Different methods have been proposed to reduce this difference, however, very limited studies are focused on extreme low temperatures (ELT). Here we propose a new method to constrain the projection of ELT changes by establishing their quasi-linear relationships with mean temperature (Tmean) in Eastern China. The results show that the Tmean weighting coefficients considering model performance and independence can effectively reduce the uncertainty range of future ELT. Before constraint, there are substantial differences in the projected ranges of Tmean and ELT between CMIP5 and CMIP6 models. After constraint, the projected ranges of CMIP6 models are considerably reduced, particularly at the warmer end, thus showing better consistency with CMIP5. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, at the end of the 21st century (2081–2100), the original projected changes in Tmean are constrained from 5.1 (3.5–7.9)°C to 5.0 (3.5–6.5)°C, with the warmer end of the projected range decreased by 1.4°C. For the ELT, the decreases of the warmer ends are 1.9°C and 1.2°C for the annual minima of daily minimum (TNn) and maximum temperature (TXn), respectively.

Because volcano plumes mostly exist in the free troposphere and stratosphere where horizontal transport acts rather quickly, previous studies mostly focused on their global-scale impacts. Whether these plumes can affect near-surface air quality has not attracted much research attention. This study uses WRF-Chem simulations to reveal that in the presence of northerly/northwesterly winds and favorable mountain meteorology, the plume from volcano Sabancaya (elevation 5,960 m, ∼80 km north of Arequipa) can be brought down to near the surface of Arequipa through two steps of transport and dispersion processes: (a) With northerly/northwesterly winds, the free troposphere plume from Sabancaya is transported southward and intercepted by Mountain Chachani located between Sabancaya and Arequipa and subsequently transported downward to Arequipa by nighttime downslope winds linked to large-amplitude lee-side mountain gravity waves. Often the plume reaches down to be close to the boundary layer over Arequipa. (b) In the following day, convective boundary layer growth brings the above boundary-layer plume to near the surface through vertical mixing processes, thus exacerbating ambient air pollution in Arequipa. A mechanism on how volcano plumes above 6-km height cause air pollution over the lower-lying Arequipa city is therefore revealed for the first time.

We investigated the changes in atmospheric actual water vapor (AVP) at seasonal and spatial scales from 1979 to 2018 and their sensitivity to air temperature (<i>S</i><sub>avp</sub>). Comparing two different periods, 1979–1998 and 1999–2018, large differences in <i>S</i><sub>avp</sub> were found over land during summer. The west coasts of low-latitude regions gained enhanced water vapor for each 1°C increase in temperature, while the east coasts showed a deceleration in additional water vapor for each 1°C increase in temperature in the latter period compared to the former one. Although there is spatial heterogeneity in changes in Savp after the 1990s compared to before the 1990s, overall summer Savp has decreased by 33% over land and 27% in the monsoon region. These shifts were well reproduced by the Community Earth System Model and are closely related to a shift in low-latitude ocean evaporation (<i>E</i><sub>ocean</sub>) from an upward trend before the late 1990s to a downward trend after the late 1990s (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). Furthermore, we found that the significant decrease (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) in <i>S</i><sub>avp</sub> over land in summer was due to (a) weaker increase in actual atmospheric water vapor and (b) reduced zonal winds from oceans to the land, rather than through the direct effects of global warming on the atmospheric water demand. These results highlight the urgent need for <i>E</i><sub>ocean</sub> monitoring and forecasting to accurately assess land <i>S</i><sub>avp</sub>. Significance statements understanding how water vapor responds to changes in temperature is crucial for understanding global climate dynamics and the movement of water, energy, and carbon throughout the Earth system. We investigated the variations in water vapor temperature sensitivity across different seasons and regions from 1979 to 2018. By comparing two time periods, we found great differences in water vapor temperature sensitivity over land during summer.

The aim of this work is to assess the utility of incorporating model forecasted environmental fields in a statistical model compared with skill coming from model forecasted Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) state in predicting TC activity over the Western North Pacific (WNP). In this study, we evaluate the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from the Subseasonal-to-Seasonal (S2S) database and the Navy Earth System Prediction Capability (ESPC) as part of the Subseasonal Experiment on their ability to predict WNP TC activity using environmental fields. To isolate the environmental signals associated with subseasonal variability of TC activity, we examine events of anomalous accumulated cyclone energy, genesis, and TC days. These events are used to create composites of ERA5 reanalysis fields of environmental conditions related to WNP TC activity, which are used to select predictors for statistical dynamical hybrid models. The ECMWF statistical-dynamical scheme exhibits an improvement in skill by using a tailored outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) predictor compared with the MJO predictors.

The results show that, during transport to the Pacific, dust from North Africa and the Middle East first moves northeast to Central Asia (30–55°N) and ascends to 200–400 hPa before crossing East Asia. In contrast, dust from the Taklamakan Desert in East Asia rises to 300–400 hPa before being transported eastward. As these dust sources descend into East Asia, they often mix with dust from the Gobi Desert. Indian dust travels zonally eastward at altitudes of 600–800 hPa over Southeast Asia without mixing. In the northwest Pacific, reanalysis data show that while dust is concentrated near the surface, maximum outflow to the Pacific occurs at 400 hPa in the mid-latitudes due to strong westerlies. Trajectory analysis combined with observations suggests that this high-altitude transport includes dust from the Sahara, Arabia, and Taklamakan deserts. At Mt. Lulin along the subtropical coast of East Asia, measured dust concentrations during dust events range from 15 to 39 μg m<sup>−3</sup>, while the annual average is close to 5 μg m<sup>−3</sup>, accounting for 42% of the aerosol concentration over the high mountain.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This period was part of the so-called Black Summer 2019/2020. The underlying physical mechanisms and the origin of the near-surface dry air are explored with simulations from the Unified Model (UM) l with 2.2-km horizontal grid spacing and with back trajectories using winds from the UM and ERA5. We find that a near-surface dry region forms prior to the passage of a strong front. The near-surface dry air originates in the upper atmosphere over the Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean, before circulating around an anticyclone, descending as a dry slot onto a deep mixed layer, and finally rapidly reaching the surface through convective rolls. A second dry region forms after the front passes. Again, much of the dry air originates in the upper atmosphere near Antarctica, before descending to the top of the boundary layer and forming a postfrontal dry slot. The dry air then mixes rapidly to the surface. These findings have potential applications for fire weather forecasting and fire management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres","volume":"130 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
