Emissions from burned structures in wildfires as significant yet unaccounted sources of US air pollution

Burned structures in wildfires release air pollutants not included in emissions inventories. Structure burning in wildland-urban interface fires emit hazardous compounds at levels exceeding anthropogenic sources in some US states.

Moisture from US Corn Belt fuels more intense convective storms

The groundwater-crop-irrigation interactions across the US Corn Belt amplify convective storm frequency, extend storm lifetime, and accelerate storm movement, based on a high-resolution regional climate model coupled with an advanced water vapor tracer.

The cascade of global trade to large climate forcing over the Tibetan Plateau glaciers

To trace the sources of Black Carbon being transported into the Tibetan Plateau is crucial for guiding an effective mitigation strategy. Here the authors utilized the adjoint of the Goddard Earth Observing System-Chem model and find that international trade aggravates the BC pollution over the HTP glacier regions and may cause significant climate change.

Impact of irrigation on farmworkers’ heat stress in California differs by season and during the day and night

In the Imperial Valley of California, irrigation of agricultural fields in summer decreases farmworker’s heat stress in the daytime but increases it at night, according to an analysis that uses high-resolution data from a regional climate model.

Mineral dust aerosol impacts on global climate and climate change

Dust influences the global energy budget through various Earth system interactions. This Review outlines these interactions, revealing a total radiative effect of −0.2 ± 0.5 W m⁻², which, alongside 55 ± 30% historical increases in dust, have contributed a radiative forcing of −0.07 ± 0.18 W m⁻².
