Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Extreme Precipitation and Its Future Trend Analysis in Huaihe River Basin by GUO Wei, YE Wen, ZHU Xuchao, WU Wei, WANG Lu, GAO Huamin, ZHANG Haiming, SHI Shaohui

“…Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario during that time period, the future change trends of extreme precipitation intensity, frequency, and duration are 158%, 130%, and 450% more than the historical trends in the Huaihe River Basin. (3) The correlation between extreme precipitation indices and southern oscillation index (SOI) is higher than that of north Atlantic oscillation (NAO). The relationship between extreme precipitation of the same type and atmospheric circulation factors is relatively similar. …”

Reversed link between central pacific ENSO and Greenland–Barents sea ice by Yuxin Xie, Anmin Duan, Chao Zhang, Chuangzhi He, Qi Mao, Bingxian Liu

“…The variation in wave patterns can largely be attributed to the sea surface temperature anomaly in the tropical Atlantic induced by CP ENSO. Our findings highlight the unstable connection between tropical and polar regions, which provides a basis for better understanding the mechanisms of Arctic sea-ice changes.…”

Correction of ERA5 temperature and relative humidity biases by bivariate quantile mapping for contrail formation analysis by K. Wolf, K. Wolf, N. Bellouin, N. Bellouin, O. Boucher, S. Rohs, Y. Li

“…We compare ERA5 output of temperature and relative humidity in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere with 5 years of In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS) observations over the North Atlantic. Good agreement was found for the temperature fields, with a maximum bias of <span class="inline-formula">−</span>0.4 K (200 hPa level), while larger biases were found for relative humidity of up to <span class="inline-formula">−</span>5.5 % (250 hPa level). …”

Synoptic and Mesoscale Atmospheric Patterns That Triggered the Natural Disasters in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in January 2020 by Thaís Aparecida Cortez Pinto, Enrique Vieira Mattos, Michelle Simões Reboita, Diego Oliveira de Souza, Paula S. S. Oda, Fabrina Bolzan Martins, Thiago Souza Biscaro, Glauber Willian de Souza Ferreira

“…To achieve this, we analyzed data from various sources, including natural disaster records from the National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (CEMADEN), GOES-16 satellite imagery, soil moisture data from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission, ERA5 reanalysis, reflectivity from weather radar, and lightning data from the Lightning Location System. The South Atlantic Convergence Zone, coupled with a low-pressure system off the southeast coast of Brazil, was the predominant synoptic pattern responsible for creating favorable conditions for precipitation during the studied period. …”

Mallard Hybridization With Domesticated Lineages Alters Spring Migration Behavior and Timing by Nicholas W. Bakner, Nicholas M. Masto, Philip Lavretsky, Cory J. Highway, Allison C. Keever, Abigail G. Blake‐Bradshaw, Ryan J. Askren, Heath M. Hagy, Jamie C. Feddersen, Douglas C. Osborne, Bradley S. Cohen

“…In North America, the release of captive‐reared game‐farm mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) for hunting has led to extensive hybridization with wild mallards, altering the genetic structure in the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways. We aimed to investigate differences in spring migratory behavior among 296 GPS‐tagged mallards captured during winter in Tennessee and Arkansas with varying levels of hybridization. …”
