The system generates high-resolution vertical profiles of various pollutants. During campaigns conducted in 2023, we observed a diurnal cycle of ozone and analyzed extreme particulate matter events, including biomass burning and a rapid dust storm. Our analysis reveals consistent ozone depletion near the surface at night, an advection-related “knee” in the ozone vertical profile at ~100 meters, and significant differences in aerosol size distributions between background, biomass burning, and dust events. An ensemble of autoencoder-based deep learning models with prediction heads identified ground data and a novel combined factor as the most predictive variables for the ozone vertical profiles. These findings demonstrate the value of mobile vertical profiling systems for understanding pollutant distributions and tropospheric dynamics, including the distinction between local and regional ozone influences, with potential applications for air quality monitoring.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712341","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}

In contrast, the influence of clear-sky shortwave absorption (SWA) remains underexplored, despite its substantial uncertainty. Using a single-model framework, we systematically perturb SWA and impose CO₂ quadrupling on distinct mean states that differ in SWA, allowing assessment of its impact on both the mean climate and the CO₂-driven response. Enhanced SWA reduces surface shortwave radiation, leading to Arctic cooling. Under higher SWA, CO₂ forcing drives increased advection of colder Arctic air into the subpolar North Atlantic, enhancing turbulent heat loss and facilitating AMOC recovery. This accelerated recovery amplifies warming in the subpolar North Atlantic, strengthens lapse rate and shortwave cloud feedbacks, and ultimately increases climate sensitivity over time. These findings reveal a previously overlooked pathway by which clear-sky SWA modulates long-term climate feedback, underscoring the need to better constrain SWA in climate models.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712342","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, climate and land-use changes, particularly Amazon deforestation, have increased rainfall variability in the region in recent decades. Here, we investigate long-term growing-season rainfall changes over two major soybean breadbaskets in Brazil from the perspective of atmospheric moisture transport. Utilising a novel moisture tracking framework based on a Lagrangian model guided by observations, we identify moisture source regions where evaporation contributed to rainfall over these breadbaskets. Furthermore, we quantify the relative contributions of source evaporation versus atmospheric (thermo)dynamics changes to downwind rainfall variability. Our results indicate that deforestation-induced evaporation declines have negatively impacted downwind rainfall in the breadbasket regions. However, strengthened circulation, evidenced by increased water vapour transport and low-level wind speeds consistent with decreased tree cover, has enhanced moisture transport from upwind regions (including Amazonia and the Atlantic Ocean) to the Brazilian soybean breadbaskets. This highlights the compensatory effects of deforestation on rainfall through decreased evaporation and altered atmospheric (thermo)dynamics, and how these effects may influence downwind soybean productivity in South America. Further understanding these interactions is critical for developing land management strategies to mitigate the agricultural impacts of climate change in the region.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684635","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}

Previous studies on TC-SGWs have not characterized TC-SGW global distribution and corresponding local structure related to the background wind. Here we show the global distribution of the TC-SGWs based on 21 years of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder observations, and reveal three global hotspots of the waves as the North Atlantic-Northeast Pacific, the Northwest Pacific, and the South Pacific-Southern Indian region. We also characterize the local structure of the three hotspots and find that although displaying diverse anisotropic structures, they are all shaped by the combination of filtering and refraction effects of the background wind. Our findings provide a guide for global TC-SGW hotspots and demonstrate the contributions of the background wind, which can further provide a preliminary guide for TC monitoring through satellite observations of TC-SGWs.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"92 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144694125","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}

Its effect on secondary inorganic PM2.5 formation is comparatively little investigated. Simulations with the EMEP MSC-W WRF atmospheric chemistry transport model reveal that global biomass burning emissions lead to elevated annual mean ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) concentrations in densely populated regions where biomass burning mostly does not occur. These regions include eastern USA, northwestern Europe, the Indo-Gangetic Plain and eastern China, where NH4NO3 conditional on biomass burning emissions constitutes between 29% and 51% of the annual mean PM2.5 conditional on biomass burning emissions. Biomass burning emissions of CO, NOx (NO and NO2) and volatile organic compounds perturb the HOx (OH and HO2) cycle globally, such that there is increased oxidation of anthropogenic NOx to HNO3. This results in additional contributions to local-scale secondary NH4NO3 in areas with high emissions of anthropogenic NOx and NH3. These teleconnections increase, by up to a factor of two, the contribution of biomass burning emissions to long-term PM2.5 concentrations, which measurements alone cannot identify as an impact of biomass burning activity. This may become relatively more important as anthropogenic sources of PM2.5 are reduced and as the wildfire component of biomass burning increases under climate change.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677900","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}

Observations and model simulations indicate that winter Arctic SIC anomalies in the Greenland-Barents Seas significantly influence on the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However, whether this influence is symmetric remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the influence of SIC anomalies on the subsequent ENSO is asymmetric. An increase in SIC significantly affects the development of El Niño, whereas a decrease in SIC has only a weak influence on La Niña. Specifically, a winter SIC increase in the Greenland-Barents Seas induces deep Arctic cooling, which triggers an atmospheric wave train propagating to the subtropical North Pacific. The associated subtropical cyclonic anomaly leads to North Pacific Meridional Mode-like sea surface temperature (SST) warming in spring, which extends to the tropical Pacific via the wind-evaporation-SST feedback in the following summer and subsequently enhances El Niño development by tropical air-sea interaction processes. In contrast, a winter SIC decrease is accompanied by shallow Arctic warming, which is insufficient to generate an atmospheric wave train to modify the subtropical North Pacific oceanic and atmospheric states, and thus has a weak influence on the La Niña development. Further analysis suggests that the asymmetric impacts of Arctic sea ice anomalies on subtropical North Pacific air-sea conditions and ENSO events may also be partly due to differences in the atmospheric mean state between high and low SIC years. This study highlights the asymmetric impact of Arctic SIC anomalies on ENSO and tropical climate, emphasizing the need to consider these asymmetries when assessing global climate responses to Arctic sea ice variability.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144678151","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}

Previous studies have found multidecadal variability in ENSO teleconnections to NAE in certain seasons, relating it to changes in the background state. However, the stationarity of the teleconnection and its surface impacts in Europe during early winter remain largely unexplored, a gap intended to be addressed in this study. The observational analysis reveals changes in the teleconnection impacts and mechanisms over recent decades. These changes have strong implications for the assessment of seasonal predictability, hence the performance of the SEAS5 seasonal prediction model is analysed. While SEAS5 does not accurately capture the observed non-stationarity, it displays pronounced multidecadal changes in forecast skill. This implies the emergence of windows of opportunity for seasonal forecasting, where predictability may be higher than initially expected.","PeriodicalId":19438,"journal":{"name":"npj Climate and Atmospheric Science","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664566","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}
