Tibetan Plateau than over the Eurasian continent since the Industrial Revolution
Summer temperature dominates environmental degradation and water resource availability on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), affecting glacier melting, permafrost degradation, desertification and streamflow, etc. Extending summer temperature records back before the instrumental period is fundamentally important for climatic and environmental studies over long timescales. By pooling 39 tree-ring width records from the TP that show significant ( P < 0.05) c…
Using multiple correspondence analysis to identify behaviour patterns associated with overweight and obesity in Vanuatu adults
Objective The present study evaluates the use of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), a type of exploratory factor analysis designed to reduce the dimensionality of large categorical data sets, in identifying behaviours associated with measures of overweight/obesity in Vanuatu, a rapidly modernizing Pacific Island country. Design Starting with seventy-three true/false questions regarding a variety of behaviours, MCA identified twelve most sign…
Oceanic forcing of the interhemispheric SST dipole associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation
In this study, the interhemispheric sea surface temperature (SST) signature of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is analyzed and compared between observations and slab ocean model (SOM) simulations. Observational analysis suggests a robust interhemispheric SST dipole across the Atlantic associated with the AMO, manifested by a strong inverse relationship between the AMO and subpolar South Atlantic decadal SST anomalies. None of the SOMs…
The key role of background sea surface temperature over the cold tongue in asymmetric responses of the Arctic stratosphere to El Niño–Southern Oscillation
The response of the Arctic stratosphere to El Niño activity is strong but the response to La Niña activity is relatively weak. The asymmetric responses of Arctic stratosphere to El Niño and La Niña events are thought to be caused by asymmetric El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections. Here, we suggest that the background sea surface temperature (SST) over cold tongue of tropical eastern Pacific may be an important contributor to the as…
Gated university campus and its implications for socio-spatial inequality
Rapid urbanization has led to a massive transformation of urban space in China, spatially and socially. Its higher education has been growing much faster than ever before, along with an explosive increase of university students’ population. Different from the Western universities, a majority of Chinese university students are required to reside in gated campuses. Their accessibilities to public transport and subsequent spatial and social implicat…
Coming to grips with economic development
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether (1) maximal handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with inter-island level of economic development in Vanuatu, (2) how associations between island of residence and HGS are mediated by age, sex, body size/composition, and individual sociodeomographic variation, and (3) whether HGS is predictive of hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS: HGS was collected from 833 adult (aged 18 and older) men and women on five islands r…
Ownership of consumer electronics is associated with measures of adiposity during health transition in Vanuatu
OBJECTIVE: The Republic of Vanuatu, like many developing nations, is undergoing a rapid health transition. Our previous study identified several behavioral risk factors for the rising prevalence of obesity. Unexpectedly, daily time spent using television and radio was revealed as a protective factor for obesity in 2007. In this study, we sought to explore associations between ownership of consumer electronics (CE) and measures of adiposity in Van…
Secular change in adult stature associated with modernization in Vanuatu
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether: (1) there is a secular increase in adult stature in Vanuatu, and (2) whether adult stature is positively associated with modernization in Vanuatu. METHODS: This study reports on stature measurements collected on 650 adult (age > 17 years) men and women from four islands of varying economic development in Vanuatu. Measurements were collected as part of the Vanuatu Health Transitions Research Project in 2007 and 201…
Variations in North Pacific sea surface temperature caused by Arctic stratospheric ozone anomalies
Recently, observations and simulations have shown that Arctic stratospheric ozone (ASO) variations affect the middle-high latitude tropospheric climate in the Northern Hemisphere. In particular, a connection from the ASO to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been reported. However, no detailed study has been made of a key process in the connection, the influence of ASO on the North Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) and its underlying mec…
A connection from Arctic stratospheric ozone to El Niño-Southern oscillation
Antarctic stratospheric ozone depletion is thought to influence the Southern Hemisphere tropospheric climate. Recently, Arctic stratospheric ozone (ASO) variations have been found to affect the middle-high latitude tropospheric climate in the Northern Hemisphere. This paper demonstrates that the impact of ASO can extend to the tropics, with the ASO variations leading El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events by about 20 months. Using observation…

Sea surface temperature inter-hemispheric dipole and its relation to tropical precipitation
Using different SST datasets, the variability of zonal mean SSTs is investigated. Besides the global warming mode, the variability is dominated by one equatorially symmetric mode and one antisymmetric mode. The former is most pronounced in the Pacific and dominated by interannual variability, corresponding to the ENSO signature. The latter features an inter-hemispheric dipole-like pattern and is referred to as the SST inter-hemispheric dipole (SS…
The relative impacts of El Niño Modoki, canonical El Niño, and QBO on tropical ozone changes since the 1980s
Some studies showed that since the 1980s Modoki activity-a different sea surface temperature anomaly pattern from canonical El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropics-has been increasing in frequency. In the light of an analysis of the observations and simulations, we found that Modoki, as a new driver of global climate change, can modulate the tropical upwelling that significantly affects mid-lower stratospheric ozone. As a result, it ha…
Impact of modernization on adult body composition on five islands of varying economic development in vanuatu
OBJECTIVE: The Republic of Vanuatu, similar to other South Pacific island nations, is undergoing a rapid health transition as a consequence of modernization. The pace of modernization is uneven across Vanuatu's 63 inhabited islands, resulting in differential impacts on overall body composition and prevalence of obesity among islands, and between men and women. In this study, we investigated (1) how modernization impacts body composition between a…
