Although machine learning (ML) offers an efficient approach for typhoon rainfall forecasting, individual models often exhibit considerable uncertainty. To address this, this study proposes a robust typhoon rainfall forecasting model based on Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) with four ML models including Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR), K-Nearest Neighbors Regression (KNN), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) across 0–6 h lead time. The model incorporates three types of features within the typhoon impact area (radius of 400 km): typhoon characteristics, grid spatial attributes and meteorological characteristics. Typhoon characteristics of each grid are dynamically weighted to reflect the weakening typhoon impacts with increasing distance from the typhoon center. Based on these features, multiple scenarios consisting of two experiments (Input Unchanged (IU) and Rolling Forecast (RO)) paired with various input designs (ALL: all features, SHAP3: 3 most critical variables, and LAG4: 4 lagged rainfall) are designed to explore the performance of all models. Case study of 28 typhoons affecting Guangdong Province from 2020 to 2023 clearly demonstrated that the weighted typhoon wind speed contributed the most in typhoon rainfall forecasting, and the BMA approach significantly enhanced the forecast accuracy. Leveraging sufficient effective information as model inputs could significantly improve the predictive performance of individual models in long-term forecasting.

Seasonally, ASM concentrations followed the order: spring > winter > fall > summer, with higher ASM levels observed in the western waters of Taiwan Island than those in the eastern waters. Among the mercury species, gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) was predominant, and followed by particulate-bound mercury (PBM) and gaseous oxidized mercury (GOM), with total gaseous mercury (TGM = GEM+GOM) accounting for 92.1–98.4 % of ASM. Clustered trajectory analysis indicated that Asian Northeastern Monsoons (ANMs) may transport ASMs originating from continental sources in North and East Asia to the island sites via long-range transport. Slash-and-burn activities in the Indochina Peninsula and mainland China during spring and winter contributed to elevated ASM levels. The West Channel exhibited a pronounced “channel effect,” amplifying industrial emissions across the Taiwan Strait and resulting in higher ASM levels at the Penghu Islands. Conversely, the East Channel received diluted air masses through long-range transport from the Korean Peninsula and North China via Green Island and the Bashi Channel, leading to relatively lower ASM levels at the Dongsha Island.

Moreover, even fewer have explored how uncertainties inherent in these datasets affect derived climatic indices. To address this gap, the present study deals with the application of ground station measurements and a gridded dataset (CRU_TS 4.04) to estimate the aridity index (AI) and Thornthwaite's Moisture index (Im) over the Greek peninsula for three different consecutive climatic periods. Ground station data estimations are compared against the outcomes of the respective gridded datasets. Results show that the application of gridded data led to AI values increase in many areas, altering the aridity classification from semi-arid (SA) to sub-humid (SH) or humid (H) categories. Further, the application of gridded data led to both underestimations and overestimations of the Im, depending on the site: more dry conditions along the western coast (in most cases) and the eastern Aegean islands (with significant differences in some of the islands) and more humid conditions over the northwestern mainland and the southern part along with the Aegean islands.

Bias correction of the land surface model (LSM) simulated ET is a popular approach for providing large-scale, long-term estimations. Previous correction methods often ignore stochastic errors, making them unsuitable for complex conditions. Therefore, this study evaluated the performance of the Community Land Model 5.0 (CLM 5.0) in simulating ET based on the Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM) product and in situ observations across mainland China, analyzed the main factors influencing model performance, developed a time-variant bias correction strategy using the random forest (RF) method. Results show that precipitation is crucial in influencing the performance and uncertainty of CLM 5.0 simulations since it determines whether ET is limited by energy or water. The CLM 5.0 performed worse but with lower uncertainty in water-limited regions due to soil water stress, while it performed better but with higher uncertainty in energy-limited regions. Future research should focus on refining the depth limits of dry surface layer (DSL) parameterization to improve model performance in water-limited regions. Furthermore, the CLM 5.0 overestimated ET in the Northern China (NC) region but underestimated ET in the other seven regions. The overestimation is attributed to the model's overestimation of leaf area index and the underestimation of GLEAM data in farmland. After bias correction, the national average correlation coefficients (<em>R</em>) increased by 0.102, root mean square errors (<em>RMSE</em>) decreased by 0.178 mm/d, absolute mean bias (<em>BIAS</em>) values decreased by 0.006 mm/d, Kling-Gupta efficiency (<em>KGE</em>) values increased by 0.154, and uncertainty coefficients with 95 % confidence level (<em>U</em><sub><em>95%</em></sub>) decreased by 0.195 mm/d. The performance of bias corrected simulations is significantly improved. The trends of both overestimation and underestimation of ET simulations by CLM 5.0 at a regional scale have also been alleviated. The time-invariant bias correction strategy proposed in this study demonstrates more reliable performance compared to the previous studies that applied monthly scaling factors.
