Middle east warming in spring enhances summer rainfall over Pakistan

In recent decades, land warming over the Middle East and a northward shift of the low-level jet in the atmosphere have led to unprecedented summer monsoon rainfall increase over Pakistan and northwestern India, areas that used to be arid to semi-arid.

All flavours of El Niño have similar early subsurface origins

The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant mode of climate variability. This study identifies a critical process that remains constant through ENSO regime shifts and that begins many months before the peak of the event. The findings should help understand how ENSO will respond to a warming world.

Crucial role of subsurface ocean variability in tropical cyclone genesis

This study shows that subsurface ocean variability, and particularly changes in the 26 °C isothermal depth, has significant impacts on tropical cyclogenesis by altering upper ocean heat content and inducing sea surface temperature anomalies.

Drying of Indian subcontinent by rapid Indian Ocean warming and a weakening land-sea thermal gradient

The response of the South Asian summer monsoon to climate change remains uncertain. Here, the authors combine observational datasets and model simulations and show that a warming Indian Ocean and weakened land-sea thermal gradient lead to significant rainfall weakening over the central Indian subcontinent.

Unexpected limitation of tropical cyclone genesis by subsurface tropical central-north Pacific during El Niño

Wind stress curl anomalies break the ocean dynamical bond between sea surface and subsurface, constraining tropical cyclone genesis in the tropical central-north Pacific, leading to comparable number of TC for El Niño and La Niña in the western North Pacific.

Strong influence of westerly wind bursts on El Niño diversity

El Niño diversity and its genesis are debated. An overview of existing work along with a fuzzy clustering analysis and simulations suggest that the asymmetry, irregularity and extremes of El Niño result from westerly wind bursts.

Bridging barriers to advance global sustainability

Academic enterprises seeking to support society’s efforts to achieve global sustainability need to change their legacy reward systems. We need new structures to foster knowledge that is deeply integrated across disciplines and co-produced with non-academic stakeholders.

A threefold rise in widespread extreme rain events over central India

Against the backdrop of a declining monsoon, the number of extreme rain events is on the rise over central India. Here the authors identify a threefold increase in widespread extreme rains over the region during 1950–2015, driven by an increasing variability of the low-level westerlies over the Arabian Sea.
