The scientific parallel is striking. A recent @aasjournal study on North China's 2025 extreme rainfall finds these events are becoming less frequent but far more intense under warming, a pattern researchers are tracking worldwide. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #ClimateScience

How much can methodology affect estimates of ocean heating? This study examines how annual averaging, smoothing and time differentiation influence OHC-based estimates of Earth’s energy imbalance. Read the article: dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00376-02… #AAS #AcademicSky #OceanScience

Greening in China and India yields opposite local climate responses; their joint effect is non-additive, cooling S. China and W. Eurasia while warming northern N. America. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-6…

How well does a weather prediction model capture climate over decades? A 36-year KIM simulation is assessed against CMIP6 AMIP models, examining its mean climate and variability, including ENSO and the Arctic Oscillation. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #ClimateScience

After 2020, heat–PM2.5 co-extremes returned to pre-monsoon India. In April 2022 they averaged 17.5 days and made up >70% of severe PM2.5 episodes. Circulation, not emissions alone, fueled secondary organics. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-6… #AAS #AirQuality #Heatwave #India

Greenland ice holds 235 years of pollution history. Sulfate, nitrate and chloride shifted with North American emissions since the 1780s. Photo by Jihong Cole-Dai at Summit, Greenland. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #Climatescience #Nature

Why is Arctic sea ice disappearing faster near the Bering Sea? The answer may trace back to the tropical Indian Ocean. Since the mid-1990s, its warming has reshaped atmospheric circulation, speeding up ice loss. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #ArcticScience #Climatescience

The 2019 Indian Ocean Dipole increased tropical Indian Ocean heat content by an amount comparable to a strong El Niño, driven mainly by wind rather than ocean currents.doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #Climatescience
