  • Earlier carbon neutrality more effectively limits heat exposure of urban populations in developing continents

    Open AccessSeok‐Geun Oh, Seok-Geun Oh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Achieving carbon neutrality by the 2050s, as proposed in the Paris Agreement, is imperative for mitigating climate risks and fostering a sustainable future. Here, by examining the multi-model projections under the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 shared socioeconomic pathway scenarios, we show that achieving carbon neutrality by the 2050s shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) 1-1.9 can reduce global population exposure (PE) to hot tempe…

  • Concurrent increases in winter precipitation and summer wildfire risk in a warming Alaska

    Open AccessJueun Lee, Shih‐Yu Wang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Alaska is experiencing simultaneous trends of increased winter wetness and heightened summer fire risk due to global warming, leading to more frequent wildfires and greater unpredictability in fire behavior in recent decades. Large-ensemble simulations show that warming drives distinct seasonal changes: in winter, an intensified ridge over the western U.S. enhances moisture transport to Alaska, increasing precipitation while promoting vegetation …

  • Modulation of East Asian atmospheric rivers by the Pacific-Japan teleconnection pattern

    Open AccessYeeun Kwon, Chanil Park et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Despite growing recognition that atmospheric rivers (ARs) play an important role in summer monsoon rainfall in East Asia, the AR variability related to low-frequency (LF) climate modes remains largely unknown. This study reports the significant control of the Pacific-Japan (PJ) teleconnection pattern on East Asian summer ARs. While Korea and central to eastern Japan experience more frequent, intense, and persistent ARs during the positive PJ, ARs…

  • Asymmetric Enso teleconnections in a symmetric CO 2 concentration pathway

    Open AccessSoon‐Il An, Su-hyeon Shin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest interannual phenomenon occurring in the tropical Pacific, significantly affecting the entire world. The ENSO response to increasing CO 2 concentrations have been extensively studied, but the reverse scenario is still not well understood. Here, we investigate the hysteresis of ENSO teleconnections in a CO 2 removal simulation of an earth system model. During the ramp-up period of CO 2 concentrat…

  • Difference in boreal winter predictability between two dynamical cores of Community Atmosphere Model 5

    Open AccessHa‐Rim Kim, Baek‐Min Kim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    This study investigates the sensitivity of the boreal winter prediction skill of Community Atmosphere Model 5 to the choice of the dynamical core. Both finite volume (FV) and spectral element (SE) dynamical cores are tested. An additional FV with the SE topography (FV SE ) is also conducted to isolate the possible influence of the topography. The three dynamical core experiments, which ran from 2001/2002–2017/2018, are validated using Japanese 55…

  • Impact of volcanic eruptions on extratropical atmospheric circulations

    Open AccessSeungmok Paik, Seung‐Ki Min et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Understanding the impacts of volcanic eruptions on the atmospheric circulations and surface climate in the extratropics is important for inter-annual to decadal climate prediction. Previous studies on the Northern Hemisphere climate responses to volcanic eruptions have shown that volcanic eruptions likely induce northern Eurasian warming through the intensified Arctic polar vortex in the stratosphere and the positive phase of Arctic Oscillation/N…

  • Tropospheric jet response to Antarctic ozone depletion

    Open AccessSeok‐Woo Son, Bo-Reum Han et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The Southern Hemisphere (SH) zonal-mean circulation change in response to Antarctic ozone depletion is re-visited by examining a set of the latest model simulations archived for the Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) project. All models reasonably well reproduce Antarctic ozone depletion in the late 20th century. The related SH-summer circulation changes, such as a poleward intensification of westerly jet and a poleward expansion of the Ha…

  • Physical characteristics of Eurasian winter temperature variability

    Open AccessKwang‐Yul Kim, Kwang-Yul Kim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Despite the on-going global warming, recent winters in Eurasian mid-latitudes were much colder than average. In an attempt to better understand the physical characteristics for cold Eurasian winters, major sources of variability in surface air temperature (SAT) are investigated based on cyclostationary EOF analysis. The two leading modes of SAT variability represent the effect of Arctic amplification (AA) and the Arctic oscillation (AO), respecti…
