Global warming drives an increase in pre-monsoon tropical cyclone activity over the North Indian Ocean

Pre-monsoon tropical cyclones are particularly devastating in the North Indian Ocean. Global warming is increasing their activity, a trend likely to continue and raise risks for vulnerable coastal communities.

Tropical cyclone rainfall area controlled by relative sea surface temperature

The rainfall rate of tropical cyclones is expected to increase under a warmer climate, yet likely changes in rainfall area remain unknown. Here, the authors combine satellite data and model simulations and show that rainfall area is dependent on relative sea surface temperatures.

Fusion of multi-source precipitation records via coordinate-based generative models

This study presents PRIMER, a coordinate-based diffusion model, that fuses multiple imperfect precipitation records into a unified prior, enabling Bayesian inference like downscaling, bias correction, and data assimilation.

Causes of model dry and warm bias over central U.S. and impact on climate projections

Climate models repeatedly show a warm and dry bias over the central United States, but the origin of this bias remains unclear. Here the authors associate this bias to precipitation deficits in models and after applying a correction, projected precipitation in this region shows no significant changes.

Summer rainfall over the southwestern Tibetan Plateau controlled by deep convection over the Indian subcontinent

While precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau is a vital resource for glacier mass balance, river runoff and local ecology, the controlling mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, the authors combine observations and simulations and show that convective storms over India sweep moisture up and over the plateau.

Oceanic memory of tropical cyclones moderates the Kuroshio current

High-resolution sensitivity experiments show that tropical cyclones can induce long-term oceanic temperature perturbations, which affect the mean state and variability of the Kuroshio Current through geostrophic processes.

Recently amplified arctic warming has contributed to a continual global warming trend

The Arctic is under-represented in surface temperature datasets and this could affect estimates of global warming. A new dataset with greater coverage of the Arctic shows a higher warming rate of 0.112 °C per decade compared to 0.005 °C from IPCC AR5.

Seasonal advance of intense tropical cyclones in a warming climate

We identify a seasonal advance of intense tropical cyclones that is closely related to the seasonal advance of rapid intensification events, favoured by the observed earlier onset of favourable oceanic conditions.
