Uncertainty in Antarctic precipitation projections under global warming
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is a critical driver of global sea level rise, yet future projections of Antarctic precipitation remain highly uncertain, posing challenges to modeling ice sheet changes. This study examines uncertainties in Antarctic precipitation projections using simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 and investigates their underlying sources. We find that uncertainties in precipitation projections are substa…
A dyadic analysis of family adaptation among breast cancer patients and their spouses based on the framework of family stress coping theory
Background: The active coping strategies of family members can help breast cancer patients better handle the crisis, and family adaptation is a manifestation of the family's active coping with the crisis. In the study of breast cancer, a disease that predominantly affects women, we explored the influence of spouses on patients' family adaptation. This aspect has not been explored in previous studies. Purpose: In recent years, with the development…
West-warming East-cooling trend over Antarctica reversed since early 21 st century driven by large-scale circulation variation
Antarctic climate changes prior to 2000 were characterized by a strong zonally asymmetric pattern. Over 90% of the land ice mass loss occurred around a limited area in West Antarctica, accompanied by a rapid surface warming rate about three times the global mean. In contrast, surface warming and glacier mass loss around East Antarctica are not significant, until the decades since 2000 when several individual stations show that the temperature tre…
Observed contribution of Barents-Kara sea ice loss to warm Arctic-cold Eurasia anomalies by submonthly processes in winter
The warm Arctic-cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern of surface air temperature anomalies is a prominent feature of the Eurasian climate variations during boreal winter. The interannual WACE anomalies are accompanied by sea ice loss in the Barents-Kara (BK) seas, however, the causality between them remains controversial because of large internal atmospheric variability over subarctic Eurasia in winter. Here we disentangle the contribution of BK sea ice lo…
Influence of tropical Atlantic meridional dipole of sea surface temperature anomalies on Antarctic autumn sea ice
Antarctic sea ice plays an important role in polar ecosystems and global climate, while its variability is affected by many factors. Teleconnections between the tropical and high latitudes have profound impacts on Antarctic climate changes through the stationary Rossby wave mechanism. Recent studies have connected long-term Antarctic sea ice changes to multidecadal variabilities of the tropical ocean, including the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillati…
A surface temperature dipole pattern between Eurasia and North America triggered by the Barents–Kara sea-ice retreat in boreal winter
The Arctic has experienced dramatic climate changes, characterized by rapid surface warming and sea-ice loss over the past four decades, with broad implications for climate variability over remote regions. Some studies report that Arctic warming may simultaneously induce a widespread cooling over Eurasia and frequent cold events over North America, especially during boreal winter. In contrast, other studies suggest a seesaw pattern of extreme tem…
An emerging impact of Eurasian spring snow cover on summer rainfall in Eastern China
Eurasian spring snow cover is widely considered as an important predictor of Asian summer monsoon rainfall, but its possible role in the formation of the north–south dipole structure of rainfall anomalies (NSDR)—a major mode of the eastern China summer rainfall variability—remains elusive. Here, we show that, there is a close connection between the western Eurasian spring snow cover (WESS) and NSDR during our research period 1967–2018, with less …
Long-term trends of global maximum atmospheric mixed layer heights derived from radiosonde measurements
The height of the atmospheric mixed layer is a critical parameter controlling the vertical dispersion of pollutants. Here we calculate daily maximum mixed layer height (MMLH) using operational radiosonde and surface meteorological measurements made at 219 carefully selected WMO weather stations and analyze their long-term trends from 1973 to 2018. We found that 74 stations showed significant increases in MMLH, whereas 48 sites showed negative tre…
The strengthening of Amazonian precipitation during the wet season driven by tropical sea surface temperature forcing
Amazonian rainfall plays a critical role in the global climate system and the hydrological cycle. It is thus important to quantify changes in the Amazonian rainfall and clarify its mechanism. Previous studies indicate that the interannual variability of Amazonian precipitation could be largely attributed to variabilities in the South American monsoon system and the El Niño Southern Oscillation. However, the trend of the wet season tropical Amazon…
