Projected increase in global runoff dominated by land surface changes

Global runoff is subject to multiple influences with high uncertainties in its projections. The authors show that global runoff is expected to increase mainly due to vegetation and soil moisture responses to rising CO₂ and radiative forcing, rather than through direct effects of climate change.

Soil moisture–atmosphere feedbacks mitigate declining water availability in drylands

Surface water availability will change under climate change and is impacted by feedbacks between the land and atmosphere. Soil moisture exerts a negative feedback on water availability in drylands, offsetting some of the expected decline.

Spectral analysis of climate dynamics with operator-theoretic approaches

The Earth’s climate system is highly complex, however it exhibits certain persistent cyclic patterns like the El Niño Southern Oscillation. The authors apply the spectral theory of dynamical systems and data science techniques to extract such coherent modes of climate variability from high-dimensional observational data.

Probability of afternoon precipitation in eastern United States and Mexico enhanced by high evaporation

Feedbacks between soil moisture and precipitation are among the most important land–atmosphere interactions. An analysis of evaporative fluxes over North America suggests that the probability of afternoon rainfall in Mexico and the eastern United States is increased during periods of enhanced evaporation.

Land–atmosphere feedbacks amplify aridity increase over land under global warming

Aridity is expected to increase globally in a warmer world. Research now suggests that this is substantially amplified by land–atmosphere feedbacks associated with the land surface’s response to climate and plant responses to increased atmospheric CO₂.

Allosteric inhibition of PPM1D serine/threonine phosphatase via an altered conformational state

In this work, the authors report a sophisticated combination of genetic, biophysical, and biochemical analyses to identifies the cycling conformational states of PPM1D. The findings reveal how an allosteric inhibitor locks the protein into a conformationally inactive state, and explain the distribution of PPM1D activating mutations in cancer.

Diminishing seasonality of subtropical water availability in a warmer world dominated by soil moisture–atmosphere feedbacks

Here, the authors find increased dry–season and decreased wet–season water availability over subtropical regions and the Amazon. This is caused by seasonally varying soil moisture–atmosphere feedbacks under global warming.

Record warming at the South Pole during the past three decades

Surface air temperatures at the South Pole warmed at over three times the global rate in recent decades. Research shows this trend was driven remotely by the tropics and locally by a positive phase of the Southern Annular Mode, increasing the influx of warm moist air atop anthropogenic warming.

The impact of anthropogenic land use and land cover change on regional climate extremes

Land use and land cover change has led to more frequent hot, dry summers in parts of the mid-latitudes. Here the authors use an Earth system model to show that regions converted to crops and pastures experience hot, dry summers 2 to 4 times more frequently than they would if native forests had remained.

South Pacific Convergence Zone dynamics, variability and impacts in a changing climate

The South Pacific Convergence Zone describes a band of heavy precipitation extending south-eastwards from the Solomon Islands to French Polynesia. This Review discusses the mechanisms explaining the diagonal orientation of the South Pacific Convergence Zone, its variability and projected changes under anthropogenic warming.
