The analysis reveals that multi-day oscillations are predominantly driven by PW normal modes (NMs), which exhibit distinct seasonal variations and statistical association with Sudden Stratospheric Warming events. Specifically, a prominent 6-day NM emerges in April, followed by dominant 4- and 2-day NMs persisting until June, with subsequent peaks of 2-, 4-, and 6-day NMs extending from July to October. Furthermore, this study presents the first observational verification of the frequencies and zonal wavenumbers of over 10 secondary waves, arising from nonlinear interactions among planetary-scale waves. A notable finding is the prevalence of non-migrating components in the winter 24-hr and summer 8-hr tides, phenomena attributed to the nonlinear interactions. Our findings highlight the complexity of atmospheric nonlinear dynamics in generating diverse planetary-scale periodic oscillations.","PeriodicalId":12523,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Research Letters","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These products included the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG), the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2), and the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2). The overall critical success indices for detecting rainfall (snowfall) for IMERG, MERRA-2, and NLDAS-2 were 0.51 (0.79), 0.49 (0.77), and 0.54 (0.53), respectively. These indices show that IMERG and MERRA-2 reasonably classify snowfall, whereas NLDAS-2 overestimates rainfall. All products performed poorly in detecting subfreezing rainfall and snowfall above 2°C.

The use of high-resolution maps that categorize intra-urban thermal environment and Local Climate Zones (LCZ) could enhance the understanding of the correlation between heat-related health risks and microclimates. In this study, a fine-scale heat risk assessment framework was applied in an arid megacity, Karachi, Pakistan. Following Crichton’s Risk Triangle framework, heat health risks were mapped by considering hazard-exposure-vulnerability components at the census ward level. The heat hazard was mapped using SDGSAT-1 thermal infrared data at a 30 m spatial resolution during summer season. Factors contributing most to heat vulnerability were identified as the availability of electricity facilities, bathroom facilities, and housing density, with contribution rates of 47.51 %, 21.86 %, and 8.07 %, respectively. Heat risks were considerably higher for built types (0.16) compared to natural LCZ types (0.07), with 65 % of LCZ 2, 3, 6, and 7 (compact mid-rise, compact low-rise, open low-rise, and lightweight low-rise areas) identified as high-risk areas. To mitigate heat risks, green space should be planned in LCZ2 and LCZ3 characterized by dense population and compact buildings arrangement, and public cooling facilities and infrastructure should be improved in LCZ7 featured with squatter and slum settlements. Urban planners may consider restricting the growth of these areas in newly-developed regions, including encroachments and unplanned settlements, to prevent further exacerbation of heat stress. This study offers a valuable guide for assessing and alleviating heat risks at the community level, thereby promoting the development of heat resilient urban areas.","PeriodicalId":50341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the scarcity of exposed deep crustal cumulates, which is due to their high density causing such rocks to sink into the mantle, limits our access to deep crustal samples. This study investigated hydrous late Mesozoic mafic–ultramafic cumulate rocks from northeastern Pamir. These rocks are the first of their kind identified in this region and exhibit features typical of deep sub-arc hydrous cumulates worldwide. Petrography, zircon U–Pb ages and zircon Lu–Hf isotopes, whole-rock geochemistry and Sr–Nd isotopes, and mineral major and trace element chemistry were used to constrain the magmatic evolution from source to surface and the crystallization conditions of the primary magma at depth. In situ zircon U–Pb dating yielded a concordant age of 199 ± 1.3 Ma. The mafic cumulates are hornblende gabbros, which had a crystallization sequence of amphibole/magnetite → plagioclase → biotite → apatite. Hornblende geobarometry yielded an equilibrium pressure of 0.65–0.80 ± 0.14 GPa, corresponding to depths of 20–26 km. The ultramafic cumulates, are lherzolites and olivine clinopyroxenites that have a crystallization sequence of olivine/spinel → clinopyroxene → ± orthopyroxene. The estimated pressure, based on published experimental constrains, suggests high-pressure crystallization occurred at ~ 1 GPa. The elevated magmatic oxygen fugacity (ƒO<sub>2</sub>) is consistent with values expected for sub-arc conditions, where FMQ is 1–4 log units more oxidized than mid-ocean ridge basalts. The trace element composition of melts calculated to be in equilibrium with clinopyroxene is comparable to the global average composition of continental calc-alkaline basalts. Based on the petrography, mineral chemistry, and uniform whole-rock Sr–Nd isotopic data, the mafic–ultramafic cumulate rocks are inferred to have formed by fractional crystallization of a common hydrous (~ 2 wt% H<sub>2</sub>O) parental melt derived from a depleted mantle source (<sup>87</sup>Sr/<sup>86</sup>Sr = 0.7046–0.7132 ε<sub>Nd</sub>(t) = 1.5–3.3, ε<sub>Hf</sub>(t) = 1.1–11).

The primary driver of this pattern is the summer Tropical North Atlantic (TNA) sea surface temperature, which has shifted from being uncorrelated to exhibiting a strong negative correlation with concurrent ENSO since the late 1980s. Consequently, the TNA's influence on EASMP combines with ENSO's effects, altering the EASMP pattern during ENSO events.
