Assessment of pre-industrial to present-day anthropogenic climate forcing in UKESM1
The authors quantify and analyse a wide range of present-day anthropogenic effective radiative forcings with the UK's Earth System Model, UKESM1.Read More →
Earth’s Ice Imbalance
Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017, and the rate of ice loss has risen by 57 % since the 1990s.Read More →
The influence of anthropogenic climate change on wet and dry summers in Europe
The authors apply attribution research methods to investigate the effect of human influence on historical trends in wet and dry summers and changes in the likelihood of extreme events in Europe. Read More →
Attribution of late summer early autumn Arctic sea ice decline in recent decades
An attribution analysis based on the self-organizing maps method is performed to determine the relative contributions from dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms to the Arctic sea ice decline in August–October during 1979–2016. Read More →
A Later Onset of the Rainy Season in California
This paper addresses quantitative changes in the onset, amounts, and termination of the precipitation season over the past 6 decades, as well as the large‐scale atmospheric circulation underpinning the seasonal cycle changes.Read More →
A Global, Continental, and Regional Analysis of Changes in Extreme Precipitation
This paper provides an updated analysis of observed changes in extreme precipitation using high-quality station data up to 2018.Read More →
Combined Impacts of Warm Central Equatorial Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures and Anthropogenic Warming on the 2019 Severe Drought in East China
Warm central equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature and anthropogenic warming were possibly responsible for the severe drought that occurred in East China from August to October 2019. Read More →
Extremes become routine in an emerging new Arctic
This study shows how the Arctic is transitioning from a dominantly frozen state.Read More →
Anthropogenic warming forces extreme annual glacier mass loss
Glacier mass balance is simulated using temperature and precipitation from multiple climate model ensembles. The authors estimate extreme mass loss was six (2011) and ten (2018) times more likely to occur with anthropogenic forcing than without.Read More →
