Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Warming amplification over the Arctic Pole (AP hereafter) and Third Pole (Tibetan Plateau,
TP hereafter) can trigger a series of climate responses and have global consequences …

Towards the end of June 2021, temperature records were broken by several degrees
Celsius in several cities in the Pacific Northwest areas of the US and Canada, leading to …

While the annual mean Arctic Amplification (AA) index varied between two and three during
the 1970–2000 period, it reached values exceeding four during the first two decades of the …

Globally, thermodynamics explains an increase in atmospheric water vapor with warming of
around 7%/° C near to the surface. In contrast, global precipitation and evaporation are …

Unprecedented heatwave-drought concurrences in the past two decades have been
reported over inner East Asia. Tree-ring–based reconstructions of heatwaves and soil …

Accelerated warming in the Arctic, as compared to the rest of the globe, might have profound
impacts on mid-latitude weather. Most studies analyzing Arctic links to mid-latitude weather …

The cryosphere in mountain regions is rapidly declining, a trend that is expected to
accelerate over the next several decades due to anthropogenic climate change. A cascade …

Heatwaves are consecutive hot days with devastating impacts on human health and the
environment. These events may evolve across both space and time, characterizing a …

New metrics and evidence are presented that support a linkage between rapid Arctic
warming, relative to Northern hemisphere mid-latitudes, and more frequent high-amplitude …
