  • Projected decreases in subtropical rainfall have previously been attributed to enhanced moisture transport or atmospheric circulation changes. New research shows that neither is the key mechanism, and instead greater land–sea temperature contrast in response to direct radiative forcing dominates.

  • The relationship between changes in sea surface temperature and a measure called 'tropical cyclone potential intensity', which provides an upper bound on cyclone intensity, is explored. It is found that changes in potential intensity are closely related to the regional structure of warming, rather than local sea surface temperature — regions that warm more than the tropical average are characterized by increased potential intensity, and vice versa.

  • The Pacific Walker circulation is predicted to weaken, however, observations suggest a current strengthening. Satellite humidity observations show a weaker response than reanalyses; coupled with model simulations, this suggests that internal variability dominates recent strengthening.

  • RNA-guided CRISPR-associated transposases (CAST) are natural systems with broad potential in biotechnology. Here, the authors report compact type V-K CAST discovered from genome-resolved metagenomics and demonstrate targeted integration of a large transgene to a safe-harbor site in the human genome.

  • Global climate change results from a small yet persistent imbalance between the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth and the thermal radiation emitted back to space. A revised analysis of measured changes in the net radiation imbalance at the top of the atmosphere, and the ocean heat content to a depth of 1,800 m, suggests that these two sets of observations are consistent within error margins.

  • The examination of changes in tropical Pacific atmospheric circulation since the mid-nineteenth century using observations and a suite of global climate model experiments reveals a weakening of the Walker circulation, consistent with theoretical predictions.

  • A climate model shows that hydrological cycle change drives ocean salinity increases, enhancing heat transport into the ocean and modulating near-term climate warming. This suggests that model spread in near-term climate sensitivity may be due in part to hydrological cycle and salinity differences.

  • Programmable, RNA-guided nucleases are diverse enzymes that have been repurposed for biotechnological applications. Here, the authors mine an extensive genome-resolved metagenomics database and identified uncharacterized families of RNA-guided, compact nucleases.

  • Water vapour in Earth's upper troposphere acts as a powerful greenhouse gas, hence the interest in monitoring variations in its concentration there. A way to do so may emerge from the finding that global lightning activity is correlated with upper tropospheric levels of water vapour.

  • Deploying absorptive aerosols in the upper stratosphere could increase the emission of infrared radiation, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect, according to idealised modelling of the atmosphere
